How many innings did Kopech need this year to be stretched out for starter duties next year?

At a minimum they should keep his innings next year below the level that would trigger the 4th year.

Tell me when he's ready to hit left handed.

Joc OPS vs RHP is now .865 I think. Just sayin

So what did RH say?

But do they usually announce it like this?

Trade for Joc...he is starting to heat up now. Wouldn't cost much.

We need good LH bats more than anything. Relievers have alot of volatility. I'd like to buy low on Gavin Lux but I doubt the Dodgers are that stupid.

I'm pretty sure JR isnt gonna be on board with 13m a year for 4 years for middle inning relief. And he isnt gonna want to hear about sunk costs either.

This. He is making it worse and worse every time he tries to dig in. On the other hand, I'm sure the FO would like to see him continue to dig his own grave. If it really turns into a big deal, there is an open fissure with the lockerroom and the team goes into a tailspin on the field, its possible RH and KW could then force JRs hand.

Collins against LHP?

Gallo doesn't fit because of the reverse splits issue.

That is awesome!

Gallo is doing better against LHP than RHP despite being a lefty, so no thanks

This sounds more like he is setting up to blame TLR (which is fine) than expressing a realistic and honest viewpoint as to how the FO sees the team.
