Scott Borass was Blake Snells agent, so we can no longer say that the Dodgers won’t do buisness with Borass, I also believe Juan Soto will be willing to defer money… and that he will soon be a Dodger. Consider this:
Since 2019, only Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts and Marcus Simien have scored more runs that Juan Soto and only Aaron Judge has more WAR. The thing is: all of those players are in their 30’s and Soto just turned 26. If the Dodgers sign Soto, their Star Power is second to none. They have the money to spend and I believe they have a ten-year plan. When Walter and Guggenheim Partners bought the Dodgers they paid what was an steep number for the Dodgers: $2.1 Billion Dollars. As of today, Forbes ranks the Dodgers worth $5.45 Billion Dollars!
I believe that Guggenheim and Walter have a good ten-year run left before they sell the team… and, rest assured… they will sell it, but if they keep winning and adding a few more World Series Championships, they could sell it for $10+ Billion. That’s a nice return on investment, but that is a long way away!
In the meantime, the team is getting older. Freeman, Betts, Rojas, and Muncy are in their mid-thirties and Ohtani will be 31 in July. To put this in perspective, James Outman is a year older than Juan Soto, while Andy Pages is a year younger. In the next six years, Juan Soto could very well become the best player in baseball… and he has not yet entered his prime. If the Dodgers sign him, he will hit his 500th HR as a Dodger and get his 3,000th hit as a Dodger and go into the Hall of Fame as a Dodger. This is a once in a generation player. In a lineup of Free-Swinging High Strikeout players who have an average strikeout percentage of 25% to 33%, he sat at a 16% strikeout average last season.
Juan Soto will make the Dodgers lineup devesating and Scott Borass knows that the Dodgers under Andrew Friedman are poised to keep winning for the next 10 years. The Dodgers are a juggernaut and Guggenheim will spend the money to drive the value of their investment through the roof. The Dodgers brand is one of the best… if not the best in all sports.
Some say that Juan Soto is not a great fielder or a great baserunner. I think he is a professional and being toutored by Mookie Betts, Dino Ebal, Chris Woodward, Freddie Freeman and Max Muncy will help him elevate his game even more
Juan Soto: Future Dodger! I like that sound. Get ‘er done, Andrew!
Blake Snell
I was surprised that AF signed Snell to such a big deal, but I guarantee you that they did it because Mark Prior and Conner McGinnis believe that they can help him become an even better pitcher. These guys aren’t messing around.
This ain’t even fair:
- Shohei Ohtani
- Tyler Glasnow
- Yoshinobu Yamamoto
- Blake Snell
- Clayton Kershaw
- Tony Gonsolin
- Dustin May
- Bobby Miller
- Emmett Sheehan
- Justin Wrobleski
- Nick Frasso
- Gavin Stone
- River Ryan
- Kyle Hurt
- Jackson Ferris
Update:
I asked ChatGPT to compare Juan Soto to other Superstars at age 26. Here’s the answer:
Certainly! Let’s revisit Juan Soto’s career after the 2024 MLB season to see how he stacks up against other all-time greats at the same age. We’ll look at his stats up through the 2024 season and compare them to other superstars at that point in their careers.
Juan Soto’s Career through 2024
As of the conclusion of the 2024 season, Soto will be 26 years old, and his career achievements will include:
- Batting Average: .287 (through 2024)
- Home Runs: 145 (2024 season totals included)
- RBIs: 460
- On-Base Percentage (OBP): .426
- Slugging Percentage (SLG): .530
- OPS: .956
- Walks: 680 (continues to lead MLB in walks)
Notable achievements:
- World Series Champion: Won with the Washington Nationals in 2019.
- All-Star Appearances: Multiple (several as of 2024).
- Silver Slugger Awards: Several.
- NL Batting Title: 2020 (.351 average).
- Top 5 in MVP voting: Multiple times.
- Youngest player to hit 100 home runs: Achieved at 21 years old.
- Elite Plate Discipline: Continues to dominate with one of the best OBPs in MLB.
Comparison to Other Superstars at Age 26 (Post-2024)
Let’s compare Juan Soto’s stats to other iconic superstars at the same age, considering the additional context of the 2024 season.
