This sport is so stupid.

Wow - dominoes are starting to fall. I think there is going to be a ton of action with so many teams in the race.

The Dodgers are trying so hard to have a lock out next year huh?

Disgusting.

As it should be. Gotta have a Cap to restore balance in the game. Wish everyone could just be the Dodgers and sign/acquire everyone but it just isn’t the case

Thanks to having a great farm system. Happy the Cubs didn’t get him.

2 top 100 prospects and neither were in their top 3. Crazy.

I so hope they get knocked out of the playoffs early. F’n ridiculous.

I'd bet river ryan joins the rotation there in Detroit almost right away.

Can't wait to see how much money is deferred in the extension he signs next week to get ahead of the CBA

Just curious - what would the equivalent package have been from the White Sox?

Hope a former cub, so kind of funny.

Owners have to absolutely love this - gives them more ammo in their fight against the union.

My 11 year old son walks in and just had a meltdown…mlb is rigged…this isn’t fair.

Better not say Boston Smith or the people will riot.

Oh no. Don’t. Please. Who possibly saw this coming.

I hate the Dodgers

Not the Dodgers fault they are trying to win, playing by the rules in place.

You want to blame someone? Blame cheap owners like JR, Miami, Pirates, A's et al.

Braden Montgomery, Tanner McDougal, and David Sandlin.

I hate teams that don't try to win and pocket revenue sharing money instead of improving their teams and chances to win.

This is just overkill though. They could build like a 7 man rotation for the playoffs if everyone's healthy.

What's really annoying is that this isn't even a price where only the Dodgers could afford the prospect cost. There are other contenders who could beat this package.

But they have the edge to keep him in FA, so here we are.

Tigers dugout has clearly gotten word in Sacramento

When has that been the case for the last several years with their pitching staff?

Again they feel they need help and target the best.

Other teams target cast off's, has-been's, retreads and injury prone guys "hoping" it works out. That's not the Dodgers fault.

You want to improve the game? Get rid of the shitty owners who don't give a damn about winning but happily take millions in revenue sharing money.

Just my opinion.
