    I thought Josh Hader sucks now.
    Am I mistaken?

    Hader is overrated. Definitely too unreliable for that kind of financial commitment.

    I fully agree with this, and don't forget Stone later in the season if/when needed. And I know you're talking pitching but Busch too.

    would have been okay with hader on a reasonable deal
    unfortunately for him he’s definitely priced himself out of any sane team’s consideration
    but we can still cherish the memories…

    According to the Sponichi Annex, young Japanese pitching phenom Roki Sasaki will request a transfer to MLB during the next posting date in 2024. The 22-year-old Sasaki, who's FB sits at 100 MPH, has been linked to the Dodgers for some time.

    huge overpay imo for back of rotation help
    guy may eat a lot of innings but gives up a lot of runs
    FIP just as bad as his ERA

    Jeff Passan@JeffPassan
    Lucas Giolito is a solid signing for Boston — lots of innings and strikeouts. But he also got upward of $20 million a season coming off back-to-back years with ERAs of 4.90 and 4.88, and he allowed 41 homers this season. Opt-out lets him parlay a good year into free agency at 30.

    In other words, just three fewer than Launch Lynn. Yeah, that's worth 20 mill.

    BREAKING: The Atlanta Braves are acquiring seven-time All-Star Chris Sale in a trade with the Boston Red Sox, sources tell ESPN. Well-regarded infield prospect Vaughn Grissom is the return to Boston, which will send money with Sale, who waived his no-trade clause to join Atlanta.

    Happy 88th birthday to one of the best pitchers the game has ever seen, Sandy Koufax! The @Dodgers legend was a 4x World Series Champion, 3x Cy Young Award winner, 7x All-Star, the 1963 NL MVP and was inducted in to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972.

    大谷翔平 速報ShoTime News@ShoTime_News
    Translated from Japanese by Google

    [Candidate transfer destination]・Dodgers, Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, Giants, etc. "The contract is estimated to be worth $85 million over five years, with the potential to reach $100 million."

    hear this shit every offseason so fwiw…
    • Following a report from Ken Rosenthal, the chances of Clayton Kershaw signing with the Texas Rangers are real. Not only would Texas bring him home but they also could offer a more prominent role once he returns.

    i doubt CK goes anywhere when he can have a front row seat to this spectacle
    of course if any team were to appeal to him the champs would be it for sure
    think his coming back mid season might be a factor as well
    sure the Dodgers will be happy to pony up for his services
