    Source: deferrals on Diaz deal with the Dodgers is $4.5M annually for the 3 years. For luxury tax purposes will calculate at roughly $21.1M.

    - 232 RBI
    - 1.025 OPS
    - 2.87 ERA
    - 1st 50/50 season in MLB history
    - 2x All-Star
    - 2x NL MVP
    - 2025 NLCS MVP
    - 2x World Series Champion
    Greatest free-agent signing ever

    Projecting some of the Dodgers' bullpen options with Edwin Díaz:
    - Díaz
    - Tanner Scott
    - Alex Vesia
    - Blake Treinen
    - Brusdar Graterol ('full go' for spring, per Brandon Gomes)
    - Anthony Banda
    - Ben Casparius
    - Will Klein
    - Jack Dreyer
    - Brock Stewart will be delayed
    - Evan Phillips still a FA.

    • According to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo, the Mets’ final offer to Díaz was three years and $66 million with slight deferrals, although a source said team officials made it known they had room to improve. However, Díaz chose the Dodgers before that happened.

    Not sure it's a legit claim but I read that LA has already broken even on Sho's ENTIRE contract. The Asian market merchandise has earned the team +$800 million.

    Like I said, not convinced, but it makes sense that Japan's 142 million people are wearing the shit out of Sho's Dodger gear, and if 14 mil people spent $50 .... that's $700 mil alone.

    Dodgers unlikely to offer Tucker a long-term deal

    Even after signing Edwin Díaz, the Dodgers could pursue Kyle Tucker, though they're unlikely to offer him a long-term deal, per The Athletic. They're more likely to offer him a short-term 3-4 year contract with a high annual salary, similar to Alex Bregman's deal with the Red Sox last offseason. The Dodgers offered Bryce Harper a short-term, high-dollar deal back in the day.

    L.A.'s two biggest needs this offseason are bullpen help and outfield help, particularly defensively. Díaz helps with the former. Tucker would help with the latter, and also improve a lineup that is getting a little long in the tooth. The Dodgers have also been connected to former Dodger Cody Bellinger throughout the offseason for the same reason. He'd improve their outfield on both sides of the ball.

    ktla clown fwiw…

    @DavidPingalore
    Orlando, FL @TarikSkubal UPDATE I’m hearing the Skubal deal is essentially in place — the pieces are agreed to, the framework is done. What’s holding it up now is the long-term extension and ownership approval in Detroit. The @Tigers won’t green-light it without the owner’s sign-off, and the @Dodgers won’t ship out that kind of haul without a long-term commitment from Skubal. That’s the final hurdle.”
