An earlier commenter talked me into it

Appa Yip Yip

3:21

Freddie's parents are Canadian he has a truer home to come back to. True, north, strong, Freeman.

JJ

3:21

Rosenthal also implied that the Cubs shouldn't be counted out of Correa when talking about the Simmons deal, so its hard to beleive him right now.

Ben Clemens

3:21

I'm pretty sure that the Cubs have a person on the payroll who just calls every scoop reporter and talks their ear off about how they're in on the big names

Maybe they are!

But there's been SO much smoke for a team that isn't really trying to win in 2022 if you look at their roster

Dodger Fan

3:22

Am I crazy for thinking that we don't need Freddie and that we should spend the money on a starter instead? We should have JTurner DH pretty often and I still want to give Lux a bit of a leash.

Ben Clemens

3:22

You wouldn't be... if there were starters to fill this voi

void*

The starters are all gone

3:23

If I use the Roster Resource Free Agent Tracker (and I will, because it is great)

Let's see... Tyler Anderson?

Zack Greinke?

Danny Duffy?

The pickings are slim

Matt (Oceanside)

3:23

I love the "what-if" game....sooo....If the Dodgers sign Freeman and trade for for Castillo from Cincy...annnd the Astros re-sign Correa....and they meet in the world series this year...who ya got Ben???

Ben Clemens

3:23

Dodgers

ez

3:24

I just think the Dodgers are a better team now... and they're getting more players

:)

3:24

with brady coming back, it got me thinking about mj, which got me thinking about dion and bo which got me thinking about what current mlb player would be the best 2 sport athlete? my knee-jerk reaction was judge

Ben Clemens

3:24

Judge seems like a solid pick

Buxton

I can't prove this but Jacob deGrom

Matt (Oceanside)

3:25

What would the Dodgers have to give up to acquire Castillo from the Reds? Would Pepiot, Outman, and Busch get it done? Dodgers seem to have a really good stable of prospects with an underrated system, no? THANKS BEN!!!!

Ben Clemens

3:25

To be honest, I have a tough time figuring out prospect returns involving the Dodgers

3:26

They have an interesting mix of guys who look like high-probability major leaguers to me without a ton of top-of-the-market standouts currently in the minors

Obviously Smith and Lux have graduated

But If I'm Cincy I hang up unless they put Busch and Miguel Vargas in the deal

3:27

You have to squeeze LA when you trade with them for something they need, imo

Dodger Fan

3:27

Also: where's the Kenley Jansen news?

Ben Clemens

3:27

No idea!

I'm surprised we haven't heard more

Jordan

3:27

Trout is build like a linebacker, he could be a 2 sport star, he's very Bo'ish

Ben Clemens

3:27

Three years ago I just would have said Trout

If it's peak physical Trout, I'm in still

3:28

I don't want him playing football though

M’s Fan

3:28

is dipoto’s openness a problem? He sets expectations sky high….and if he disappoints, people will be calling for his head.

Ben Clemens

3:28

I think that's good, to be honest

Is it a problem for him? It might be
