    The #Bluejays are paying $16.4 million of remaining $20 million of Russell Martin’s contract, #Jays say. It means they will be paying $54 million this year to players to NOT play for them including Troy Tulowitzki with #Yankees
    20,000,000-16,400,000 = 0:scratchchin:

    He's owed 3.6M more than his AAV. The Dodgers are on the hook for that 3.6M difference, but the 16.4 AAV is being covered by the Jays. A few people have said this is the case, so I am just going on that.

    I just went through power RHH OF options on the trade market and holy shit is that thin in the talent department... It is Nick Castellanos, Mitch Haniger and that is it and neither of those two are said to really be "available". I kinda see why Pollock is a consideration at this point... Fuck, go get Harper for gods sake.

    The whole Puig/Kemp/Wood trade makes no sense unless we get a Harper, Kluber, or Kimbrel. Pollack just isn't gonna cut it.

    We have a hole we created in RF, we desperately need a reliable SP, and Jansen is just not that guy anymore. You can argue Jansen and Kershaw are most to blame for coming up short in the WS the past two years.

    So what is this FO thinking. Just money?

    After Martin and with the arb agreements, Dodgers’ CBT payroll is at roughly $181.4 million for 17 players (includes cash in/out, plus Bailey, Utley & est. team benefits). 2019 tax threshold is $206m

    It would be weird if he had a Villar Dodgers shirt.

    It's safe to say he has plenty of Villar Brewers and Villar San Antonio Missions gear.

    It's the Machado camp. Obviously it's bullshit. Also, wouldn't be surprising if the mystery team is actually 7 teams, the Phillys and ChiSox are really out, and Machado wants to pitch next year.

    According to @JP Morosi, #Dodgers VP Andrew Friedman was just spotted at an LA restaurant (Roscoe's) speaking with former Dodger 1Bman James Loney.

    Offseason picking up!

    Could be worse. Picked a random lineup from 2012 on baseball reference.

    Gwynn CF
    Herrera 2B
    Abreu LF
    Ethier RF
    Sands 1B
    Sellers SS
    Kennedy 3B
    Treanor C
    Capuano P

    When you combine a shitty roster with #DBBsundaylineups.

    The next day was better though. Regulars like Juan Rivera and Jerry Hairston were back!
