Exciting off-season news? What sports are in the playoffs now (besides the NFL in January)?

I would think teams would be for it. The MLBPA is where the push-back would be.

Yeah you kind of hit that moment at a certain age when you realize it really doesn't matter at all in the grand scheme of things.

So you will post something?

Right. It would pretty much have to be a straight up salary dump (which he's not really get paid anything too crazy). Just depends on how desperate the Dodgers are to open that spot on the roster, free up some cash, and get rid of Puig's personality if they truly are sick of him. You'd have to think a team would offer something decent for him though.

Thanks. Right when I'm in a 2 hour meeting.

What time does it start?

I've definitely noticed.

There it is again lol

Just read about him. I'm cool with that.

Alright, I'm pretty sure you've said this at least 5 times today.

Reeeeeeelaaaaaaaax.

Fuck it. Do it.

Not buying into anything until I see that he signs.

Yeah whenever any media person says "so and so are the favorites," it seems like they are guessing.

It's only 3:20! (Trying to be optimistic)

Hmmm before this it was only said that the Reds want the Dodgers to take him but nothing confirming the Dodgers actually would nor wanted him. Having said that, I would assume Kemp would go in the same or another deal (a team that is on Nelson Cruz like the Twins, Rays or Astros for a year).

No where does it say the Dodgers are willing to take him lol they probably get that it doesn't make sense if random people on a message board see that.

I forgot about Freese. A lot of platoon options on that team.

Then they stay the course. The other signings for next year only make sense if they land a big fish (besides Grandal). They can afford to wait these guys out. It's the teams that are already competitive or close to competitive that would miss out an alternatives. Edit: unfortunately, I'm pretty sure Avi is their plan B if they lose out on Harper (and to an extent, Machado if they don't sign him and grab a better OF).

Yeah definitely. And even Muncy is a guy who moved around a lot. He was definitely fun to have on my bench in fantasy last year.

I feel like they shouldn't have offered Ryu a QO.

I also just realized Chris Taylor could move back to the infield (2B) if he's not dealt.

Isn't trading Puig more about opening a spot in the OF? Also, wouldn't moving Bellinger to 1B full-time open up another spot? I know they're pretty deep in the OF.

It doesn't say Dodgers are willing to take Bailey. The Reds want them to. That doesn't mean they will.
