🚨 My Dodgers offseason agenda 🚨:
Re-sign: Tarik Skubal, Alex Vesia, & Evan Phillips.
Let loose: Kiké, Bubic, Lauer, Treinen, Graterol.
Trade: Teoscar & Glasnow. Add Jeremy Peña.
Sign FA: RHP Jason Adam
Non-tender: Call, Bobby Miller, Kopp
DFA: The Muse & Sleeper accounts.
Some of you Coachella newbies need a history lesson.
1. Madonna not headlining isn’t a diss. It’s an ode to when she performed in the Sahara tent in 06.
2. Sza performing Sunday isn’t the weak headline slot. Closing out the festival is a sign of respect.
🚨Important Dodgers offseason notes 🚨
⚾️ All signs point to Dodgers hoping Tarik Skubal falls into their lap. Won’t engage in a long-term deal.
⚾️Jeff Passan wrote this offseason could mirror how the Dodgers approached entering 2023 (not great)
⚾️ Dodgers looking for right-handed short-term infield depth. Mookie will be the SS.
⚾️Dodgers open to dealing Teo & Glasnow
Dodgers won’t show their cards but they want Skubal and Skubal wants them. Makes sense that they’d trade Tyler Glasnow to free up salary and dump a bad contract.
@Braden_4198 Durability matters more in the long run. He doesn’t provide that. 2 of the 3 postseason runs, he was a non factor. Overpaid contract for 12 starts a year. He’s worth trading to afford Skubal.
Dodgers aren’t losing Tarik Skubal unless Mark Walter lied and actually is in financial hardship. Skubal would make a catastrophic decision going to New York.
NEW: The New York Mets are HUGE favorites to land Tarik Skubal this offseason, via Kalshi:
55% — Mets
23% — Dodgers
6% — Padres
5% — Unsigned by March 25th
4% — Cubs, Angels
2% — Yankees, Brewers
I’m really sad that Mike Trout chose to waste his entire career with the Angels. He had a better career than Aaron Judge. Also just the better talent in his prime.
No surprise that the Cubs are too cheap to pay Tarik Skubal. I can’t envision Skubal opting to pick a wasteland that is the Mets when the Dodgers can offer him Beverly Hills.
