I think Judge to LA is wishful thinking. Most of the time people will always use LA as leverage to get their bag.
Would be a waste of Mookie’s talents
Big fat no to Aaron Judge. deGrom is the big free agent to target
Just saying- if Gallo, Kimbrel, and Turner don’t come back that’s like $40-46m per year freed up.
Let Frisco pick him up I want Ohtani on this team
I remember Friedman mentions their perspective is not just year to year, but they make moves based on 3 to 5 year cycles. Probably due to the approximate time it takes for young players from the farm to take the place of departing veterans. I don’t think we sign Judge(still a possibility to explore), but I think we have a similar off season to the one we had after the 2018 season.
Dodgers didn’t go after any big free agents after the 2018 season (Machado and Harper). In fact they “downsized” by trading away Puig, Kemp, Wood and Farmer for 2 prospects which pissed off a lot of dodger fans at this time. However they had Verdugo, Will Smith, Gonsolin and May ready to fill holes that were departed. Then made small moves for Pollock and Kelly to patch up holes. Which actually led to a better 2019 team than the 2018 team.
It’s been about 5 years since that time and it seems like we are headed in that direction again with some call ups ready to replace departing players. Dodgers may have a similar “downsizing” as 2018 that’ll piss off a lot of people here, since I don’t see the Dodgers making a big splash this winter. However they’ll still be great and one of the best in baseball with Vargas, Busch, Miller and Stone waiting in the wings. I think Dodgers make similar moves in the free agent/trade market this winter as we did when going after Pollock/Kelly. I expect the sub to get pissed this winter, but all will be fine around July.
As on judge another player who flames out every postseason is a perfect fit for the dodgers.
No. Next?
ohtani please. i’ll do anything. i’ll go door to door.
Mookie is nothing short of spectacular at 2B. I’m going to take it a step further, the dude has a cannon for an arm… if you are going to move Mookie, move him to fricken’ SS.
Wasteful. Also I’d bet my left nut on Judge not coming here
Do we need too?
Assume Cody is gone, who’s playing CF?
We didn’t pay mookie so much money to be a second baseman.
Let the kids play
Judge could be willing to sign for $10 and I still wouldn’t want him to come here. He’s a choker in the postseason. Does anything else matter?
SIGN OHTANI. The kid HAS NEVER WON A RING.
No. if we sign Judge he can go to Center field or Betts can go to Center, whomever has the better arm goes to Right.. Writing on the wall says we’re not resigning Bellinger, so we’ll likely need a outfielder to replace him