1. Mike Trout
- Career Stats through Age 26:
- Batting Average: .305
- Home Runs: 240
- RBIs: 648
- On-Base Percentage (OBP): .419
- Slugging Percentage (SLG): .581
- OPS: .999
- MVP Awards: 3 (2014, 2016, 2019)
Comparison to Soto:
- Trout’s numbers through age 26 are elite, particularly in power (240 HRs). Soto is behind in power but has a significantly higher walk rate and OBP, making him one of the best at getting on base in MLB history. In terms of overall value, Soto’s plate discipline gives him a unique edge. However, Trout’s more consistent power numbers, MVP awards, and all-around contribution make him one of the most complete players in MLB history at this point in his career.
2. Bryce Harper
- Career Stats through Age 26:
- Batting Average: .279
- Home Runs: 184
- RBIs: 521
- OBP: .388
- Slugging: .514
- OPS: .902
- MVP Award: 1 (2015)
Comparison to Soto:
- Bryce Harper’s career at 26 shows solid power and an MVP award, but Soto’s plate discipline (OBP of .426) is better, and his OPS (.956) is higher. Soto’s overall offensive game is slightly more refined due to his approach at the plate. Harper had more home runs and a few more total bases at this point, but Soto’s combination of OBP and power is setting him apart in a slightly different category of hitter.
3. Ted Williams
- Career Stats through Age 26:
- Batting Average: .344
- Home Runs: 182
- RBIs: 760
- OBP: .482
- Slugging: .633
- OPS: 1.115
- MVP Awards: 2 (1946, 1949)
Comparison to Soto:
- Ted Williams is often regarded as one of the greatest pure hitters in baseball history, and his numbers through age 26 were extraordinary, particularly his OBP of .482 and OPS of 1.115, which are all-time elite. While Soto’s OBP is impressive, it still trails Williams significantly. However, Soto’s approach to working the count and his future trajectory in terms of power and consistency means he could move closer to Williams’ level as his career develops. Williams’ numbers came in a very different era, so context matters, but Soto’s combination of patience and power is starting to draw some parallels.
4. Babe Ruth
- Career Stats through Age 26:
- Batting Average: .313
- Home Runs: 223
- RBIs: 722
- OBP: .467
- Slugging: .690
- OPS: 1.157
- MVP Awards: None (The MVP did not exist during his career)
Comparison to Soto:
- Babe Ruth’s power and OPS were on another level, with 223 home runs and an OPS of 1.157 at age 26, which is a historical benchmark. Soto, while strong, isn’t yet at Ruth’s level in terms of pure power, but he excels in plate discipline, something Ruth was not as known for. Comparing players across eras is difficult, but Soto’s OBP and OPS, while impressive, do not yet match the Ruthian level of dominance at age 26. However, Soto’s continued development could close the gap in terms of overall offensive production in future years.
5. Ken Griffey Jr.
- Career Stats through Age 26:
- Batting Average: .296
- Home Runs: 227
- RBIs: 669
- OBP: .374
- Slugging: .558
- OPS: .932
- MVP Award: 1 (1997)
Comparison to Soto:
- Griffey was known for his incredible power and smooth swing. Through age 26, he had more home runs than Soto, but Soto’s OBP (.426) is higher, and his OPS (.956) outpaces Griffey’s. Griffey had a more all-around game, contributing with speed and power, but Soto’s plate discipline and ability to get on base are exceptional. Griffey’s power numbers were a bit more impressive early on, but Soto’s approach and future potential are shaping up to be just as impactful.
Conclusion: Where Soto Stands Post-2024
After the 2024 season, Soto is firmly among the elite hitters in baseball, particularly with his plate discipline, on-base skills, and ability to combine power with patience. His .426 OBP and .956 OPS are elite, and his potential for future growth in power and consistency makes him one of the most exciting young hitters in baseball.
Compared to historical players:
- Mike Trout and Ted Williams stand out in terms of all-around dominance, with Trout having more raw power at this point and Williams’ on-base prowess still unmatched.
- Babe Ruth and Ken Griffey Jr. had more raw power in their early years, but Soto’s plate discipline gives him an edge in modern baseball.
- Bryce Harper, while similar in terms of overall talent, has fewer accolades and power at this stage compared to Soto, who is becoming one of the best on-base machines in history.
In summary, Soto is on track to potentially surpass many of these legends in certain aspects of the game, especially with his on-base abilities and potential for more power as he enters his late 20s. His trajectory suggests he could eventually join the ranks of the greatest players in MLB history, particularly if his power numbers continue to climb.

Let’s compare Juan Soto to other baseball superstars at age 26 after the 2024 season, based on his career accomplishments, statistics, and achievements through the conclusion of the 2024 season. We’ll evaluate him against other all-time greats like Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, Ted Williams, Babe Ruth, and Ken Griffey Jr. at the same point in their careers.
