I think the Dodgers should avoid adding more "1B/DH/LF" defensive types, regardless of how good they are offensively. Go for signing/trading for an every day SS or CF who is competent defensively and decent with the bat.
I can't see the Dodgers paying another Otahni contract for Soto when they already have productive guys at his position and Rushing deserving of a shot. I can see them snagging a good pitcher not represented by Boras, or trading for Crochet, but I think they'll start the season with most of the same guys.
For some reason, it won't let me post in the live chat, so I will just say this regarding free agents: I hope the team mimics what KC and SD did last off-season and makes quick signings and trades while the big boys are focused on the spotlight free agent, which is Soto this year. I would like the team to quickly secure Scott, Fried, and hopefully, Kim. Kim would be iffy since he's a Boras client and he will be trying to make a statement to restore his reputation, which is why I eliminated Burnes and Snell who he will want extended years at an over-inflated AAV. The Dodgers could go down the path of high risk/high reward targets like Bieber and/or Moncada or Rodgers. Potential trades that have a50-50 likelihood include: Gilbert, Hoerner, Yoshida, and Finnegan. My dream trade would be a package for Royce Lewis and Duran. I am not a fan of Adames who has been trending down across the board and only perked up last season in his walk year, which is always a red flag. His hitting profile is redundant of the power over contact batters in the current lineup and would further imbalance the lineup. and yeah, I would let Flaherty, Teo, and Buehler walk unless it's on a one year deal with a club option. Although Soto fits the profile of a player Friedman typically pursues maniacally: extremely productive, generational talent ceiling, and yet to enter his prime, there are too many needs and not enough spending space. The pitch, if he makes one to Soto, would be a shorter term (five years with a three year opt out) and high AAV ($70 million per) and test to see if Soto really wants a chance to play with ohtani and get multiple rings. I don't think Boras would go for it and would do everything in his power to convince Soto to reject it. Hopefully, that scenario happens quickly so the Dodgers can focus on other players.
Me too sometimes.. try posting on the regular comment section if u can, or if u can't, try n comment on someone else's comment. Or try restarting ur device and or YT app
@normlee6566 You are the only person not thinking Soto is an ego liability. He isn't Machado or Tatis. He plays with the pitchers mind, and that's all these Dodger fans see. He is a future Hall of Famer and just turned 26. In 6 years, he will be Teoscars age. I see a 12 year 550 million contract that will make him look like a bargain after 5 years. Dodgers wanted to move Betts to the infield just to make room for Soto (if anyone was curious what that was about). To say we don't need him or he is too expensive is crazy to my ears. It's like all the haters who laughed at the Dodgers for paying Ohtani 700 million. If you want to build an international fan base that will last for decades (and make all that money) you get Soto. It's a business.
Dodgers sign free agent 2025 Willy Adames,Roki Sasaki, Blake snell, Max Fried,Tanner Scott and Carlos Estévez. 2025 dodgers sign Roki Sasaki replacement Jack Flaherty ,dodgers sign max fried replacement walker buehler dodgers sign Scott tanner replacement Daniel Hudson dodgers sign Carlos Estévez replacement Blake Treinen
Playoffs Adames 111 ABs 216 AVG 664 OPS 44ks Edman 119 ABs 277 AVG 727 OPS 22Ks Best regular season year Edman 2022 6.3 WAR Adames 2022 4.4 WAR Why did the Dodgers not sign Trea? Because hitters that chase do not age well. Adames is the king of chasing. Im sure they wanted Adames for a couple cheap seasons, just like they wanted Trea. However he is not what they like longterm
Austin Barnes is already a Dodger for 2025! Dodgers exercised his option yesterday!
Yep. This was recorded yesterday
where do we put Dalton Rushing then
@@mikeykimm6719 he has been playing left field in okc
Let walker walk and sign Snell, we need a dominant lefty. Glasnow, Ohtani, Snell, Yamamoto, Gonsolin

This offseason is going to be so much fun!
