The Free Agents

In getting Blake Snell, the Dodgers removed one of the main free agents from the board, but there are still plenty of others to consider. Some possibilities are longshots and others are more likely. Let’s consider a few: Roki Sasaki: Some people say that the Padres are the…

Why Juan Soto Will Be a Dodger

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…

Evaluating, Postering, and Negioation

Why haven’t the Dodgers just signed Teoscar Hernandez, Walker Buehler, Willy Adames, Juan Soto, Max Fried, or Matt Snell? I mean… not all of them… but maybe one… or three? Every year, the free agent market is different. This year, several teams are really in on Juan Soto, namely…

Justice, Injustice & MVP

In 1963, Sandy Koufax won his first Cy Young Award. In 1964, he finished 3rd in the Cy Young Award, and then in 1965 and 1966, he won the Cy Young Award again, which meant he won the Cy Young Award three out of four years . Dean Chance may have deserved to win, but Sandy was a…

The Dodgers Don't HAVE to do Anything!

The Dodgers could stand pat this offseason and still would be the odds-on favorites to win the World Series in 2025. I am not saying that should stand pat or even that they might stand pat. But, if they do, they will still be a damn good team. Let’s asume that the Dodgers stand…

Evolution, Not Revolution!

Andrew Friedman is not relly serious about Juan Soto, but h has to act as if he is so as to drive up the price to whoever signs him. It will take something North of $500 Million to sign Soto… maybe $600 to $700 Million. Who knows? The Dodgers might be in on him at $500 Million…
