I’m certainly not complaining about a Braves return. Can’t have too many arms. Especially with this team.

What?

Pitching is still a long term need (until proven otherwise). Edit: also might be better than what other teams are offering? Hmmm…

Makes sense based on literally every move thus far.

Worth noting he’s due back like mid-season (I’m pretty sure).

It should be but shows how significantly they are slashing payroll. Roster looks worse than anything we could have penciled in.

Aggressive GM, great offer (even if pitching heavy). What am I missing?

Makes sense they signed Fedde at 2 years the cost about.

Glass-now amiright?

Agreed. They need to be traded separately honestly.

Yeah, I was wondering how this worked. With it being a 10-year deal with 10 years of deferrals, is it maybe evenly matched? Like if he opts out after 5 years, does he only get 5 years of deferrals? But yeah I think you're right that the Dodgers would be on the hook for those.

Look at it as more of a sending the Dodgers money to help even out Lynn Kelly deal. It is amazing he never got a shot when Colas was sent down and after Shields was terrible again and Frazier.

Huh? Firing the GM doesn’t trigger an opt out. It gives him the option to lol if he declines like your hypothetical, why would he opt out.

Well if that happened, then Ohtani wouldn’t want to opt out.

That would give them 2 top 100 guys and an MLB ready starter with 6 years of control. I kinda doubt that happens. But would be awesome.

FWIW, no one actually reported that the deal was imminent, just that it was being discussed.

To be fair, Grissom himself just graduated off the top 100 prospect list (still has 6 years of control) and younger than about half the Dodgers prospects discussed on this board. He's being treated like he's just declined and fell off the T100 list or something. I think you're putting too much emphasis on a label. Any of these prospects being talked about that debuted last year that would start the season at the MLB level in 2024 on the Sox would also have 6 years.

Can easily shift Lopez to a bench role.

And Will Smith too. From what I can tell, no one was slapped.

Only if he hits left-handed.

I don't understand this. Unless you mean trading for a Boras client.

Personally, I'm not a believer in every single Tweet being purposeful, ha.

And a hypothetical 1-year signing of Kershaw. Also Glasnow. Also, this brings up a great question on if Ohtani will be in a 6-man rotation in 2025 like he has been his whole MLB career to this point.

I'd say maybe even extend it to 5 pieces. But who knows, AA could end up being more aggressive than the Reds and O's GMs.

Dodgers rotation (assuming Pepiot is traded for Glasnow): 1. Buehler 2. Glasnow 3. Miller 4. Yarbrough 5. Sheehan Kershaw will probably re-sign. I feel like Yarbrough is better as a long-man/6th starter type. Sheehan or Miller could hypothetically be a part of a Cease deal. I agree though, it depends on if they get Yamamoto.
