We needed an additional thread for airing grievances? This is like complaining about your hair getting wet after jumping in the pool.

It's called manifesting.

I immediately rescind my Getz* comments if that happens. Edit: Accidentally put Cease

I tried to get the word filter to swap Tatis for Voldermort, so don't get your hopes up.

The Dodgers just spent $375M on a pitcher who has never thrown in MLB. $125M (and prospect capital) on a glass pitcher who can't sniff Cease's durability. If Dylan Cease's 2022 doesn't count, I'm not sure why Aaron Nola - who again, is 3 years older - gets to count his 2022. And just got $175M. Snell is an up and down pitcher with two ridiculous seasons under his belt. He's gonna get paid. In fact, the only two years he's thrown 180+ innings were his Cy Young seasons. Otherwise, it's minus 130, with ERAs ranging from 3.30 to 4+. Montgomery is gonna get paid off of one postseason run. I fail to see the argument for why Dylan Cease's market would be anything but a haul.

Tbh, Peacock might be the streaming service that my wife and I use most consistently + it being the cheapest actually makes it not that bad a service. It's user interface has made HUGE leaps since it first launched. Funnily enough, with password sharing being dropped (and thus my parents no longer using my account), Netflix might be the service that we ax due to its price hike once we get through our backlog.

Yamamoto hasn't had an MLB season like Dylan Cease and just got the richest deal for a pitcher in major league history. Shohei just had his second TJ and is way less durable and got $700M. I think the deal is worth it for his sheer star power. You like to knock Cease hard for 2023, where he was 18th in fWAR ahead of Corbin Burnes. He was 0.2 behind Nola, who just got $175M and is 3 years older. This is of course with the s%*# defense behind him. This video is kind of the perfect encapsulation of how the team failed him. Cease is gonna cost a team a lot in terms of prospects. Probably not as much as most people here are dreaming, but it's not going to be Clint Frazier and Miguel Andujar.

If the Dodgers decide to go for Cease after Shohei, Yamamoto and Glasnow, I cannot wait to hear the rest of baseball attempt to cry foul.

I think the difference here is that Friedman has been planning for this offseason, letting All-Stars to superstars walk from their team — Machado, Seager, Turner, Scherzer, Darvish, Bellinger, Joc — while building a sustainable farm. They still somehow won 100 games in their down year. Obviously the big knock is that postseason pitching has bee We mourn the infield that never was (in Chicago) of Tatis/Machado. If Friedman spent like Preller (with seemingly no foresight), he could have had Machado-Seager-Turner, but probably doesn't have the purse ready to go this offseason, when the Dodgers are still projected third in payroll and the Padres have to slash.

Sorry, let me respond with an argument you understand.

The Dodgers experienced 2023 Lance Lynn and committed more than $1.2 billion (and prospects) to three players. The White Sox did that and decided to rebuild.

Work will be fun tomorrow after endless banter between Red Sox and Yankees fans posturing that they were each OBVIOUSLY getting Yamamoto.

The Dodgers org learned what the rest of baseball should have: Hire Rays FO personnel, give them cash.

All 30 teams had a chance to win. The Dodgers won. It's not an asterisk like the Trash Can Astros. They're also consistently providing their fans with exciting baseball every season and going to the playoffs for a decade.

They both have championships in the past four years.

Suspiciously posting a photo of Luis ?

I'm guessing Getz has a "buy now" price set for Getz, much like the Rays did with Glasnow.

Blame the teams that aren't in on him for waiting. The Orioles and Reds aren't gonna sign him, so why wait to make moves? Because they aren't actually all-in on winning their divisions.

I mean, it's the offseason and of all jerseys, a Peavy jersey is super radom to see from a Gen Z superstar from LA. It does help reinforce the argument that deviating from the current jerseys/hats would be branding suicide.

Cannot imagine how validated Billy Donovan must feel.

yeah of all the things to get worked up about, this ain't it until pedro falls in love with him.

I think this would actually get me to believe that Jerry is trying to murder fan engagement in an effort to move the team.

Opens up MLB Top 100 Ctrl + F "Pirates" I will accept nothing less than savage Termarr Johnson, LHP Anthony Solometo and idk, Jackson Wolf + Estuar Suero

John Angelos has already come out and said he doesn't think he can afford to extend their current core. Angelos is just like JR. I'm mocking that paragraph for sounding like White Sox fluff the past few years.

John Angelos is ensuring that bright future remains bright by spending money!
