LMFAO!!! Cue the meltdown around the league. Kid is 23 let's hope he doesn't meet the Dodgers greatest foe Tommy John. This rotation if all goes well is just stupid. Wow.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Not only did they have the least to offer, they got the money from the Phillies in a trade.

 

[Master Yoda]

Lol

Look at this lineup

Sasaki
Snell
Ohtani
Yamamoto
Glasnow

Gonsolin
May
Knack
Kershaw (in the Summer)
Miller

Plus:
Sheehan (might pitch this yr)
Stone (out for the year)

And they are reportedly still after Tanner Scott

On paper, probably the best pitching staff in modern history. But history also didn't have so many arm injuries, so we shall see how that goes.

Have to imagine that played a big part in wanting to extend the rotation

also they're like we have to go to the bullpen? Fine we'll make the bullpen all starters too. Awesome being able to kick down guys like May and Gonsolin into the bullpen. I know some guys don't do well with that but best way to try to extend/salvage their careers.

but really a lot of those guys are oft-injured, doubt we ever see that lineup all at once like, ever

Insane

Holy frijoles

Tanner Scott to LAD 4/$72M

The Lions… that franchise is cursed.

10pt favorites in the playoffs. Pretty big oof. Washington is riding on some real magic right now. Starting to remind me of the Giants wild card teams that beat the Patriots.

Tanner Scott to LAD 4/$72M

Wow Scott is a beast as well. LMAO!!!

 

[Bandit]

Imagine getting paid 72 million for 4 years. Nuts.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I am honestly starting to wonder if the Dodgers are absolutely nuking the Padres for reasons haha

I'm all for it given their behavior going all the way back to Manny but man LA is totally choking out little brother right now

 

[Maynard]

Collinsworth is doing the Rams game. Raspy old drunk. I’d rather listen to a school shooting.

 

[Lt Dan]

RIP Rams season

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Kinda what we expected unfortunately

Kinda what we expected unfortunately

The loss....yes. How they did it....no.

Despite turnovers and the long Barkley TD runs they were inside the 20 late with a chance to win it.

Really impressed with that young defensive line.

 

[ru4reals]

Rams had a surprisingly successful season I mean no one expected them to win their division and was actually in this game in the second half. They just couldn't stop Saquan. Might be another Chiefs vs. Eagles SB although not going to be easy.

Yeah, from how bad they started, then all the trade talks when they were down, only to put it together and win the division. The Rams secondary looked literally frozen at times, and had no juice to stop Saquan during those long runs.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I swear Williams fumbles every game at some point.

 

[Schrute farms]

Ball on 13 with chance to win it. If the rookie center doesn't make a boneheaded decision and ignore Carter -- there's a good chance the rams score a TD on that drive. So close

At some point one of their youngsters was going to miss an assignment. Got great play from the young group overall, but got them at the end.

Finally over the mountain of dead cap. $9.7 mill left from Donald in 2025.

Stafford due $27 mill in real money. That’s prob the only big question is whether the rams need to pump that up.

Figure the rams need to add a Speed WR. Don’t think a TE is needed given how Kupp and Nacua like to work. Too many guys in the middle of the field looking for the ball.

 

[Herby]

Well, if any team in sports history deserved to run well in a game it was the Bills, I'm happy for their long-suffering fans. I think Baltimore was clearly the better team, but turnovers count for a lot.

Cooper Kupp has a $30m cap hit next season, you have to figure he is asked to take a major paycut or is cut, the guy was on a milk-carton at the end of the season.

 

[Kingfan1967]

Dodgers crushing the off season and WS winners
Lakers and Clippers 1+2 in the west
LA Kings keeping in the race for the Pacific
Galaxy MLS champs
Rams played in the 2nd round

good times for LA sports teams/fans

Cap hit doesn't equal cash due. His base salary is $12.5 mill with $7.5 roster bonus for $20 mill cash. The remaining $9.8 mill is the prorated SB/Option from prior years. His base salary for 2025 is not guaranteed but $5 mill of the $7.5 mill roster bonus is guaranteed. $22.2 mill dead cap if cut. Probably restructuring that deal a bit to bring it down from $30 mill cap charge. Whether that actually equals a reduction from the $20 mill in real money, wait and see.

Stafford is nearly a $50 mill cap hit for 2025 but only $27 mill in real money owed as an example.
