2025-2026 offseason thread

I mean that’s why the Dodgers are where they are with their pitching. They didn’t have to go out and sign Snell, but they did. Hell the word at the winter meetings was they were talking about trade for Skubal.

Which brings us right back to: if the Braves sign anyone it’s bad because the dodgers didn’t beat their price. Can’t possibly be good.

You guys are truly so stupid sometimes

I don't agree with that. I just think the dodgers will get who they want from Japan.
 
Even the Dodgers have a limit on what they can spend. No one can hemorrhage that sort of money forever.

They are honestly really lucky they have hit on literally all of these expensive contracts. I think I read where, since 2010 around only 35% of players that sign FA contracts at 5 years or more, go on to post more than 10 fWAR over the life of contract. Yet the Dodgers have hit on every FA and even the guys they gave massive extensions to (so far).

Certainly could be the case. Just seems like they'd make a point to get any impact guy from Japan if for no other reason that to keep all eyes on them from Japan.

If we want the guy, I want em too though. Hopefully he succeeds and we get in that pipeline

Well then, I hope we get some news that keeps you “snorted six crushed-up viagras” rock hard, and UNC’s James Worthy Underoos crusty- both for a month. And I’m not talking about Cy’s Mom either.
 
I trust AA. They saw something in Sale and he's been mostly healthy here (the dive for the ball was Snits fault for leaving him in to long). If they could keep it at 5 years and around 20-23 per would be great. The battery is already a cash cow but you tap into the Japanese market and sky's the limit for the team.

If the astros like him, he's probably worth pursuing

What I like about Imai is you see a pretty linear growth. Walks per 9 the last 4 years. 5.13, 4.13, 3.63, and 2.47. Thats a giant green flag to me. Its not just his command improving its learning how to finish off hitters. His K rate went up as his walk rate nosedived. So I dont know if he will hit the ground running but I think he has the ability to still improve.
