The Comet is headed to the big leagues. Infielder Hyeseong Kim, whose first name translates to "comet" in a Korean dialect, is being promoted to the Dodgers from Triple-A Oklahoma City to make his Major League debut, the club announced on Saturday. In a corresponding move, infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman was placed on the injured list with right ankle inflammation, retroactive to April 30. The Dodgers signed the 26-year-old Kim during the offseason after he spent eight seasons in the Korea Baseball Organization. Kim batted .304 or better in every season from 2021-24 and stole 20 bases in seven consecutive seasons

At least we succeeded in making Jake Meyers the mlb story of the weekend so far...so there's that. Barely 20000+ for a sunny but windy early May 50 degree Dick Allen bobblehead giveaway day? Did they cut the number given away to 1000 instead of 5-10,000??? -
Winning on turf in TB was always going to be a massive chore. That just vanquished any hope at all.

TBH Colson Montgomery coming into OD as the starting SS might not even have bumped you 300 fans with how poorly he looked and how hard he fell from the majority of Top 100 prospect lists. Otoh we have stabilized at losing just 5-10% of the remaining fanbase per 100-121 loss year rather than 15-25% tranches due to something called Mathematics/Statistical Probabability.

https://www.covers.com/sport/baseball/mlb/statistics/team-bullpenera/2025 Should be bottom 3 after today...feels worse. This FG writer deserves a reward for accuracy. "When I try to picture “Justin Anderson” in my mind’s eye, I draw a blank. I do not think I know this Justin Anderson, who went a half-decade without appearing in the major leagues. When he resurfaced last season, he was basically the same pitcher who had kicked around Triple-A for the last five years. Sure, he was throwing his fastball a tick harder, and he added a cutter that he occasionally threw to lefties, but the basic structure was the same: An excellent slider he throws roughly half the time, and almost no command to speak of. The heavy slider reliance means he’s effectively a ROOGY, unable to reliably retire left-handed hitters. In the intervening weeks, Mike Clevinger, who is projected for a 4.67 FIP and -0.2 WAR, moved into the presumptive closer position. The less said about Mike Clevinger, the better. Penn Murfee’s sweeper is a beauty. Fraser Ellard throws hard from the left side and gets pretty nice depth on his slider. Tyler Gilbert can limit hard contact against lefties. James Karinchak is around, for some reason. There are some bright spots, namely Shane Smith if he doesn’t crack the rotation. But this is quite clearly the worst bullpen in baseball." Booser also throws hard and provides a great human interest story for perseverance...but not always well. Jordan Leasure the most polarizing at the current moment. Along with having FOUR lefties...a seemingly excessive amount by at least one or two. Vasil Rule 5 clearly the most effective on paper at least. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2025-positional-power-rankings-bullpen-no-16-30/ -

Getz said July in his interview.

Lol. That was deliberately written in a vague/opaque way to cover any possible eventuality. You can't fix your swing in AZ without competing against AA/AAA caliber pitching.

Goodbye Murfee 11 total bases 9th place hitter all the game's homers...first two of season and a triple -
What does moving towards Chicago but not mean then? Just say he's still a viable prospect or likely broken with the Sox until a change of scenery trade.
