    maybe, maybe not. The offer would have to really, really high considering Boras is his agent. He'll be 30 going into next season.

    The 2000s were rough seeing Cliff Lee, CC Sabathia, Roy Halladay, etc be acquired by other teams when such an ace was the last piece the Dodgers needed to get over the hump.
    Things have changed
    Wish the Dodgers were like this when I was a kid and obsessed with baseball

    Dodgers rotation at full strength ranks with best ever:
    Co-aces Skubal and Yamamoto are arguably MLB’s 2 best starters.
    Ohtani is the greatest player ever.
    Snell is a top-10 pitcher and Glasnow a top-25 pitcher.
    All-Star Wrobleski and big-armed Sheehan provide depth.

    The Dodgers just acquired arguably the best pitcher in baseball for prospects they acquired in deals where they sent away Michael Busch…. and Matt Beaty

    If you think they acquired Tarik Skubal because they have money shut the hell up

    The Dodgers traded one top 5 prospect and a pitcher with a 4.95 ERA this year as the best players in a deal for the best pitcher in baseball??? The MLB is such a joke anymore with no cap structure and allowing team like LA to cheat money with deferred salary.

    The Dodgers just acquired Tarik Skubal without giving up..

    Josue De Paula and Mike Sirota (not surprising)

    Eduardo Quintero and Emil Morales (okay I could believe that)

    Emmet Sheehan and Justin Wrobleski (how did that happen??)

    Andrew Friedman is on another level.

    GOAT

    @BravesStash
    They acquired him because the farm is overrated.

    How is a guy who has pitched a handful of games in the last 2 years and 28yo still a top 100 prospect?

    I mean I'd be excited to get him too, but don't play this victim show with everyone.

    There's no sympathy to be had for a team with a 2B payroll and overrated farm system.

    I'm assuming we trade Lauer so Tuesday would probably slot in best
