Kershaw to the 10-day DL. Dodgers are down to two regular starters.

Curse of The Bauer.

Give him a shot.

These bullpen games are going to kill the arms in the pen.

Hoping Stephen A Smith gets the same treatment as Rachel Nichols. It’s only fair right?

 

[kingsholygrail]

Stephen A Smith is untouchable, so he won't. The Ohtani overhype though was pretty hilarious especially after grounding out twice. We need to stop the Babe Ruth comparisons until he at least gets close to 700 home runs. It is exciting to see a pitcher that can hit as good as anyone else, but geez. lol

Yes I agree with the overhyped, I want to see another 5 to 7 years of this before we can start comparing him to all timers, especially since it's only half a season. But what he has done for just the first half is still pretty damn impressive. No one has even come close to doing both and Ohtani has shown he's capable of excelling in hitting and pitching. But he needs to go away from the Angels if he really wants to win. Lol. Mike Trout is stuck for life and if Ohtani proves he can be a consistent player he won't win jack with the Angels.

Yeah, he totally deserved to be there. Just seemed like an unusual amount of attention placed on him over any other All-Star.

This could use a bump.

I thought he was going to San Diego. Dang that would be insane. Wow.

 

[Gjwrams]

Rumored trade:

Scherzer and Trea Turner for Ruiz, Gray and 2 mid level prospects.

SCORE!

 

[Gjwrams]

For me it was about not letting Scherzer get to the Padres. mission accomplished

 

[Reclamation Project]

Blake will up the ante with Eichel!

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Gonna miss Grey, Ruiz. Sort of like watching Verdugo now. Sure we're happy, and happy for his success, but still painful to watch the system grow elsewhere haha.

With Ruiz at least the dodgers can only hoard so many catchers eh, but Gray...

 

[eleventy]

Yoinked from right under the Padres

 

[DryIslandBartender]

Kings get ovie to complete the trifecta of trades from Washington.

Finished a round of golf with a couple of Padres fans and they were gloating all the way to the clubhouse ... then this news broke and one threw his phone

 

[Schrute farms]

Not a big MLB fan, but what LADs gave up for Max and TT (an all-star SS himself) seems on the lighter end of what expect. I would have expected like 2 top 25-40 guys plus 2-3 top 125 guys....plus 1-2 throw ins. Well done blue

they gave up Ruiz, a starting top end catcher and a top starter for Scherzer, who was not resigning with them. The Dodgers gave up a lot.

Ruiz had no place on the Dodger roster with Will Smith, a young catcher himself blocking him. No way it was “a lot.”

 

[Ben Grimm]

I'm very excited about the Westbrook trade! Go Lakers!

Yeah one had to go no matter what, but that's still 'a lot', just because the Dodgers don't need two doesn't mean one doesn't have value

How? Scherzer is still an ace and they also got Turner who is only 28 and an all star himself.

I haven't watched an NBA game in over 5 years, but this meme pretty much sums up Westbrook to the Lakers. LOL.

Dont get me wrong it's not a complaint at all im very happy with the trade, but Ruiz had tons of value even if not to the dodgers

Catchers that can hit are still a pretty rare quanitty

Ruiz is tough, but at least we got two amazing players. Scherzer might re-sign too.

Having Will Smith and Cartaya softens the blow a bit. One of those two was always gonna get dealt and some people think Cartaya is even better.
