Wouldn't have Seager looked nice over at 3B for us. I always thought they would keep him over Bellinger. Turns out they moved on from both. Man, and isn't that Bochy a good manager! Turns out the lizard Dusty has never won a game 7 while Bochy has never lost one. Would have never thunk it. Was thinking what if the Dodgers make a play for Stanton. The word is the Yankees are going to go hard after Ohtani. With Judge, Stanton and Ohtani the Yankees would have an excess of DHs. The Dodgers wanted him a while ago. I don't want Muncy I rather have JD as the DH but if they want to go younger then make a play for Stanton. Miami pays $10 mil in '26, $10 mil in '27 and has an option his last year '28. He's at $32 mil in '24 & '25 so the Dodgers can ask the Yankees to pay $10+ mil to make it a good deal. That plus what Miami pays in the final two years. Rusty has shown time and time again that he’s simply not a “big game” manager. How he actually won last year remains a mystery other than the blind squirrel nut theory. He has had some of the best rosters and pitching in both leagues over the last couple of decades, including the Gnats, Cubs, Redlegs and Trashtros and just like our own Daisy, managed ALL of them to regular season 100 + W’s and then shit the bed come October. Bochy, on the other hand is in a position to join the elites like Alston, Stengel (5) Mack (7) and McCarthy (7) and pick up his FOURTH title with the Rangers. There were a LOT of people clamoring for Baker on the old board, but even as much as I dislike Daisy, I’d still take him over Baker. He should have retired last year on top. But I imagine he and his toothpicks will be back in the dugout again next year and he and Doc can continue to play the “who’s worse in October” game for years to come. GO DODGERS!!! |

Snell. I've also seen that they might be in the market for Lucas Giolito. Idk about that one. I'd rather pursue the Japanese starters. Japanese league still have those ridiculous posting fees? Not sure what it is. Is it international pool money, draft picks? |

No thanks on that one. It has and it seems like injuries is the bug that has bitten them, Judge as well, and pressure to play up to that contract. I figure you buy low and have some good bucks paid off by the Yankess and Marlins. With the way this team puts guys on IL stints from like having diarrhea  he can take his time and heal up. I remember JD pretty much being kicked in the ass in Houston and shown the door in Detroit even with good numbers but then being a stud in Boston. I don't think Stanton is washed up. I think he's a wounded puppy. Guy hit one over the LF Pavillion to the parking lot here. That's some stick to have in the lineup. Edit: Looked it up quickly. Seems like one healthy season and one semi- healthy season in the last 5 seasons. 2019: 18 games 2020: 23 games (COVID) 2021: 139 games 2022: 110 games 2023: 101 games |

I"m thinking we should stick with JD Martinez. He really did a great job in the second half. Showtime is tempting, but he won't be able to pitch for another year, though in the meantime, the docs said he could hit and he'd still be healing from TJ surgery. |

Japanese league still have those ridiculous posting fees? Not sure what it is. Is it international pool money, draft picks? We have a surplus of righty starters. Beuhler, Miller, Pepiot and Sheehan are all pretty good with Nick Frasso and River Ryan waiting in the wings. Yamamoto looks great but he's another righty. There has to be a great Japanese lefty starter! I like Ranger Suarez of the Horsies, but no way they'll trade him away, just like the Beer Drinkers will never trade Corbin. A lefty starter has to be our #1 priority this winter. |

Lance Lynn:
“At least he’s durable, though. That alone might be worth $18 million to the Dodgers next season, unless they are confident Kershaw will return and/or they know they can land some multiple-pitcher combination of Aaron Nola, Blake Snell, Jordan Montgomery, Sonny Gray and Yoshinobu Yamamoto in free agency. Verdict: Los Angeles exercises the club option”
Per Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report

Nobody has ever done that shit before. Dump him ASAP! |

I was thinking in case they want to push Muncy on us as the DH. Muncy should be chalked up as a W for where the team was at that time and place. It's time to move from him! And, the more I think of it the more I rather them get a couple of starting pitchers and another bat than just Ohtani. The starters are out there but I don't see the bat other than Cody Bellinger. |

