I'll still be on *here* probably, but I did open an account on bsky.

Feel free to add me there!

A salary cap will only heighten the Dodgers' advantages in areas like drafting and player development.

Where will the goalpost shift to next? It's unfair the Dodgers have so many smart execs so there should be a salary cap for front office employees?

[AT @BaseballWRLD_]

In January 2025, the Reds acquired Gavin Lux from the Dodgers in exchange for Mike Sirota and a Competitive Balance Round A pick in the 2025 Draft. The Dodgers used the pick on OF Charles Davalan.

Sirota (#14) and Davalan (#67) are now both Top 70 prospects in baseball. Lux had 0.3 War in his only season as a Red and is now a Ray.

Just insane stuff from the Dodgers

@bawfuls @rdotmethwani @Ski_Fish_Golf @ChadMoriyama There is no innings requirement for CYA, but I get what you mean by having more innings wouldn't hurt.

[brian @RunTheJules]

Spurs definitely have a glaring weakness in Kornet. Probably the single biggest area of need for them is the backup C slot.

[brian @RunTheJules]

This is what everyone was worrying about with Fox.

[brian @RunTheJules]

Unlike OKC, the Knicks have more size/physicality to deal with the Spurs

[brian @RunTheJules]

Hopefully this is another Game 1 loss where the Dodgers get all their bad luck out of the way before going onto win the series.

[brian @RunTheJules]

Annoying loss, but Roki continues to make strides

[brian @RunTheJules]

Based on his comments and him taking live batting practice for the first time, the guy is clearly in a mental rut.

Which is kind of crazy because he barely gets any attention/scrutiny being on this roster with all the big names.

[Bruce Kuntz @Bnicklaus7]

Kyle Tucker has so many at-bats where he looks simply overmatched

[brian @RunTheJules]

Been on record as being skeptical about keeping both Chet and JDub long term. This was foreseeable for a long while.

Obviously you're not trading BOTH guys for Giannis, but OKC needs to get assets back for one of them. Probably Chet.

[brian @RunTheJules]

Mind you, I tweeted this a YEAR ago

[brian @RunTheJules]

Chet just a little too soft and small

[Purple Drank @purpledrank0]

I see why the Phillies planned Christopher Sanchez to skip pitching this series as means of preserving his scoreless streak in tact. Smart play

[brian @RunTheJules]

@aurelianprime3 @ChadMoriyama You tweeting this during a time when Andy Pages is a legit NL MVP candidate... LMAO

[diem @teohtani]

Pause.

[brian @RunTheJules]

@dawgs4ever Thanks for proving my point

[brian @RunTheJules]

They're using the Dodgers to ragebait all the idiot fans into siding with billionaire owners, and it's going to work.

MLB response: ‘We appreciate the union making a set of proposals and we look forward to continuing the bargaining process and working towards solving the competitive balance problem our fans are telling us needs to be addressed. We understand their proposals are designed to benefit players. Unfortunately, they do not address and in fact exacerbate the competitive balance problem our fans are telling us we must address. The MLBPA’s proposal would reduce the amount transferred to lower-revenue Clubs, weaken the Competitive Balance Tax, and lead to even more payroll disparity than exists today. For example, under the Union’s proposal, the Dodgers would pay less in luxury tax payments, giving them an additional $70 million to spend on payroll.”

First article of the super fun draft collab with Lakers draft OG @CanyonDriver.

What should the Lakers do with the No. 25 pick?

The value, the history, the flexibility, and the different paths in front of the Lakers this offseason.

The one undeniable/consistent critique about LA is that they are an older and creakier team

[Chad Moriyama @ChadMoriyama]

Teoscar Hernandez has recently got hot, and now he has a hamstring injury.

[Chad Moriyama @ChadMoriyama]

MLB is literally playing into Dodger Derangement Syndrome so they can stabilize expenses and line go up more consistently without effort. And people are dumb enough to let it work, watch.
