Like I said . . . it's a Dodger Blue World.
They are the early 2000s Yankees with an early 2010s Rays front office.
Going to be extremely tough to compete against.
I wouldn't be shocked if they signed Tanner Scott.
An extra $2-3 million is potentially nothing when you factor in the endorsements he'd get in LA, and the long-term coaching and guidance that would allow him to cash in on a mega second contract.
Who knows what he's thinking.
I'd still be shocked if he picked Toronto.
Yes. The Padres appear to be out.

I'd expect Sasaki news today.
Blake Snell has 2 Cy Youngs.
Glasnow has a sub-3 FIP 5 of the past 6 years.
Ohtani may well be the GOAT overall player and has a career FIP of 3.3.
You are sounding like a homer.
Yeah.
Yamamoto is clearly an upper echelon pitcher. He posted a 2.61 FIP last year.
One of the best curveballs in the game with a solid fastball and splitter and he has great command (6% BB).
Sasaki is being billed as better than him and even Ohtani (as a pitcher) from the viewers/scouts...
Ohtani-Yamamoto-Snell-Glasnow-Sasaki is literally 5 aces in their prime if they're healthy.
Sale-Strider-Cease-Lopez-Schwellenbach is very good but I think we'd need the offensive edge.
No team has ever won 120, so it would be a stupid bet.
I didn't say I thought they would win that many, nor that I want them to (I'm obviously a Braves fan)
I think that is their goal- to have a dynasty and break the Ws record.
I think they get around 110.
It's a Dodger Blue world.
A rotation of Ohtani, Yamamoto, Snell, Glasnow, and Sasaki (and whomever else- Gonsolin, Knack, May, et al) is generational- maybe all-time.
They are trying to win 125.
