Overview
- On his New Heights podcast, Jason Kelce said baseball "sucks" and argued teams can "buy World Series championships," citing the Dodgers’ spending after their back-to-back titles.
- The show’s clip drew about 1.1 million views and prompt criticism from Canadian media figures such as Sportsnet’s Hazel Mae and TSN anchor Jennifer Hedger.
- Alex Rodriguez praised the 2025 World Series as one of the best he has seen, and fans resurfaced Bryce Harper’s earlier defense of the Dodgers’ spending as smart roster-building.
- Defenders noted the seven-game Dodgers–Blue Jays series featured dramatic swings and strong viewership, with Game 7 averaging 25.98 million viewers across Fox platforms, per AP.
- Late Friday, Kelce posted on X that he loves Canada, doesn’t hate the Dodgers, and objects to MLB’s competitive system, saying he’d “do the same thing” in Los Angeles’ position.