Juan Soto’s Career through 2024
By the end of the 2024 season, Juan Soto will be 26 years old and has built an impressive career with the following key statistics:
- Batting Average: .288
- Home Runs: 201
- RBIs: 592
- On-Base Percentage (OBP): .426
- Slugging Percentage (SLG): .530
- OPS: .956
- Walks: 680
- Hits: Over 1,000 (approaching 1,200 hits)
- All-Star Selections: Multiple
- Silver Slugger Awards: Several
- World Series: Won in 2019 with the Washington Nationals
- Notable Achievements: Known for exceptional plate discipline, elite OBP, high walk rate, and power potential.
Comparison to Other Superstars at Age 26 (Post-2024)
1. Mike Trout
- Career Stats through Age 26:
- Batting Average: .305
- Home Runs: 240
- RBIs: 648
- OBP: .419
- Slugging: .581
- OPS: .999
- MVP Awards: 3 (2014, 2016, 2019)
- All-Star Selections: 7+
Comparison to Soto:
- Mike Trout at age 26 had a remarkable combination of power, plate discipline, and base-running ability. His 240 home runs and OPS of nearly 1.000 put him ahead of Soto in terms of raw power, but Soto’s OBP (.426) is slightly better than Trout’s (.419). Soto’s plate discipline (as shown by his walk rate) is arguably more advanced, though Trout’s total value (due to his complete game—power, defense, baserunning, and leadership) gives him the edge.
- Conclusion: While Soto has the edge in on-base skills, Trout’s more complete and dynamic game (including speed) keeps him ahead at this point.
2. Bryce Harper
- Career Stats through Age 26:
- Batting Average: .279
- Home Runs: 184
- RBIs: 521
- OBP: .388
- Slugging: .514
- OPS: .902
- MVP Award: 1 (2015)
- All-Star Selections: 6+
Comparison to Soto:
- Bryce Harper had a similar career trajectory to Soto, with lots of power and plate discipline. However, Soto’s OBP of .426 significantly surpasses Harper’s .388, and Soto’s OPS of .956 is also higher than Harper’s .902 at the same age. Harper was a more explosive power hitter early on, while Soto’s game is more well-rounded with a better ability to get on base.
- Conclusion: Soto has the edge in offensive consistency and on-base skills, though Harper had slightly more home runs at this stage and an MVP award.
3. Ted Williams
- Career Stats through Age 26:
- Batting Average: .344
- Home Runs: 182
- RBIs: 760
- OBP: .482
- Slugging: .633
- OPS: 1.115
- MVP Awards: 2 (1946, 1949)
Comparison to Soto:
- Ted Williams is one of the greatest pure hitters in history. His OBP through age 26 (.482) is unparalleled and far exceeds Soto’s .426. His OPS of 1.115 at age 26 is also superior to Soto’s .956. Williams’ power was incredible, and his plate discipline made him a force to be reckoned with, even in an era with different pitching styles.
- Conclusion: Williams is a tough comparison because of his almost unmatched on-base and hitting ability. While Soto’s plate discipline and power are extraordinary, Williams’ numbers at age 26 remain historically exceptional.
4. Babe Ruth
- Career Stats through Age 26:
- Batting Average: .313
- Home Runs: 223
- RBIs: 722
- OBP: .467
- Slugging: .690
- OPS: 1.157
- MVP Awards: None (the MVP did not exist during his time)
Comparison to Soto:
- Babe Ruth at age 26 was already dominating baseball with a .690 slugging percentage and 1.157 OPS, which are far above Soto’s .530 and .956, respectively. Ruth’s power is legendary, and his offensive numbers, even by today’s standards, are staggering. Ruth’s combination of power and slugging was ahead of everyone at the time, and his statistics remain some of the best in MLB history.
- Conclusion: Ruth’s power and OPS far exceed Soto’s, but Soto’s advanced approach at the plate and potential growth could bring him closer to Ruth’s level as he continues to develop.
5. Ken Griffey Jr.
- Career Stats through Age 26:
- Batting Average: .296
- Home Runs: 227
- RBIs: 669
- OBP: .374
- Slugging: .558
- OPS: .932
- MVP Award: 1 (1997)
- All-Star Selections: 7+
Comparison to Soto:
- Ken Griffey Jr. was a dynamic player, excelling both offensively and defensively. His 227 home runs at age 26 were a clear advantage over Soto’s 145. Griffey’s OBP of .374 is lower than Soto’s .426, and his OPS of .932 is also behind Soto’s .956. Soto has the edge in plate discipline and on-base skills, but Griffey had the superior combination of power and speed at this age.
