Rays won't be in the top 5.  They were a .500 team long before(pretty much starting in June) Wander stopped playing.  They just benefited from a blistering start. 

Jays will be when they announce Ohtani today, Yankees should be there but they also like to shit down their legs.  I could see them having 3 of the top 8

Which one of you slapdicks posted this review on breathing orange fire?

These guys’ obsession with Dusty makes the show unlistenable.

These guys applauding themselves for making Dusty not like his job was kind of it for me. I get that Dusty made questionable decisions but dancing on someone’s grave after they decide to leave feels in bad taste.

 

This will be my favorite review ever.  

That's probably going to work out for the best for them because the chances of him pitching like last year going forward aren't very high.

Retired Dusty Baker is the best Dusty Baker.

Where do you leave reviews for podcasts? Is there a Yelp section for that?

No idea. Need to figure it out. I think directly on iTunes or Spotify probably.

Don't know why you're asking us, that person is obviously not a shaggy poster.

That’s awesome

reads like one of those negative reviews of national parks:

”felt very isolated.”

Don’t blast someone for the truth.

I’m so glad I won’t have to talk about him anymore except for making snide remarks and the occasional off handed remembrance of worse times. 

Ohtani to the Doyers is amazeballs. Just need these dipshits to keep Dave Roberts around long enough (2-3 years) to blow his peak.

They will never win a WS with that contract. There is no way you can build a competitive team when 30% of your cap is tied up in 1 person.

…with one good elbow. 

Wow, that contract is nuts!  I’m actually kind of impressed that the Dodgers are willing to risk that much.

It’s not that big a deal. More than half the contract is deferred until after he’s through playing allegedly. You know how to do the present value of money calculation as well as I do. A couple of morons that are Yankee fans on the hot stove thread don’t, of course, one of which is Helo, but yeah/ once that tweet came out it made a lot more sense. 
The dodgers are rich and worth a ton of money and have a large Asian population obviously in their town. This isn’t a risky deal for them imo.

So, it's more like 40-700.

Yep. Don’t know how much is deferred and how much is present value but I’d guess it would be equivalent to 10/450 or 500. I had 12/600 before the injury so probably pretty similar. Will run present day value calculations when it comes out official on the schedule.

Just as a lark I went through the Dodgers roster, current payroll, and then Fangraphs prospect list.  A few observations:

1.  For as touted as their minor league system is by prospect writers, they don't appear to be developing replacements for departing MLB players.  Most of their prospects are also older.

2.  Speaking of old, what's left of their lineup is pretty ancient. 

3.  Signing Ohtani is unlikely to be their last move and then need several starters.  Isn't that what we just heard about the Yankees?

How much over the cap does this put the dodgers? They have to be paying a massive tax? I never get how we don’t have money yet these other teams are just signing everyone that’s available

They were only at $130M pre-Ohtani. His hit will depend on the contract structure but they are in pretty good shape cap-wise

They still have some holes to fill, and apparently plan to re-sign Kershaw who wants 25m a year. I think Ohtanis cap hit will be around 60m a year with the deferral. Sherzer had half his 7 year 210m deal with the Nats deferred, and it only lowered his cap hit by 13% a year. The deferral thing is being overstated, it's not a 1 to 1 deal, the 'savings' is based on NPV dollars and projected inflation, and it's a small portion of the total amount owed each year.

Y'all be talkin' 'bout cap and the Dodgers.

LOL


astros fans stressing signing a mid talent LF and the dodgers dropping $1bil on two players 

Well, I'm sure this will help the Dodgers make it all the way to the NLCS this year.  Fuck Joe Kelly

Their roster actually looks a lot like ours might after 2025 and with only Altuve and Yordan left.  Stars and scrubs.  

what is this cap y'all speak of?

cohen out front should have told you

He looks like the guy with the shrunken head in “Beetlejuice”

Less preening and more film study and bp. 

He needs more flexibility, not bulk 

his joints will be screaming by mid season

Ha.

My exact reaction was he looks like one of those bodybuilders with a mini head.

 

If he had Adolis’ head, I’d be worried about needing a SS to cover for a 2nd half suspension

Start the transformation into FrankenPena now, and in a couple of years he might turn into Barry Bonds!

So Ohtani will own the Dodgers. I hope he moves the team to Tokyo 

Will the money in 10 years go against the cap of those years for the dodgers? Seems like a ton to go against their cap space when he isn’t playing in 2034.

If he is retired, nope.

The Dodgers make a fuck ton off their tv deal.  They can afford it.  Whether a guy who has had 2 tj surgeries already is worth that much is another story.

Nah, that's not far enough away.
