UZR IS BULLSHIT posted:Part of me hopes the Dodgers miss out next year and have to rebuild. I can’t take another full season of waiting to see if we get wrecked in the WS again The emotional exhaustion is real, but I still want to see Kershaw win it all in a Dodger uniform first and foremost. It only feels like the window is closing because Kershaw is showing his age and the team wasn't as good this year as last. But they can and should win more than 92 games next year. We get Corey back! And Urias! bawfuls fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Oct 30, 2018 |

Vernacular posted:Yeah. I mean, losing these two WS's is crushing, but following roster construction throughout the year is still a source of enjoyment. I don't know how you can talk about Kershaw not being in this FO's price range. If this team can't retain a franchise icon like him then what's the point? I do hope they find a way to bring Ryu back, presumably they'd only do it with some playing time incentives. bawfuls fucked around with this message at 08:46 on Oct 30, 2018 |

I don't think he wants to leave, as much as some people seem sure he wants to go home to Texas. They'll work something out because failure to do so in the wake of back-to-back WS losses would be a PR nightmare for the franchise.

Julio Cruz posted:Half a season of an all-glove no-bat third baseman and half a season of an absolute baseball god is still valuable as hell. His wRC+ at home is 129. For context, Justin Turner's road wRC+ was 143 the last two years.

Arenado's career road wRC+ is 108. That's the same as Jurickson Profar this year, just behind Brian Anderson and just ahead of Matt Duffy. It is thoroughly mediocre. 3B who's road wRC_ was around 108 this year include Travish Shaw, Maikel Franco, and Mike Moustakis.

I agree that the hidden Coors effect almost certainly kills some of his road production. But his home production is still pretty pedestrian when you do even basic park adjustment. Arenado is a good player but he's not the borderline-mvp candidate people want him to be.

Bird in a Blender posted:Kershaw had 2 years left. Is this adding 3 to that, or just extending his 2 years by one more year? If he's getting paid until he's 35, I'd say this is a decent deal. If it's just adding one more year, this seems bad for Kershaw. He'll be 33 and have a history of injuries. It will be tough to get anything more than a year or two deal at that point. Although, maybe he's only thinking of playing until 35 or so. it's a steal

On why Kershaw didn't seek a longer deal: https://twitter.com/jphoornstra/status/1058496060857843712 As odd as that sounds, it is consistent with what he's said in the past. When he signed his 7 year extension with the current opt out, the Dodgers initially offered him $300M over 15 years but he expressed the same concern about not living up to such a long deal. Maximizing dollars does not appear to be at the top of his priority list. But crushing the haters sure is. https://twitter.com/BillShaikin/status/1058495115767963648 Kershaw likes being a Dodger, big surprise. https://twitter.com/BillShaikin/status/1058494646567895040 bawfuls fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Nov 3, 2018 |

The Pussy Boss posted:I think Kershaw loves the Dodgers and wants to spend his whole career there, has made $160 million already (~$260 million by the end of this extension), and didn't want to opt out a week after losing a second consecutive world series. Seems reasonable to me and I don't see how his decision affects how much money Patrick Corbin or anyone else gets.

The Pussy Boss posted:Dodgers and Yankees both stayed out of the luxury tax in 2018 and reset the penalties, and have infinity dollars, but I don't think either has room for Manny or Bryce? Unless like LA trades Puig or Bellinger, or the Yanks trade Andujar, or something wacky like that? Their outfield is not all that full. Kemp only has 1 year left and they were ready to DFA him this year if needed. Joc and Verdugo have been long-rumored trade bait (send them to Cleveland for some pitching imo). Hernandez, Taylor, and Bellinger all have infield flexibility to fill in the gaps. There is also a confirmed anonymous Dodgers front office employee who posts somewhat regularly to the Dodgers Digest comment section, who has indicated they are going after Harper.
