    i mean, obviously they didn't break baseball but i agree w giving the owners what they want. the owners intend to lock out the players period. Dodgers just get to be the boogeyman. and the fans are going to lose out on games most likely. any other team could have easily met or surpassed what LA offered. sounds like collusion to me.

    i don’t agree
    dodgers spent nothing, fave up no major leaguers and only one top prospect
    any other team could have done the same, they just chose not to …
    but that may play into the collusion you suggested

    I think teams are genuinely scared to deal with Dodgers on high-A and below players
    Once the Dodgers mention a name, they probably scramble to try to figure out why that name was mentioned

    not sure my intention came through. the Dodgers did everything exactly the way a top organization looking to be the best they can be should do. just saying it was such a forgone conclusion and together w the timing is exactly what the rest of the owners wanted so they can conveniently point the finger at the evil empire. that narrative is what they intend to repeat ad nauseam while they sit on their wallets.

    @DodgersNation
    Tarik Skubal addresses the media for the first time as a member of the Dodgers:

    “I spent 8 years with the Detroit Tigers. That place will always be special to me no matter what but in the same breath, I’m excited to be here, I’m excited to compete with these guys. When you watch them from across the way, you have a lot of respect because they play the game the right way. The entire focus for this organization is winning championships and that’s my focus.”

    the owners needed him to join the Dodgers
    the owners are in partnership with the players to pretend to fight in order to take the fans money
    that pretend fight is the games
    and the media is there for you to feel the 'pretend' pain

    everyone understands this
    hence why there is always kayfabe in every sport
    its respect for your true enemy (the fans) to hold up kayfabe
    the moment the enemy of the fans (the circus) stops caring about the kayfabe and about the hearts and minds of the fans children...
    the writing is on the wall

    they no longer pretend to be your friend
    because they dont need to pretend anynmore
    they are telling you that you are a slave
    and you have no choice but to still fan
    what... its not like you going anywhere?
    and this they know

    that they gotcha!
    and you gonna serve your children up to them too!
    hell you probably already did!

    but dont fret
    thats when the overcomers come in
    and kill all of you and your women and your children and all of your pets too
    to save you from your enemies

    and you will love them too
    just like you loved the previous ones
    because.... power
    and chicks dig the long ball

    power is all that they recognize as good
    so keep trading what you got for power
    then you can be showbusiness people
    they love that show power on tv

    its full of women and black people and minorities too
    and certain other types who love power
    i wonder who watches those type of shows
    there are lots of spinoffs off of the show power
    yet who is out there watching all of these shows of power
    blacks, women, gays, minorities and even the normies who like to take their pride out and play with it in public

    keep your pride in your pants people
    what you do with your pride in your own holy of holies should stay there
    private

    or else you expose yourself

    The Padres traded their #4 prospect for Robbie Ray while the Dodgers traded their #5 prospect for Tarik Skubal.

    Lmao.

    motherfucker was here within HOURS of the trade
    he probably always wanted to be a DODGER!
    he couldnt get outta there fast enough
    specially after they offered him a lowball on arbitration

    reminds me of Piazza running to the Mets after the Dodgers tried to nickel and dime him

    Yeah. Guy will go down as the Angels version of Rox Charlie Blackmon - great player, shit team, dedicated to them anyway, no postseason opportunities.

    Shame.

    C Hunter Feduccia coming back to Dodgers in exchange for OF Jack Suwinski

    Hunter is our true backup to Will and Dalton.

    Very interesting. Yeah, better bat than Rortvedt. Not sure defensively, but good get. Feel a little bad for Ben but it's just business. Suwinski was occupying an OF spot in OKC. Time for a promotion to fill it?

    @SleeperDodgers
    Tarik Skubal on the Dodgers acquiring him, per @JesseRogersESPN.

    “Every team could trade for me. I don’t sympathize with people that blame the Dodgers for anything they’ve done. It’s a winning org…I really don’t sympathize with people that are complaining because the Dodgers do all the right things.”




    loving this guy already

    @JeffPassan
    The Minnesota Twins are acquiring reliever Jeff Hoffman in a trade with the Toronto Blue Jays, sources tell ESPN.




    Miguel Rojas wishes he went to Milwaukee.
