    Kyle Farmer also included in the deal. Thanks for the memories.

    In the midst of everything going on, someone said that the Dodgers have stopped focusing on "star catchers" for this season and that also meant Realmuto as they do not want to block Smith or Ruiz. Many reports out there that the Marlins continue to be insane in their asking price.

    And we STILL have crazy OFs
    So many trade chips and top notch development behind them

    could also be a negotiating ploy...
    but more likely they're about to re-sign grandMal to a 1yr deal

    Part of the trade that probably won't be focused on and that is 4 guys off the 40 man roster. What OF'er is next?

    I'll always remember being there for his game winning hit against the gnats

    I want to say Joc, but I can't look past Verdugo

    From Heyman: One NL scout on new Dodger prospect: “Jeter Downs a stud....don’t care what he is ranked...future all-star.”

    Verdugo would probably be a hell of a fit with the young guys they have in Cleveland

    Morosi just now
    The #Dodgers trading for Corey Kluber was more realistic than the #Dodgers trading for J.T. Realmuto at the start of this week, one source told me. L.A. viewed #Marlins' asking price as exorbitant. But now the Dodgers have greater prospect depth from which to trade . . . @MLB

    It is going to be a long time before either Ruiz or Smith puts up an offensive line like Realmuto. By then, it is a new era. Worrying about blocking those guys is stupid

    Really interesting to see what direction they go now. I think Pederson is gone no matter what. A couple of reports out there that the team was not happy with how many one dimensional hitters they had on the roster towards the end of the season. They need to be proactive and protect themselves for the horrible scenario where Bellinger and Muncy still don't hit lefties well in 2019 and they can not afford to have 3 platoon guys again. So with that thought in mind, I think Joc is next out the door.

    Right now, Seager and Turner are the only 2 regulars who dont fit that description. Which is scary.

    Or :whack: Off to start a new era of the next Tampa / Marlins type team but with Kelly doubt it

    Or we sign Harper and Mehchado which would be huge. Doubt it


    Or we sign Pollock and Harper Doubt it

    Or we get Harper and Kluber most likely

    Kemp about to go straight to shit in boring Cincy, probably gained 50 lbs. as soon as the deal was announced.

    I feel like we just did the "star catcher" thing, and the star was broken down every year by the time the playoffs rolled around. Honestly, I just want 2 guys who can game-manage and take pitches while hitting 8th. There is no place to drain money and hopes faster than behind the plate. I will be happy if we move on and focus on other areas.
