    My thought process also was that financially they can’t pay Mookie, Seager, Bellinger and Buehler all 20+ million a year at the same time for 5-7 years and I’d imagine with Corey being the closest to FA and a Boras client they’d choose to move him. It makes the most sense as much as I’d love to keep him.

    The absolute, most important subtraction from the team, aside and separately from financial considerations, is Dave Roberts.
    Singularly, the most causative factor for the team's lack of success overall from winning a championship.
    Maybe a jaundiced view because of personal prejudices, but in the short sample size displayed so far, he seems to be even worse displaying his foibles than ever before.
    When he was hired, did they think his mediocre career was some kind of credentials for a baseball guru and competent manager for a talented team like the Dodgers?

    Totally mind fucked.

    Night before last he swung at a first pitch fastball in the dirt from Ray with the bases loaded. He obviously had determined he was first pitch swinging. No other reason to swing at a fastball in the dirt.

    Fucked up swing......yes. But fucked up head, too.

    Should’ve appealed Dave’s one game suspension and tried to get it extended.

    I don't understand why DR is considered a good manager by so many - because the team keeps making the playoffs? I would argue that this stacked roster consistently reaches the postseason IN SPITE of Roberts. When is the executive office going to see that this window of opportunity is going to close without anything to show for it unless they get a real manager in his place?

    You may have hit on a note there..he really does seem to find this mental level every year.
    I don't think it's just an annual " getting started" thing, like so many others, because it's different every season with Bellinger. It is in his head.
    He may really benefit from counseling.
    Nothing to lose by quietly trying it, I would think. Don't have to put it on the News and FB, either...
    Or you could stay with your clean up MVP hitter with zero contribution offensively for your team.

    I just can't get too excited about Cody for the long term when he's been one of the worst postseason hitters in all of baseball. Absolutely abysmal. No denying the man's talent and he just won a freaking MVP but the Cody we are currently seeing is the Cody we've seen every year in the playoffs.