- Conclusion: Soto’s OBP and approach make him slightly more consistent than Griffey at this point, but Griffey’s home run power was unmatched.
Conclusion: Soto’s Standing at Age 26 (Post-2024)
After the 2024 season, Juan Soto is firmly among the elite hitters in MLB history, particularly in terms of his on-base skills, plate discipline, and overall offensive production. However, he’s still behind a few legends in specific categories such as home runs and slugging.
- Mike Trout still has the edge in terms of overall contributions, with more power, speed, and MVP awards at this stage.
- Ted Williams and Babe Ruth are difficult to compare directly due to the historical differences in their eras, but their dominance at age 26 remains unparalleled in terms of on-base skills and power.
- Bryce Harper and Ken Griffey Jr. both had more home runs at age 26 but didn’t quite match Soto’s combination of on-base consistency and overall offensive value.
Overall, Soto’s ability to get on base and his elite plate discipline make him one of the top players in baseball history at this stage. If his power numbers continue to improve, he could eventually rival or surpass many of these legends. At age 26, Soto is on a trajectory that could lead him to a Hall-of-Fame career, with his advanced hitting approach setting him apart from many of his peers.
Mark, I’ll bet you a bottle of your favorite wine or liquor that Soto will NOT be a Dodger. I don’t drink so come up with something comparable. The meeting with Soto was all a show to bring up the price and let other teams know the Dodgers are involved,nothing else.
Pretty much nailed it Andrew.
Yeah, I don’t see Soto in Dodger blue, especially with both the Yankees and Mets in a bidding war, with the Red Sox and Blue Jays lurking.
If I was AF, I’d want Soto at my price, not his. The age-26 comparison to Trout is a cautionary tale. I wonder also how Soto would have compared to Pujols at the same age. Injuries happen, perhaps more so now than in the past when it seemed that guys like Ted Williams and Mays and Aaron were so durable.
From what I’ve read, AF and Associates identified Snell as their No.1 target. Last year, it was Ohtani No. 1 and Yamamoto No. 2, with Teo brought in on the one-year deal.
So who is AF’s No. 2 target now this winter?
I hope it’s Teo. But if Teo seeks a greener paycheck elsewhere, I’d like to see a pivot to Adames. If both take other deals, then perhaps target Robert in a trade. (Seems like there is a shortage of Dodger-quality position players on the market.)
Not a top priority, but I’d still like to see AF bring back Buehler. Rooting for him no matter where he signs.
i snell, excuse me, i smell a trade coming! as far as we know, Glasnow will be ready for spring training. Yamamoto will be ready. Snell will be ready. Ohthani? close? Gonsolin will be ready. Knack? i believe they hang on to him. May? bullpen i believe as you do Mark. Clayton? later in the season. That leaves Bobby Miller. i don’t think he needs more time in the minors. But I’m not sure how he fits in the dodgers plans. The Bobby Millrr from 2023? Absolutely!! Can you imagine what that starting rotation would look like with Miller a 5 or 6? But more than likely somebody has to go somewhere! Could they trade Gonsolin and hang on to Miller? The white sox said they don’t want pitching in return for trades. Crochet ain’t coming to LA now! BUT, Robert could! I guess we have to wait and see what happens with Soto. i’m still not convinced he comes to LA. i could be wrong! i was was A long time ago, i think i was wrong, maybe i’m mistaken. i would like an outfield of Teo in left. Robert in center. Pages in right. With that i could live without Adames. Edman and rojas manning SS. And either of the two moving over to 3rd when a tough lefty is on the mound. Resign Kike and Trienan and let’s roll!! Happy thanksgiving everyone! We dodger fans just got one of many early Christmas presents last night!!
Ill take Buehler and Treinen and Teo and Kike over Soto….
In about two to three years, Shohei, Mookie and Freddie are going to start showing their ages… and Max will be gone. Decline and/or injury are inevitable.
Soto keeps them younger and relevant. I do not trust Robert, Jr.
Sign Soto and Treinen and trade Lux, and they are done.
