conforto platooning with pages makes perfect sense. so does edman with outman. this will get the youngsters experience. we can't give up on outman and pages. stop the trade talk. we already have the perfect team.
Not if we re-sign Kike - in that case, there will be no room Pages or Outman in the active 26-man roster and no possibility (barring injuries) of calling them up 2025.
@@LockedOnDodgers And once they sign Kike, there won't be room for either Outman or Pages on the 26 man active roster! Baring injuries, no minor league players will get any significant runway on 2025, including Dalton Rushing!
@@LockedOnDodgers you boys are trade happy. the dodger history has been to develop in house talent. if you guys are hawking for luis robert instead of having trust that outman will perform. make room!!
We're not hawking for Luis Robert. But the fact is, even with the roster as it stands right now, there's probably not room for both Andy Pages and James Outman. And there's definitely not room for five catchers on the 40-man roster. The Dodgers history, especially during this current lengthy streak of success, is to develop talent AND sign some big names AND make some savvy trades. The Dodgers had five straight Rookie of the Year Award winners from 1991-95; Mookie Betts has won two more World Series titles with the Dodgers than all of those guys combined. When we talk about trades, it comes from looking at the roster and recognizing the fact that they need to make trades. Whether that's to get a star like Luis Robert or simply to make room for Dalton Rushing, it's mostly just a math question.
They don't need to make a move right now. The roster is currently at 39, so Teoscar will put it at 40. And Roki Sasaki won't need to be added to the 40-man roster until later in spring training, so he won't take a spot. Tanner Scott and/or Kiké Hernandez would require a corresponding move, and like I said a week or two ago, it wouldn't shock me if the Dodgers agree to a deal with Kiké but don't make it official until spring training when they can open up some spots with the 60-day IL.
@@LockedOnDodgers When I think about making Kike wait until spring, it reminds me of how interview about his FA and how it was tough being signed so late last season. So, I don't know if they'll really do that again. But it also makes me wonder how early can they announce a deal before making it official 🤔
The Dodgers themselves wouldn't announce it until it was official. But they could agree on a deal and the deal might leak out and then take forever to officially sign. I think the tough part for him about being signed late last season was the not knowing. If they were to agree with him and say "We'll make it official the first day of spring training once we can open up a spot for you," I think that eliminates any downsides.
@ryansotosanchez845 That's such a good, clever, original idea! It's frankly shocking to me that no one has made that suggestion before! I don't know how much you get paid, but go tell your boss I said you deserve double.
Ohtani is building a home in Hawaii. Speaking of income tax, Hawaii is similar to California, and Japan has even higher income tax than US. So your "reasoning" of him deferring his salary for 10 years in order to avoid income tax is false. You are projecting yourself on Ohtani.
It's not my reasoning, it's a common speculation that one of the benefits of deferred money is that you can move somewhere with lower taxes when you're collecting the deferred money. And even if Ohtani lived in Hawaii while collecting his deferrals, he'd save $884,000 per year over living in California. (There's also the fact that a rich person might want to have a house in Hawaii even if he didn't plan on living there full-time.)
@@LockedOnDodgers So you are basically saying that Ohtani chose to lose $24M/year due to inflation in order to save $884,000/year in income tax. Are you kidding???
Ohtani wouldn't have gotten $70M/year without the deferrals. And I'm not even remotely saying taxes are THE reason he did the deferrals. But it's crazy to think he won't give any thought to taxes when he's deciding where to live when he's collecting the deferred money.
@@LockedOnDodgers Once again you are projecting yourself on Ohtani and FO. Friedman and Roberts all mentioned to the reporters the $700M came before any deferrals. It was Ohtani who proposed it to help the team. I'll go with what they said.
And then there is Roki Sasaki? There's another roster spot, after spring training needed

The 40 man roster is full and who do the Dodgers cut or trade?

You should called your team Los Angeles “deferreds”
The wit of a wet ham sandwich.
Any team can do it but the problem is the player is the one that HAS TO AGREE TO IT but they ONLY DO IT for the Dodgers...
ask yourself that 🤔

Do you have a link to where they said that? Because I'm 100% sure you're wrong about that.
