Is Imanaga waiting for Yamamoto? If so, he’s going to end up with a super short window to sign

Let him go to the Yankees. Not the other two.

 

[Cody Webster]

f***ing god damn Dodgers....you knew that was happening

12 years/325 million

 

[DancingPanther]

And again, the Dodgers. They're what people thought the Yankees were. They're in on everyone. Trading for everyone. Signing everyone. f*** them. I hope they suck for all 10 years of deferred Ohtani time, then a thousand years after that. So f***ing stupid

 

[Magua]

The Dodgers getting Yamamoto and Shohei this off-season was so telegraphed a plot twist it was written by M. Night Shyamalan.

 

[Halladay]

Maybe in 2024 they wont have Lance Lynn pitching an elimination game.

 

[DancingPanther]

The Yankees might as well trade the Dodgers Soto now since he'll just sign there next December anyway

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Anyone but the Dodger for the World Series…preferably the Phillies…

 

[Rebels57]

The funny thing is, the Dodgers rotation is still mediocre heading into 2024.

My only concern would be the lack of innings on paper. I think it's pretty good now, but I wouldn't be surprised if it looked much different by the end of the season

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

People getting worried about the Dodgers buying a championship like the Yankees didn't try that already in the early 2000s.

I will laugh my ass off when, after a 110 win regular season, they are bounced in the first round.

Or, the Giants will inexplicably win 115 games and the Dodgers will lose in the wildcard round

Phils in 6 over LAD in the NCLS

[Chinatown88]

Rants are 1000000x better in Japanese. It just hits different.

 

[Cody Webster]

Needed this

 

[JojoTheWhale]

They're not even the favorites to come out of the NL. People have lost their minds.

 

[DancingPanther]

They'll sign Hader too

The Dodgers? You wouldn't say they're co-favorites with the Braves?

 

[Adam Warlock]

One thing i give the NHL credit for is the efficiency of their offseason. You know 95% of the moves will come in the 1-3 week period between the draft and day or two after free agency.

Hopefully things pick up now for MLB.

I think the Dodgers did as good of a job at attempting to fix their starting pitching as they possibly could have.

I think that betting futures markets are not clean projections. They're individual odds of A/B toggles. The public always underestimates continued injury risks. There is a wide swath of outcomes where Yamamoto is an ace and the Dodgers still don’t have the starters to make a run.