A lefty starter has to be our #1 priority this winter. There's three good ones to pick from without having to trade anything: 1. Blake Snell 2. Jordan Montgomery 3. Shota Imanaga- whose team The Yokohama DeNA BayStars will post It's going to take some money but they're out there to be had. Let's see how serious Friedman was when he said they would be going after top starters. |

Pretty alarming report.
But, what really caught my attention is that people are speculating that the Dodgers might do the following:
"and/or they know they can land some multiple-pitcher combination of Aaron Nola, Blake Snell, Jordan Montgomery, Sonny Gray and Yoshinobu Yamamoto in free agency."

I'd prefer to go with Montgomery & the Japanese pitcher. Just curious how much the posting fee will be. Tanaka's team used him up in their World Series before the Yankees got him. Wasn't the posting fee like 50 million dollars? |

My mistake. It was 20 million dollars. Who was 50 million? Someone was.

www.mlb.com/glossary/transactions/japanese-posting-systemJapanese Posting System Definition Players from Japan's top league -- Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) -- who do not have the requisite nine years of professional experience to gain international free agency can request to be "posted" for Major League clubs. Under posting rules that were instituted in the 2018-19 offseason, the "release fee" -- an amount that an NPB club must receive in the event an agreement is reached between a posted player and a Major League club -- depends on the guaranteed value of the contract a posted player signs with a Major League club. All 30 MLB clubs have 45 days to negotiate with a player after he is posted. If no agreement is reached in that timeframe, the player returns to his NPB club for the coming season. He cannot be posted again until the following offseason. Previously, Japanese clubs set a release fee that could be as high as $20 million. Any MLB club that was willing to meet the designated release fee could negotiate with the player for 30 days after the player was posted, but only the club with which the player signed had to pay that release fee. Now, the release fee is determined as follows: • For Major League contracts with a total guaranteed value of $25 million or less, the release fee will be 20 percent of the total guaranteed value of the contract. • For Major League contracts with a total guaranteed value between $25,000,001 and $50 million, the release fee will be 20 percent of the first $25 million plus 17.5 percent of the total guaranteed value exceeding $25 million. • For Major League contracts with a total guaranteed value of $50,000,001 or more, the release fee will be 20 percent of the first $25 million plus 17.5 percent of next $25 million plus 15 percent of the total guaranteed value exceeding $50 million. • For all Minor League contracts, the release fee will be 25 percent of the signing bonus. For Minor League contracts that contain Major League terms, a supplemental fee will be owed if the player is added to the 25-man roster. • If a posted player signs a Major League contract that contains bonuses, salary escalators or options, a Japanese team may receive a supplemental fee equal to 15 percent of any bonus or salary escalators actually earned by the player, and/or 15 percent of any option that is exercised. So if a player signs a Major League contract with a guaranteed value of $100 million, his Japanese team would receive roughly $16.9 million ($5 million for the first $25 million, $4.4 million for the second $25 million and $7.5 million for the final $50 million). The caveat of the posting system is that foreign-born players are subject to international bonus pool money restrictions unless they are at least 25 years of age and have played as a professional in a foreign league recognized by Major League Baseball for a minimum of six seasons. Under the 2017-21 Collective Bargaining Agreement, each Major League club has a cap between $4.75 million and $5.75 million to spend on the non-exempt foreign-born player pool. Clubs will be able to acquire up to 75 percent of their initial international bonus pool money in the 2017-18 and 2018-19 signing periods and up to 60 percent of their initial pools in subsequent signing periods. This means that a club with an initial pool of $5.75 million can increase its pool total via trade to approximately $10.1 million during the 2017-18 and 2018-19 signing periods.

he can take his time and heal up. I remember JD pretty much being kicked in the ass in Houston and shown the door in Detroit even with good numbers but then being a stud in Boston. I don't think Stanton is washed up. I think he's a wounded puppy. Guy hit one over the LF Pavillion to the parking lot here. That's some stick to have in the lineup.
