If you heard Duquette's interview on 105.7 this morning, I do not think we are in the market for a starting pitcher anymore. He also made a point about how Miley wasn't just a 2 month rental. I would assume we are not in on Hellickson at all at this point.

hahaha who didn't think of this joke. duh. Be original. Plus you don't follow the minors.

I thought of it, but not at all as a joke. If Philly doesn't move Hellickson, they can give him a qualifying offer and get a compensation pick. Why would they trade him for somebody who isn't going to be as good a prospect as the guy they draft with the compensation pick? What you've proposed is a bad fantasy baseball trade offer. Throw out guys you don't mind losing in hopes the other guy is stupid enough to give you back somebody good.

The dodgers could have 8 outfielders in about 10 days.

Howie Kendrick

Joc Pederson

Yeisel Puig

Scott Van slyke

Josh reddick

Andre Either

Trayce Thompson

Enrique Hernandez

I wouldn't mind Van Slyke as a replacement for Reimold. Even with the poor season he's having, he's still hitting LHP at a pretty decent clip.

Do your homework. Brian Gonzalez has the same value as a comp pick would have and probably a little more.

There is no collective bargaining agreement signed after this season. There is no guarantee of a QO system. The players want to get rid of it. There are multiple teams interested in Hellickson. He will be moved.

People thought DD was dumb for trading Ed Rod for Miller. The giants just traded their number 1 prospect for Will Smith.

Smith is cheap though and has more controll time not a rental but still a high price Bickford is ranked in top 100 prospects.

      Snell vs Burnes

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I also went with Burnes because of his better durability. Since 2019 Snell has pitched more then 128 innings in a season one time (180 innings in 2023). While Burnes has pitched over 167 inning or more every season since becoming a full time starter in 2021. Burnes is also two years younger so in theory while a six year contract is riskier it would end at the same age as Snell on a four year deal. I'd be happy with either one, but my preference in Burnes.

      Adding that I would go for Roki over either of them.

      I'd go for Snell. He has true Cy Young stuff. Burnes is really good but his K rate keeps dropping and the years scare me. The box score for his playoff start was solid but he actually gave up a lot of hard contact. I just don't trust him enough to commit all those years and dollars.

      I go Burnes because to me the higher floor is very important with this sort of deal. I feel like Snell's skillset is more on a razor's edge-- if you didn't like how Burnes pitched in August, Snell is almost certainly more prone to stretches of poor performance like that. Even if he is more dominant at other times to balance it out. Plus, the extra length of Burnes' deal is offset a bit by being 2 years younger.

      Snell is injury prone and Burnes is a tough workhorse.

      Didn't see the video? The ball went maybe 15 feet before it bounced, it was rolling by the dugout.  It was nothing and the Dodgers look soft. Was he supposed to let the discarded ball stay on the field?

      Rojas pulled from the bases in the 3rd inning after he couldn't manage 2nd to home on a Mookie single (and Ohtani couldn't 1st to 3rd behind him) as the Dodgers try to dig out of 6-1.    Rojas' limited mobility hurt the Dodgers defense on a Bogaerts ground ball where Merrill was too quick going first to second, and Rojas ended up getting no outs on a routine ground ball. Manny with a cagey zigzag baserunning move during the Padres 6-run inning off Buehler, getting into Freeman's throwing lane to put Buehler into the jam. Teoscar grand slam brings it back to 6-5 in the 3rd inning...get your popcorn ready.
