    That if and when they don't get Harper doesn't bother me as much as it seems they were never serious players for him. That fucking pisses me off.

    We're the Dodgers, not the fucking Rays or A's.

    Trade is official
    Realmuto for Sanchez, Alfaro, Will Stewart and int'l bonus money. This package no longer looks all that otherworldly.

    We really have no idea how this FO is operating behind the scenes. Them being the first ones to meet with Harper tells me that they were aware of where things would go. For them to hear his demands and flat walk away would be a bit of a shock. I would guess that they still are hanging around, but maybe waiting until things get a little closer to the finish line. The talk all offseason has been that they like him on a short, high AAV deal and word today is that he may start to seek that, so who knows.

    RIP Frank Robinson
    Always could see him on the LAL broadcast in his seat at Staples. I fear Jack isn't far behind him

    Well since Sixto was included they would have had to start with either Verdugo or Keibert......but seeing Alfaro actually go in the mix kinda makes me feel we could have offered one of Verdugo/Keibert, Barnes, and say LHP John Rooney (MLB team ranked #20). Im sure something could have been worked out......as I type it, I kinda wish they would have made that offer, Im not super sold on Verdugo.

    It will interesting to follow both Keibert and Alfaro's development to really who made the right decisions. I also find it interesting that the Phillies who are basically all analytics all the time picked up by all accounts a mediocre to bad pitch framer. JT can rake though. So there are those reports again that I railed against on a previous post that are very likely bullshit that Bryce may sign for 3 years or shorter term. I say 3/103. Do it!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm honestly kinda torn on this deal... The floors of the Dodger prospects at the top are all fairly high. All 3 of the players going back to the Marlins have incredibly low floors, but Sixto has the highest ceiling over anyone the Dodgers have. Alfaro and Sanchez also already have massive red flags (Sanchez/Health, Alfaro/Bad D) so I feel that Verdugo or Ruiz are overpays in some regards. We just don't really have an idea of what the Marlins wanted as they apparently asked for Andujar/Sanchez from the Yankees and snubbed an Austin Riley led offer from the Braves. That ask from the Yanks is insane and I'd personally take Riley over what the Phils gave up. I love Verdugo, so I have a different point-of-view on him than you, but I also don't think he would have been the holdup on a deal. There had to be some bigger issues at play. That was something I had heard a few weeks ago was that Verdugo wasn't the issue, it was some other pieces the Marlins wanted. Whether it was Verdugo+ or someone other than him, likely Ruiz.

    I could never stand him for some reason. For me, he was like Puig is for so many other fans.

    A baseball bad ass. Took no shit from anyone, including Big D. Used to hang over the inside corner with his left elbow daring pitchers to knock him off the plate.

    Big D obliged.
