Official 2018 Los Angeles Dodgers Thread : Game 4

[ooiron manoo]

Friedman and Co. just picked up Nicasio, so looks like the focus is the bullpen.

Minor moves, but important moves. Peralta pick up was good, he's reliable. Dominguez could light up the gun but could never put it together.

Winter meetings are going to be interesting.

Hopefully they can unload Crawford and/or Ethier, but that is a hail mary.

Kemp and Gordon have value so I could see them moved. I'm indifferent with Gordon, poor man's Juan Pierre, no gracias.

 

[Los Angeles]

Sad to see Hanley go, great in the clubhouse and great on the field, when he played.

Sucks he couldnt stay healthy.

Liking these moves so far with the bullpen.

Cant wait to see more ...

 

[Benny Hinn]

If Ned was still running things he'd trade for Panda and Hanley in 2 years and the Red Sox would immediately win a WS

 

[ooiron manoo]

That was one time...


What Ned would do is throw three year deals at relief pitchers like Sergio Romo, for $20-$25 million. That's a Ned move.

 

[Benny Hinn]

Does new crew keep Kershaw happy or let soft hitting AJ go today?

 

[ooiron manoo]

They are going to non-tender him since he is not worth the $3.5-4 mil he will be awarded. No one is going to be jumping for joy that he is available, so he will be resigned to be a backup at $1-1.5 million. Kershaw could give him the rest for services rendered, Ellis is lucky he'll get more than the minimum.

Good clubhouse guy, no offense and defensive metrics don't like him. Pretty much an extra bench coach, cause he sucks.

Lester

Depending on the years/money, could be a good pick up. When can Greinke opt out? After next year?

Yeah, after 2015. They already reported that he will not be shopped.

 

[lovehateself]

andrew miller worth it? 

we need the bp help, but is he worth the length of that contract

heard the dodgers were in on him

 

[twinsnyc]

Not too far fetched. Got McCann money and he's better than McCann. They are both on te wrong side of 30 too.

No he is not, nice try though.

 

[Benny Hinn]

Dominoes are expected to start falling around the league this weekend. We'll see where this new FO is heading soon....

 

[Los Angeles]

Lester > Miller

Patiently waiting to hear kemp / ethier getting traded

 

[Benny Hinn]

If they trade Kemp then Joc better come out of the gates like Trout. Roster has no time to wait for him to turn into an All Star in 3-4 years

 

[lovehateself]

greinke on the block? 

they think he'll opt out

he is about the monies

hope they dont tradde kemp

either has said he wants to start next year, even if its for a different team

Kemp needs to go. He had an ok season after his big pay day. Can't have him be trash again and value go down. Get rid of him while he has value again.

Been said Ethier needs to go.

Greinke needs to be kept even if it cost more this season

If the dodgers win next year I'm sure he will stay.

Ned really gave out stupid contracts. Smh. ZG shouldn't have the opt out option set up this way.

 

[mr jordan04]

Ethier told the dodgers he wants to start next year

 

[ooiron manoo]

No he is not, nice try though.

Hey, welcome to three weeks ago. Martin is better than McCann but tell yourself whatever you want, must be a Yankee fan. .

Ethier can go **** himself after that abysmal 2014. He has no grounds to dictate his gate at this point.

 

[Benny Hinn]

F Ethier then. Still cant believe he got caught on 3rd when we had a rally going. And F Donny for panicking over 9 at-bats from Puig...

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

Dre basically saying "trade me" without actually saying it out right.

 

[Benny Hinn]

Hope that Montero rumor is legit. Get this guy outta here. He's from AZ anyways....

 

[Los Angeles]

That would have been a solid trade but it fell through.

Ethier always smashes the ball in his hometown.

 

[lovehateself]

greinke pitching to montero...that would/would have been interesting

 

[Benny Hinn]

Kemp to Padres? Now Dee available? They're really cleaning up Ned's mess. 

 

[Los Angeles]

Really wish ethier got dealt.
