LOS ANGELES DODGERS 2020 WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!
but you guys aren't getting a parade.
They played a 60 game season and beat a team with a payroll of 28 million. A parade is a bit much. Maybe a small ceremony before opening day and a commemorative coffee mug or mini bat would be more appropriate.but you guys aren't getting a parade.
Bravo, trolls
Tampa would have had a parade.
But, well done Dodgers.
oh contrere, mon frere!
I believe this world series win was more of an accomplishment because there was 1 more round of playoffs than normal...thus the odds of winning were slimmer

Take away the money being wasted on Kelly and Jansen, and the Dodgers payroll is 28 million dollars.They played a 60 game season and beat a team with a payroll of 28 million. A parade is a bit much.

Tampa's adjusted payroll was 28 million for this season.Take away the money being wasted on Kelly and Jansen, and the Dodgers payroll is 28 million dollars.
Dodgers just under 108 mill. Take off ~9 million adjusted for Kelly + Jansen = 99 million.
"Take away the money being wasted on Kelly and Jansen, and the Dodgers payroll is 28 million dollars."
Take away NY and. Calif and Dems never win again.
Congrats to all Dodger fans..esp if you from Bklyn!!!
P.s. TB played like doo-doo for 6 games and lucky they did not get swept....

Oh haha they did allow Turner on the field to celebrate after. Some strict protocols there. Seemed like Fox tried not to show him.
Atlanta was the much tougher opponent. Actually felt like it got easier from the NLCS to the World Series. Arozarena was the only reason this thing was 4-2 instead of a sweep.
And this... wasn't a very good PR move:
That's almost taken over the entire story of the Dodgers winning for the first time in 32 years.
I think Turner should claim he was holding his breath the entire time.
I’m just a bitter small market fan. I’m trolling the big market teams as I would if OSA was celebrating a Yankees victory. It’s no fun when your team is the farm club for big markets. I am legit happy for you and your son and the other dodger fans. You guys have had a fairly long drought.Take away the money being wasted on Kelly and Jansen, and the Dodgers payroll is 28 million dollars.
Dodgers are selling $55 World Champions caps and $35 World Champion shirts (the latter of which is said to be of poor quality, according to one Dodgers Facebook group).
I mean... I would be willing to throw down some Jew gold for some of this stuff for me and Benjamin, but not if they're going to both gouge me and send me poor quality shit.
I guess I'll be purchasing knockoffs from Amazon. Wuhan T-Shirt Company, here I come.
Wait a couple months, got an Astros WS hat for $5, they were selling hoodies for $9 but ran out before I got to Dicks.
Not only that, but there was a giant line outside Dodger Stadium to get into the store to buy them.Wait a couple months, got an Astros WS hat for $5, they were selling hoodies for $9 but ran out before I got to Dicks.
32 years is a long time, and the last 8 years have felt especially long because the Dodgers had so many good teams which fell short.
I'm not buying into that hype. Once the knockoffs show up, I'll buy them for myself and Benjamin.
A sign of things to come? The lack of parity in baseball might reach new levels next year if teams like the Dodgers and Yankees and a few others want to spend more.
In a rather stunning move, the Indians have placed closer Brad Hand on outright waivers, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports (via Twitter). It’s a pure cost-cutting transaction from Cleveland, with the hope that another team places a claim on the left-hander, who has a $10MM club option on his current contract. Any club that claims Hand would be able to pick up that option and retain him for the 2021 season at that $10MM price.
Per Meisel, the Indians had planned to decline the option, which would’ve required paying a $1MM buyout. They’ll decline it if he goes unclaimed. However, Cleveland would stand to save that $1MM if another team makes a claim, which seems possible given Hand’s excellent 2020 season and generally strong track record.
Hand, 30, led the American League with 16 saves this year and posted a 22-to-4 K/BB ratio with a 2.05 ERA over the life of 22 innings. He had a few hiccups in the ninth inning early on, but Hand’s overall results fall right in line with his All-Star track record. Since being unearthed by the Padres on a waiver claim back in 2016, Hand owns a 2.70 ERA with 12.2 K/9, 3.0 BB/9 and 0.87 HR/9.
Waiver priority at this juncture is based on reverse order of the league-wide standings. That’d give the Pirates, Rangers, Tigers, Red Sox, D-backs, Orioles, Nationals, Mets, Rockies and Angels first crack at Hand, in that order. Most of those clubs are rebuilding or cutting costs themselves, but it’s feasible that a team like the Red Sox, Nats, Mets or Angels could place a claim with an eye toward contending in 2021.
Frankly, revenue losses notwithstanding, it’s arguable that any club should welcome the chance to bring Hand into the fold. There’s not a team that wouldn’t be bettered by adding a pitcher of this caliber to its relief corps, and the one-year, $10MM price point would be considered a bargain under normal market circumstances.
Of course, the absence of fans in 2020 has created what most expect to be a brutal market for free agents as clubs take drastic measures to cut payroll. As such, some clubs will surely pass on claiming Hand — maybe in hopes that he’ll go unclaimed and be available on a multi-year deal at a lower annual rate — but it’s hard to imagine that a hopeful contender won’t jump at the opportunity to acquire an elite bullpen price on a one-year term.
As for the Indians, this removes doubt about the club’s offseason direction. It’s long been expected that they’ll continue last winter’s efforts to pare back payroll, although not in such egregious fashion. The move to place Hand on waivers only seems to further the likelihood that Cleveland will trade superstar shortstop Francisco Lindor, whose salary could approach or exceed $20MM in his final trip through the arbitration process. That much has looked likely since owner Paul Dolan infamously told fans to “enjoy him” a few years back, but it now feels more inevitable than ever before.
Looking more broadly at the market as a whole, it’ll be of greater concern for free agents — relievers, in particular — across the game if Hand somehow passes through waivers unclaimed. If no club is willing to take on Hand at a one-year, $10MM term (or if he survives all the way to the Dodgers, who are last in waiver priority), that will speak volumes about market expectations in the months to come.
Well, consider that he had been around the other players/staff for weeks, and had spent all of the day but for 2 innings around the others, so if he was going to transmit, it probably already happened....and a world series celebration is something very few players ever get to take part in.Atlanta was the much tougher opponent. Actually felt like it got easier from the NLCS to the World Series. Arozarena was the only reason this thing was 4-2 instead of a sweep.

should have at worn a mask though for appearances sake--its a shame, it may have destroyed a lot of his brand in a way similar to what Nancy Kerrigan did to herself.

Got MLB umpire Brian O’Nora locally in crack whore sting. Always had heard he’s a dick, so I figured I’d add to google search

The last season was so retarded I cannot screw up the interest to read anything about baseball. For me, that is an extraordinary development. This probably doesn’t bode well for general fan interest either.
The financial issues, absence of fans and frankly the collusion is too much to bear at the moment.
Maybe the Dodgers need to accept some blame here too.
