And he\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JonHeyman\/status\/1978280316151148904\" rel=\"nofollow\">going to be making 4 million dollars at a minimum<\/a>. I don\u2019t hate having him for another season, but this is double what I think he\u2019s worth and considering this team\u2019s offseason budget is probably 5 million dollars, this is a really frustrating use of it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">You know all about what kind of player Hedges is; let\u2019s move on to greatness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Yamamoto\u2019s dominant complete game gives LAD 2-0 series lead<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">An expensive player pitched a fabulous game for an expensive team. This is how baseball games are won, and it\u2019s no surprise that the Brewers couldn\u2019t keep up with \u201ccomplete game 3-hitter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The dodger bullpen is complete crap, but when your starter goes 9 innings, uh\u2026 that doesn\u2019t matter. Home runs from T.O. Hernandez and Max Mundy <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com\/?id=1025X1734621&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mlb.com%2Fgameday%2Fdodgers-vs-brewers%2F2025%2F10%2F14%2F813034%2Ffinal%2Fbox\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">provided the offense<\/a>, and those costed LA a lot of money too. It is what it is. The sport needs a fairer system. Maybe they\u2019ll slump at a bad time and not win another championship.
