I'm sure the Dodger fan are handling the news much better this time around.

I agree that they aren't causing it. I do think they are causing a situation to come to pass that will be bad for everyone involved that isn't them (to include their talent). I also find their pro-china stance repugnant.

Haven't you learned your lesson about criticizing Roch yet?

What happens if they succeed? They win and the writers' contracts expire. What kind of pay cut are these guys going to see once the competition for their services is gone? How many will just be let go?

Shocking to find out teams cheat.

I wouldn't call any RP on the 40 getting called up aggressive. Tate got called up to eat a few innings.

He didn't in year one, boy did he not in year one. I don't recall anyone other than Grenier being aggressively promoted.

Just because a guy doesn't strike out a lot doesn't mean he takes a lot of walks or makes a lot of quality contact.

They had past history with Lowrie.

They aren't paying Iglesias as much as Villar would be making.

This could be where the Villar savings went.

What's the confusion? He was 19 and had a not particularly impressive season in short season ball. I don't think he's on the fast track to the majors at this point.

I'm not as high on Scott as I was once but he's still the type of arm you keep giving chances to as long as you aren't worried about being competitive. Does he still have that 100+ velocity?

But he isn't "getting close".

I question his hit tool. He certainly didn't light up the Arizona League at 19.

Witt isn't a lock.

I wouldn't call Bobby Witt jr close.

I don't think he brings enough back to be worth flipping.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/23/sports/the-athletic-newspapers.html Just in case folks were wondering why I was rooting against them.

I've kinda been rooting against The Athletic this whole time but I'm ramping it up after this latest news.

I did not think they would cut a check for 3M. Nice to see they did.

Did you pay him to do it?

Defense peaks early. His 2021 defense might very well be worse.

Roch seems like he might be the type to be easily angered for some reason.

What is he going to learn in AAA? He spends 2020 in AAA and what should we expect in 2021? Is he going to be improved as a hitter or fielder?
