    So Madison Bumgardener goes to the Diamondback

    as a Dodger fan, I questioned any interest in him by the Dodgers--history of trouble between him & Dodgers, don't know if he would have fit in

    and Kluber to the Rangers...

    (yawn) the Dodgers missed out there too



    so the Dodgers continue as a trial horse in the offseason
    (long before there was a PFA i had my Grenade & Crossbones avatar at DD)

    You're not going to win the World Series with Dave Roberts at the helm that's for sure. You will win the NL West but that's about it.
    the dodgers don't have to do anything and they'll be fine. they have a deep pool of potential all star young players. the ceiling is high for verdugo and lux. not to mention urias and may could be dominant starters.

    pollock should bounce back and seager could have the best year of his career as well.

    Don't know about Pollock and Seager but I agree with most of the rest. I would love to see them make a big signing, but the truth is that they have enough existing talent to put forth a similar (and perhaps better) team than 2018's model, which won 106 games.

    They've still gotta be by far the most likely to win the NL West. In the playoffs, yes, I'd like to see a big piece added (Cole or Strasburg would have been great), but it's not like they're dead without it.

    I do hope Seager bounces back because he's Benjamin's favorite player, and I even bought him a Seager bobblehead recently for Hanukkah. Right after I bought it, trade rumors started swirling, but it's looking more likely Seager will stay, given Lindor's new home.

    I do wonder if Roberts is even making his own decisions, or whether he's getting communication from above. There has long been suspicion that he's mostly a puppet for the front office. This would also explain why they don't ever fire him when he screws up.

    Hence why I think that if in the case the Dodgers are forced to stand pat and you plateau or regress then bringing aboard Scioscia who is a very well respected Dodger and part of your last World Series win would be compelling. Not to mention he has won the World Series as a manager.

    Lindor hasn't changed teams (yet).

    97.5 is actually a pretty fair line for the Dodgers

    All the love is built in. These are the chocolate covered cherries of Christmas MLB totals. You can’t resist.

    It’s a warm summer night. You’re out walking the dog listening on pirate radio. Now close your eyes and picture your pitching staff.

    This is it buddy.

    Gawd I miss MLB $

    We had a party today and some well-meaning person gave me this.

    I feel like my whole life’s work has been wasted as they think I am a homer. Red Sox are gonna suck cock

    Said they bought it on Etsy. Make me an offer

    ryu has been a great sp for la. how these numbers translate into al east is another story. how much of a hit is he going to take?

    just look at all the sp that moved teams on the other side of 30 once made available in FA in the past 25 years. take it another step and factor in moving from a pitchers heaven to almost a pitchers hell.


    i'm pretty sure the outcomes are staggering and most were sunk cost and blown monies...think nomo,..chan ho ark, etc, etc...it really wouldn't be that hard to write an article filled with dread on this signing and have it be accurate and true.


    fact is. this signing makes the jays better regardless of cost. since there is no accountability if this signing is a bust does it even matter?


    back to ryu.


    can the jays get 1 year of low 3' era, being a top 10/15 sp in the al and 30 starts?....or will ryu immediately pitch to a 3.5-4 era?..the latter seems realistic, factoring in age and the league change. plus, being overweight and at his age you can't rule out 3/4/5 starter numbers from the onset of the contract....


    ...there really should not this muck risk with an 80mil contract.

    got the mad dog on and he was going through the over/unders...

    he was mentioning 3 teams in the NL who don't have a shot this year: FLA, PIT, SF

    looking at the O/Us for PIT and SF...

    seeing both SF and PIT at 70.5 at one of my outs and 71.5 at another (both sides -110)...

    im interested in PIT U here...they already traded marte...still have bell and Polanco on the team, but by trading marte it would seem like they're not really gonna give it a go to win games...don't know if they are looking to move archer or not, but if they did I think that'd be a further indication that they're looking to rebuild...

    Red Sox trade Betts to & unload Price on the Dodgers

    Rumor has it there is a 3rd team involved.

    This is sad news as another season of Dodgers ridicule would be fun. I dearly hope they get stuck with Price.

    Giving up Betts is a heavy price (pun) to pay for dumping Price but it’s worth it

    gosh, didn't think the Dodgers had the nerve...give up Maeda, Verdugo & Pedersen, but kept Lux, May, Gonsolin, Seager and get Betts, Price & Rengifo (who?)
