I have a bad feeling about this off season. Have a sense we’ll get one medium guy and a bunch of filler and we’ll get one trade for another arm and that’ll be it and we’ll be a fringe playoff team. Just think it’s going to be another season of rumours that never materialize

Will be exactly like last offseason. Interested in everybody. Think they have a shot at soto play the waiting game and while he uses them to get better offers elsewhere everyone else in free agency will sign with other teams. Then will end up with kiermaier and turner type players

Interestingly enough, that's definitely not really what happened last year. Ohtani was one of the earliest free agents to sign.

If the defending World Series champion and offensively elite dodgers do sign Soto, what’s the point of watching the 2025 season? We all know that they would repeat as champions again. The rest of the teams in the MLB couldn’t compete. It would remind me of The golden state warriors signing free agent Kevin Durant 8 years ago. The defending league champion who was already stacked just adding a elite gamebreaking offensive talent in the offseason. Embarrassment of riches for the chosen team. For the rest of the league, it’s both a warning and a choice- you better Pick your poison.