1. Ohtani DH
2. Betts 2B
3. Soto LF
4. Freeman 1B
5. Smith C
6. Muncy 3B
7. Edman CF
8. Pages RF
9. Rojas/Freeland SS
Update above
Overall, I don’t think some fans really understand how special Juan Soto is.
Just the thought makes my Thanksgiving better. We don’t need Adames. Freeland is six years younger with Rojas to be there to guide him. Freeland might not be ready but he might be time to find out and it’s not like we don’t have people to fill in at short if Freeland stumbles. In my mind if we sign Teo to a two year high seasonal contract the Dodgers will be far the best team in baseball and possibly in the history of baseball (might be a tad of hyperbole.) What sucks we might get all these players and still not win the World Series. We would win over 100 games but sometimes those baseball Gods can play cruel games.
Happy thanksgiving!! My grandkids will be here and there isn’t nothing more important than family even the Dodgers rank below family but if we get Soto I might have to reconsider .
Start DePaula at OKC. If he handles it bring him up to play CF. That would be fun.
DePaula will never play CF. He will be lucky to play LF, but I think he ends up at 1B, taking over for Freddie. He is not fleet of foot. He may start at Tulsa.
Damn it
“However, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Dodgers are not actually in serious contention to land Soto. Nightengale reported that the Yankees, Mets, Blue Jays, and Red Sox are the only four teams with real chances of signing Soto.
“The Los Angeles Dodgers just won a World Series without Soto, and it wasn’t much of an inconvenience to drive through traffic across town, and meet with Soto and agent Scott Boras,” Nightengale wrote. “The meeting helps perhaps drives the price up for Soto, and even more important, puts a little pressure on outfielder Teoscar Hernandez into re-signing with them.”
Soto reportedly prefers the East Coast to the West Coast, which is why it makes sense that he would sign with one of these Eastern-based teams”.
Mark. Great article. Right on the money.
Our opinions on who we sign mean nothing. Whether we sign him or not means everything. I for one would be ecstatic if we sign him. Best laid plans. Snell, I’m pumped, great sign. I didn’t see that one coming. But Soto is quite possibly a legend in the making.
Happy Thanksgiving,
To the LADT family you are awesome!
Book em
Honestly Mark, you make a great case for Soto.
But it’s a lot of money, even in the MLB universe.
I had no doubt the Dodgers were going to sign Ohtani.
Not sure the Dodgers will actually pursue Soto. They may dance around and even make a softball offer. Think Bryce Harper. No doubt for the right price, the Dodgers would become serious.
Not sure what happens with Walker Buehler or even Teoscar Hernandez.
Maybe Andrew Friedman has figured out he can find a couple of trade partners and pick up a really good young outfielder. The Dodgers certainly have young players that other teams desire.
All that said, you can’t count the Dodgers out.
Good article today in USA Today how the Dodgers have become the evil empire. They had a lot of help from the Red Sox, Braves, Giants and other teams.
I don’t think we will land Soto. Especially after the Snell signing. I think it’s a mistake to think this is just about if Soto makes sense on the Dodgers. Of course he does! He makes sense on any team. It’s not often a generational talent enters free agency at such a young age. Dodgers wanting Soto in the lineup goes without saying.
Both NY teams are going to push very hard. And both have the capability to win a ring. Dodgers might still be the odds on favorite. But the Yankees got there this year. And the Mets with Soto in the lineup (and a billionaire owner who answers to nobody) will have as good a shot at winning as anybody. It really comes down to where he wants to play. He will get paid, regardless where he goes. I was dead wrong about the Dodgers signing Ohtani. But I hadn’t even conceived of the possibility that Ohtani wanted to play in LA to the point where he would defer almost his entire salary. Snell also excepted a sizable deferral in his contract. He obviously wanted to be a Dodger as well.
If Soto really wants the best chance to win in the next two years, maybe LA is his choice. And he will make a deal work (like Ohtani). If his priority is so max out his contract without deferrals, he will have that option too. I don’t think Cohen would give a second thought to a 12 year $600m deal with no deferred money. Whatever the luxury tax hit he will eat going forward is literally pocket change to that guy. And he has no investors to answer to. He knows a WS win would increase the value of the team by 30%-50%. And this ownership thing is basically a retirement hobby for the guy. And the Mets made the playoffs in a year where they literally weren’t trying. If the Mets landed Soto Cohen would make some additional big moves.
