Didn't really seem to effect the Dodgers.

Basically an injury away in the corners to having to see Daniel Palka or Nick Delmonico on this roster. Thats enough of a reason for me. His numbers last year against lefties were good, although they were bad in 17 and 18. I'd gamble on it personally.

I agree. As long as he knows he'll be a mostly bench/platoon guy and hes cheap enough to where we can cut him if he isn't geling with everyone else and causing trouble, I'm ok with it. I mean, look how much they wasted last year on Jay and Alonso.

Literally to get dfa'd after a few weeks/month.

I figured he would end up on an NL team.

Makes sense. He could see a lot of playing time there. Also, since I'm in the middle of a re-watch....BROCK HOLT!

3 home runs in a row off now Hall of Famer Randy Johnson in 05 was pretty bad ass.

I don't think Bryant gets traded until around mid-season. Team needs a leadoff hitter (saw the 2019 stats yesterday...ugly), another SP (maybe 2), and I believe they lost 6 relievers from last year. They didn't really make any major additions. Compared to the rest of the division, they have to be the 4th best team right? 3rd at best? Although, every team seems flawed in some way.

I love this because personally, I would rather release some of the older prospects and minor league fodder (Ross Detwiler, Andrew Romine and Cheslor Cuthbert come to mind) in favor of adding younger more interesting prospects to the system for franchise play.

Guys on non-contenders who are going to be free agents that offseason and fringy MLB guys on current roster will probably be dfa'd/released August 31st.

That and with the game coming out mid-March, between then and Spring training (earlier since roster cutoff will probably be early Feb), trades happen and guys get claimed on waivers and released.

Would be awesome to see Bauer face them but I'm pretty sure AL West is facing NL East (haven't checked).

Do they play each other this year? AL Central is playing the NL West this year.

Oh its all good. Thought maybe you meant he said that today. He keeps pushing the date farther and farther.

I'd rather they don't get bailed out by dealing anyone else (like other teams in the past have gotten out of), trade one of their best players in Bryant, and have the guys they get for him bust, regardless of package.

He literally said by the time spring training games start, yesterday lol

What about the other 5?

Did the stream happen yet? Haven't had time to check.

Yeah they'd pretty much have to dump Chatwood. And Lester's deal comes off the books after this season.

The Cubs are the ones looking to shed payroll though.

I actually think Stone would know.

The only positive I an really only see being a factor is that he didn't switch to Boras.

Yeah I tend to agree. I don't think it really moves the needle much, if at all.

Well, yeah. Those other guys signed guaranteed deals already.

At what point do you decide you need a job and just accept the system?
