So you're saying trade for him and make Joc 4th OF? I'm not sure many want that. One thing that would for sure have to happen is if they get Joc, they would need a bench bat to platoon him with (trash against lefties so far over the course of 6 years). As far as everything we have heard so far, they don't plan on platooning Mazara (not at first anyway).

This isn't a very good list for helping the left side of the infield.

I don't see how? I would think not.

Dodgers can still pull it off by themselves. Doesn't seem necessary for it to be a 3-team deal honestly.

We actually don't know what the price is yet. All that's been reported is Joc, Strippling and a prospect would go to Angels. Only one player has been reported going the other way.

Dodgers are sending over starting pitching depth and an OF prospect. You really think all the Angels are giving up is a backup IF?

I think the hearing was yesterday, no?

Nah. He was just running with stuff that was out there.

What was the name of the other bat? The RF, former 2 way player (not that I have interest in that).

Not really.

Absolutely nothing.

Trading any of the top prospects for one year of Betts at this point would be fucking dumb./thread

There was a funny Barstool article written from a Yankees fan that wondered how the Dodgers farm system would recover post-Betts trade. Showed the top 5 (maybe 10) prospects pre-Betts trade and then showed the same list post-Betts (obviously no difference and just a dig at the Boston fans in the office haha).

I'd assume they'd actually want to hold onto Jansen. I liked the idea if Maeda as a swing man target since he consistently goes back and forth between rotation and bullpen but I'm not sure what I'd actually give up.

Let's see the official full details before saying we should have acquired him, shall we? There's 4 names comfirmed but other prospects as well.

Yep. The only way he isn't is if his 12 year, $450 mill (or whatever it was he wanted) is offered.

Yeah I'm thinking Dodgers sign him long term. Either extend in season or next next offseason.

Yeah it sucks, but they can always try to re-sign him next year. I don't think he'll be close to what he is asking for from them to sign now and they could be in on the bidding.

Agreed with everything here. Not a bad spot to be in to have another team's number 4 hitter in our 8 spot.

Makes sense. Everyone can chill with the takes haha what are we, rookies at baseball news? Theres usually more players.

Ok but the argument is literally from the Sox perspective as to why they didn't. Not yours.

I don't disagree that Pederson is better but from everything we've read, they really like Mazara. Dude has some serious upside with the bat. So its not shocking they wouldn't trade for someone else.

I'm good with giving him a chance.

This is his schtick. Criticize front office for everything. Dude literally lives to be miserable on this site.

But the front office really likes Mazara...the guy they just traded for and wanted in July last year.