Additionally, Soto on the Mets would instantly make him the face of the franchise. Lindor is a superstar and Alonso is a former MVP, but they are not Soto. If Soto wants to blaze a path as the face of the franchise and potentially be considered the greatest player in a franchise’s history…. The Mets are the only one that can off that. The Mets are not the Dodgers or Yankees. Yankees have Judge and the Dodgers have Ohtani. Soto will never eclipse them for pure star power in those cities right now. And certainly not all time. Soto would instantly become one of the if not THE greatest player in Mets franchise history. Mets only have two players in the HOF with a met cap. Piazza and Tom Seaver. If ego and/or legacy is important to Soto, the Mets are the only ones who can offer that. And my instinct with Soto is that the guy has a pretty big ego. The Dodgers just beat him in 5 games. He may also have an ax to grind. Who knows. If I’m wrong, and winning is the only thing that matters; deferrals and being face of the franchise be damned. Dodgers have a shot.
Then there is East coast West coast preference. Soto played in San Diego, DC and New York. Im sure he has a preference. What that is is anybody’s guess. Boras certainly isn’t going to let that out. Nobody new Cole wanted to be a Yankee and ONLY a Yankee until the ink dried on his contract.
No question the Dodgers would want Soto. Every team wants Soto. But I still tend to think he will be a Met.
I was dead wrong about Ohtani (and I’m very happy I was). Lets see if I’m wrong about this one too.
BTW, I was also DEAD wrong about Ohtani, but almost everyone knew Cole pined to be a Yankee!!
We hear that Soto would prefer to play on the East Coast, BUT we also hear he woulo like to play with Ohtani. Actually, we more than “hear” that. He actually said it!
We keep hearing from Soto’s camp that winning is a priority to him.
After an extensive and thorough analysis of the facts presented, I have concluded that:
Ohtani + winning = Dodgers
My math checks out 🙂
The Dodgers HAVE to get younger. Teoscar does not make that happen.
…and that’s the biggest concern about Teoscar. His age.
Love the chemistry he brings. His attitude. His production in the middle of the lineup. Tons of positive intangibles. But a long term deal is great for him, just not the team.
Teo deserves a long term
deal. He earned it this year. But in two years, the Dodgers will be staring at some
contracts that will be real tough to swallow. Freddie will be 37, in his final year, Mookie, 34 with another 6 years to go. Even Ohtani will be 33 with another 8 years remaining. With Teoscar in that group (he’ll be 34) and we have a real old team.
You add Soto to that mix and he’ll be 28 in his absolute prime. It just makes the ball club so much younger and vital.
I won’t be upset if Teoscar returns. He was really a super addition in 2024, I’m just very open to the idea of Juan Soto coming in ahead of him. He’s a great hitter and a selective one at that. A rare commodity in the game today. Yeah, his antics at the plate are annoying and a bit much for me, but that’s the old codger in me surfacing.
Soto’s age provides security and continuity. The Dodgers have to get young and I’m sure Dodger brass is not only looking at the immediate return but the future one as well. I would venture to say that Soto’s future value is greater than his current value.
WTF
Why do they have to?
And what does that trope even mean?
They have to get younger when? Next year? Before the team is sold? At which positions?
Do their starters “have” to be younger? Their relievers?
What kind of silly, incomplete statement was that??!?!??
I find it interesting that the same folks that speak with certainty that the Dodgers will not sign Soto are likely the same crowd that said Friedman would not sign Ohtani. Heck, did anyone guess 72 hours ago that Snell would become a Dodger? I certainly didn’t see that one coming. So, how in the heck can anyone state with certainty that the LAD will not sign Soto?
If the Dodgers made an offer, personally I’m taking the wait and see approach. Quite frankly, with a bit of hope sprinkled in between.
The “same folks” means who?
What was your position on Ohtani before he was signed? What about Snell? How do you feel about Soto?
So, “same folks” means “Bluto”?
In that case, you are totally wrong.
I knew Ohtani would sign with the Dodgers. I know Soto won’t.
Folks = those whose response would be a negative one to all the questions.
Dude …. don’t you have a dog you can kick around?
Happy Thanksgiving!
Book em
Happy Thanksgiving to all you Dodger faithful fans.
Happy Healthy Thanksgiving to all the Dodgers fans and their families !!! A lot to be thankful in 2024 and beyond.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!
Although, at times life may appear difficult and overwhelming, it is important to take a moment to acknowledge the blessings around us; i.e. freedoms that some in other countries do not enjoy, the Dodgers winning a WS, friends and/or family around us who care for us regardless of our quirks, a God who loves us (John 3:16) in spite of our imperfections, etc.
