Arnold stated that the Brewers are not focused on the league's economic arguments and are instead concentrating on their performance. The next World Series for the Brewers will be their first, despite MLB's belief that a salary cap is necessary to level the playing field between small and large-market teams. Three small-market franchises, including the Brewers, are currently in contention for a championship alongside the Dodgers, who have won the last two World Series. Arnold emphasized that his team is not insulted by MLB's stance and remains focused on winning.",
