I would hate that.

This is exactly how I would write it up.

"He expects" isn't exactly what will happen. I'd still bet money on him being a lock for Charlotte to open the year (barring any some surprising really cheap extension). Edit: I completely read the tweet wrong as Kopech expects.

Lol apparently.

They are paying a tax on it so whatever. If other teams choose not to spend, why is that the Dodgers problem?

They should bring back Taijuan Walker too.

Nope. Thought this for what, 2 years now?

Thats true. Anyone else get the feeling they just don't like Collins? Ha

I never would have expected Vaughn on the team day 1. They could break camp with 3 catchers and then send Collins down or DFA Lucroy when Vaughn is ready.

I mean this is likely to be true based on what he has previously said.

I was going to say, this is news to me too. Unless he just means in general (ESPECIALLY relievers).

Brock Holt!

A lot of guys did. Thats what happens when the season starts 4 months later.

Yeah it's also kind of nice knocking out some of those later games early in the season.

Plus hasn't Giolito recently hinted that he would not be taking a hometown discount?

Exactly. They don't seem that different.

I would have like Tony Wolters as a potential backup C on a minor league deal. Career 31% caught stealing, regularly grades out as an above average to excellent pitch framer, according to MLBTR.

Another slap hitting corner outfielder. Exactly what this team needs.

Benintendi pretty meh.

Yeah he makes a lot of sense on a rebuild team, including the team that cut him. Honestly, the Orioles should just cut Davis at this point.

Brandon Kintzler signed a minor league deal with the Phillies. He had an MLB offer with the Marlins but he could earn more potentially with the Phillies. Would have liked that signing too.

Pretty much only here because of pandemic though.

I don't think 7-inning double headers will be a part of baseball post-pandemic.

Based on the quote that leaked from Jerry within the past couple years, are you him?

Exactly. Ideally, they're able to find a guy they can stash at Charlotte and a guy they can have a 6th starter/long relief role at the MLB level.
