DirtySox Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 As Chicagoan who moved to the Socal area 3 years ago, I wouldn't want to live in LA either. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor and Keke at least help balance that out since Pederson and Muncy are more platoon players it seems. Hopefully they sign Pollock though.

fathom Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I’ve thought about the righty batter angle with them, but they already have Freese, Turner, Kike, Taylor and Barnes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't talking about loaning, I just mean even if Harper/Machado don't sign with us, we could theoretically do this all over again soon if one of them gets an early opt-out and uses it.

timbo8 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 If dodgers want kluber and pollock then where would Harper go if the Phillies are focus on machado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan49 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 What a joke that tweet is. It’s Bryce f***ing Harper. His OPS was almost .900 last year against LHP’s. Who cares how he bats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I didn't even think about it but Bob is right in that respect. The Dodgers are extremely left handed heavy now, especially after trading Puig and Kemp. Pollock probably is the better fit for them right now and he would cost only a fraction of Harper.

JoshPR Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Would you overpay for Harper if its down to the phills and sox? Doesn't look like Harper has too many suitors. Would Harper move the masses in Chicago and get people to come out the park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it this way, Harper was trending on twitter yesterday for like 6 hours after the Dodgers move. He’s easily the biggest name in baseball IMO.

There’s no guarantee that RHH would get a hit against said loogy anyhow. It’s Bryce Harper. You don’t not sign him because of 2-3 PA’s in the playoffs against a “specialized loogy.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he ever seems to have *scoops* for is things that are positive for the Cubs. Never seems to have any sources that point to anything other than the Cubs have unlimited money, are going to make a huge splash, and everyone wants to play for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dodgers aren’t trying to legitimize themselves as players. They are trying to win the series they keep losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would overpay for Harper more than machado I personally care more about winning baseball game than nationwide coverage and publicity. Manny is a better baseball player and a better fit. If you can only have one, MM is the far better option. Of course both would be better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true they are lefty heavy but their bench consists of mostly right handed bats to platoon with them. Forgot about Freese even at 1B.
