Dave Robert’s confirms Dodgers met with Ohtani So none of y’all heeding his word of shut the f*** up Sounds like every team in the running kept quiet, including the Dodgers front office, but Dave Roberts had his own plans for some reason. I mean I don’t think that will stop Ohtani from signing with the Dodgers if that’s what he wanted to do but stupid to even do that when “no comment” was right there.

So Dave Roberts wasn't satisfied with engaging in endless stupidity on the field. Now he's engaging in endless stupidity off the field as well.

The centerpiece of the Mookie trade going to the Yankees? Yeesh.
Also, my Cards fell to 7th in the draft while the team that beat them most of the season ended up 2nd. f*** the lottery.

Yankees still need another OF
It doesn’t take them out the Soto trade but they aren’t forced to make a move they don’t want to
I’m never in favor of trading majority of your top prospects when a player is one year away from FA. Rather just sign him potentially for the money next offseason and lose a pick

Nothing like Bob Nightengale almost being sent to the floor by Jed Hoyer after his tweet that Cubs are 100% out on Ohtani and that the front office has balked at him wanting over 500 mil. Just caus a drunk Ryan Dempster probably went "psshh, he wants 500 mil?? nobody should get that kind of money" when you bothered him watching hockey at the hotel bar, doesnt mean thats what the actual Cubs main front office people think since according to other reporters none of Bob's sources are directly involved with anything with Ohtani and are just more "in title only" members of the front office like all the former players that work for us.

Fairly or not, Dave Roberts is about to be the most hated man in LA if they don’t get Ohtani lol. Blue Jays rubbing their hands together right now.

Really surprised we got Verdugo for pretty much nothing, though it is a one year rental.

If Verdugo is a bust, he's gone after this year.

If Verdugo is a bust, he's gone after this year. Which is why I’m not mad at it. They got a lefty and a solid corner outfielder. Filled two needs. Still need another OF and a P. Verdugo doesn’t stop them from making more moves

Verdugo was in Alex Cora's doghouse with his lack of hustle at times as well as showing up late on a couple of occasions. What worries me is that while Verdugo has never reached his potential he's played well in Yankee Stadium. I'm hoping this is a prelude to a big move by the Sox because the return is underwhelming.

Soto the Yankees looks like it’s getting closer to happening based on social media (Jack Curry and others). If the Yankees end up with Soto and Yamamoto, along with Verdugo (who should benefit playing in YS), then can’t really complain about that. I guess it depends on who is going to the Padres in a Soto trade. Then again, Cashman can’t develop prospects to save his life so trading a bunch of them to take advantage of Judge and Cole’s prime years makes sense at this point.

People are still going to complain cause then they going to say he was too cheap to get Ohtani along with the other players

Don't know if this is the place to do it, but the MLB is totally rigging their draft lottery.
