    There are desperate teams out there.

    I’d take Stras in a second on a 4-5 year deal at a high AAV over a 7-8 year deal for Cole.

    Maybe Stras will accept in exchange for being close to home.

    • Dodgers are telling teams that Gavin Lux is not available.
    • Teams are reporting that AJ Pollock and Joc Pederson are very available in trades.

    i love joc because he shows up in the postseason
    but his inability to hit lhp is a huge liability
    pollock... whoever wants him
    i like lux but i’d ship him in the right deal (ie: betts)

    I mean instead of going after Harper, they sign a head scratching deal for AJ and now he’s trade bait?

    WTF!!!!!!

    In the name of Jesus and Mary, what is this FO’s “strategy”?!?!

    so much for Cole going for 245
    this is insane
    that contract is definitely going to be an albatross going forward

    Just get Rendon

    we’re not getting Cole and we have a million starting pitchers

    our offense not showing up and our bullpen sucking ass has been our downfall

    This deal is coming with “significant” deferrals.

    Cole is expected to sign fairly quickly according to Morosi.

    Cole to the Yankees with a ridiculous contract feels like a lock....

    Strasburg 7 years and he's the same age as Kershaw? Wow. He definitely came through at the right time, pitched amazing in the post... but man...

    Now that players value up-front money, for teams flirting with the salary cap it would make more sense to front load contracts with a lower overall number and AAV. I've yet to see a team do this though.

    If I were confident the front office would spend the money on our guys, I’d say I’d rather have Donaldson and use the $120 million more for re-signing our best players.

    But since they never spend money I’ll take what I can get

    A great deal less innings on the arm, and obviously, Stras' stuff is currently far superior

    It's a fantasy but if we can get either Rendon or Donaldson for a 4 year deal regardless of the AAV I'll be as happy as a pig in slop.
