So the Braves aren't even in contention for the better middle market relievers? At the top of the market, Scott, Yates, and Minter have all gone to fierce league competitors. Hoffman to the Blue Jays. Sewald, Leclerc, and Kittredge have all signed. Some of the options remaining in the...

San Diego fans are wanting Baldwin, 1 of Waldrep/AJSS, AND Owen Murphy.

Probably a guy down the ladder like Guanipa. Before the Yates signing becomes official, they need to trade at least one guy.

Let's get really funky: replace Arcia with Bregman and sign Pete Alonso and rotate him with Olson at DH and 1B. Move Ozuna to LF.

It's really an unprecedented situation. Ohtani is maybe the GOAT baseball player and he's right in his prime earning 2-3% of his annual market value. They are earning $70+ million annually from Japanese sponsors alone. Then they have a $334 million per annum TV deal until 2038. There's $400...

The Blue Jays are also interested in Pete Alonso. Both those teams appear poised to challenge the Yankees in the AL.

Precisely. I am loving it. They have now signed in a single offseason: a multi-time Cy Young winner the best Japanese pitcher the best posted Korean position player the best closer the 2nd best closer Michael Conforto And have resigned Blake Treinen, Teoscar Hernandez, and given Tommy...

I failed to mention Vesia, who is a great lefty. And they get Graterol back around August, which is like trading for a good bullpen piece.

The Dodgers now have about 4-5 options for the "closer role" in Scott, Yates, Phillips, Kopech, and Treinen. Which means they have 4-5 options for important spots in any of the 6th, 7th, and 8th innings. That team is going to be ridiculous.

Kirby Yates to the Dodgers. This is unprecedented. Utter madness. Funny. Ridiculous. Completely nonsensical. Never seen anything like it.

This is complete pollyanna nonsense. It's been a horrendous offseason and unless something totally unforeseen occurs, the Braves have gotten worse while their rivals have gotten better. There is absolutely nothing to suggest "good things are coming", and that may be the least ridiculous part...

Only 12 teams make the playoffs. And the 2 with the best record from each league receive Wild Card round byes. It's functionally not different at all from the 1990s if you are a juggernaut team.

I am old enough to remember the Yankees dynasty of the 1990s. They were just better. Winning is very hard and luck is involved but it's not all luck. You can't just shrug your shoulders and say that.

Kershaw won't be back til midseason. That guy is a Dodger lifer. Do you think he's going anywhere but LA now that they're the class of professional sports? I suspect they'll sign him once you can place guys on the 60 day IL.

Haven't seen those rumors, but I believe them. The Dodgers are an unprecedented machine. Meanwhile AA has probably been hamstrung by ownership. They are proving to be bean counters.

And now the Dodgers have signed Tanner Scott. They are gunning for the Ws record and a dynasty. If there is anyone else they can sign and/or trade for, they will do it. Arenado? Another OF? Maybe Bichette and move Betts to 2nd or the OF? This is crazy. Just crazy.

It's crazy to think they traded Yordan Alvarez.

The Dodgers also have 2 top 10 prospects in all of baseball. And they both play their weakest position- OF.

Agreed- that would be a lackluster move. I bet they get Murakami next year, even though his production has tailed off a bit in Japan.

https://x.com/katiejwoo/status/1880670527993549005?s=46&t=swz6_vNVaqGgJ3z86G835w Arenado wants to be a Dodger. I would not be surprised if they got him, put Muncy at 2nd, and made Kim a utility man.
