I don't understand why the Dodgers would be okay with this, either. This does not add up at all.

Remember when Hahn got Quero and Bush for a declining Giolito and ReyLo?

Say what you will about Hahn buy he at least was acquiring high end prospects. The development system failed most of the bats.

Kopech and Edman for Vargas and the two prospects make sense.

Fedde and Pham to St. Louis for fucking free makes no sense what so ever.

Lolol if this is it (and I can't believe it is), its very funny that Orioles couldn't beat it.  

Because the Sox locked in on Vargas.

For the record, the last young cuban the Dodgers gave up due to positional log jams was Yordan Alvarez. I just wanted to say one positive thing while I cry in the corner.

Can we sign Rick Hahn to a one day contract to make the rest of the trades?

Where are they going to play Vargas? Honestly, I'm all in on them DFAing Senzel and playing him at 3B rest of the year. 

Trade Lopez and DeJong by tomorrow and roll with: 2B Sosa, 3B Vargas, SS Baldwin

Just a reminder his 80 PAs and all but that 108 wRC+ this year makes him the best offensive player on our team. He’s also fast and has a good arm. 
 

But our team is absolute dog s%*#. Such a comparison isn't exactly a ringing endorsement. 

If it were a 100 game sample size instead of 30, I might feel better. But Vargas is a very mediocre headliner.

Just wait for the Crochet trade.

To Dodgers and then White Sox agree to eat 25% of Ohtani's future tax deferrals in what their accountants originally considered a clever accounting trick.

Edman is a very good player when he is healthy and LA needs a shortstop.  I think they think Vargas doesn't have a position and he just doesn't hit the ball hard.

Why?

LF would be my call

Edman is better than I think most on this board are giving credit to - his actual productivity of 16 WAR over 5 season's isn't bad and Dodgers have him through '26.  But straight up for Fedde given the premium on pitching seems strange.

Edman is a bit overpaid and hasn't even play this year. Edman is set to make $10M next year.

Benintendi?

He hasn't played all year!!!

Does that not matter?

So we traded Fedde AND Kopech for a right handed left fielder?

DFA his ass.

If u thought thus trade was bad....wait till Beni gets packaged with Crochet to water down the prospect return considerably. 

This trade is the baseball equal of standing on the corner in a blizzard waiting for your bus that's running late to go to work, and instead the bus roars right past you and manages to also catch the gigantic puddle soaking you as it went past.

I'm assuming fathom is saying Benintendi will likely be gone with Crochet.

Fucking for real.

Maybe all the high end Dodgers prospects are earmarked for the Crochet trade. ?

I'd get it if Edman was healthy and putting up a 3-4 WAR season but this is just bizarre.

Edman is done. He will never be that player again. He was already light with the bat pre wrist surgery. Almost 30 and relies on his legs for value.
