@DMAC_LA
@JonHeyman said the Dodgers have checked in on Bo Bichette. If the Dodgers are going to sign one of the remaining big-name free agent position players, Bichette is the play.
Bichette > Tucker > Bellinger.​

bo and cody won’t sign before tucker
once tucker signs, everyone who missed out will go all in on bo and cody
my prediction… tucker to the jays, cody (back) to NYY, bo to LA

 

@DodgersNation
The Dodgers remain in the mix for BOTH Kyle Tucker and Cody Bellinger as we are an estimated 6 weeks away from Spring Training, according to Mark Feinsand.
It's a new year... does LA have another big splash in them before it's time to get ready for another season?​

yesterday it was tucker and bo
today it’s tucker and cody
never been a huge fan of dodgersnation, but sometimes they’ll get it right before everyone else
but until then i could really do without the shameless hack clickbait bs

 

So much clickbait these days, it's really annoying.

Still prefer they pass on both of the outfielders. Bichette could be good get, but to me would signal that management is no longer high on Kim.

 

or maybe they’ll give kim more opportunities all over the field this year, then next year move him to 2b and bo to 3b to take muncy’s spot

may explain why the jays have been quiet on the bichette front
not sure if this means they’re necessarily out on him and/or tucker

 

Jay's owner/s is/are not afraid to spend some money.

 

and yet somehow only the dodgers are ruining baseball smh

fuck it… let’s sign bo and tucker, and trade for skubal

 

@BlakeHHarris
The Okamoto signing is not nothing
Have to imagine this slightly increases the Dodgers' chances of signing either Kyle Tucker or Bo Bichette

 

I'm hearing more chatter about Cody maybe returning to LA. IMO, that would be a mistake that would dwarf the Conforto flub. First, Conforto was a one-year commitment. Bellinger wants seven but apparently is willing to settle for five. Second, Dodgers stadium doesn't have a short porch in right, so to expect that he repeats his 29 HRs from last year is a pipe dream. Fans that don't know better think he'll come back and magically reincarnate his 2019 season with the 8.1 WAR while ignoring that over has final two Dodger seasons he had a cumulative negative WAR. And lastly, there's got to be at least one or two from the group of outfield prospects that will make the leap in the next year or two. Do we really want them blocked by a hefty contract commitment to Bellinger for five years? I hope the decision makers factor all this in and opt to leave the Blue chapter in Bellinger's storybook closed.
