Dodgers sign Blake Snell 5-years, $182 million

[BigJay]

They definitely needed some starting pitching

Got lucky in the playoffs to get by without a ton of it

Rare achievement in postseason

 

[BigJay]

Maybe they won’t pull him after five innings if he’s in a key spot in the postseason like idiot Tampa manager did

 

[BigJay]

Dodgers can afford anything they want

Wouldn’t be suprised if they sign Soto too for $600 million or so

wow dodgers just spend spend spend

That will never be forgotten

He was mowing Dodgers batters down & Cash pulled him

One of the all-time skipper boner moves in MLB history

I wonder if they even tried to sign Burnes.
Maybe they were focused on LHP.

Snell seemed to be the best LHP out there.
Burnes is the top rated RHP.


List of Starting RHP free agents.
Nathan Eovaldi, Jack Flaherty, Luis Severino, Nick Pivetta, Shane Bieber, Walker Buehler, Kyle Gibson, Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer, Charlie Morton

A new World Series title is coming.

Even after this signing the Dodgers luxury tax bill is smaller than it was last year. If they could handle eating over $88 million in tax last year I would guess they would be willing to sign more players to handle a similar tax burden this season.

Well, more like they 'defer, defer, defer' as this is another of the deferred type deals.

Team is destroying baseball & itself

They might get Yankee slugger too

Morton is still around?

 

[stormtrooper8]

Snell is kinda washed

 

[Tanko]

Morton is still around?

41yo.
Still breathing so still pitching.
Pitched in 30 games for the Braves 4.19 ERA

 

[stormtrooper8]

Morton is very washed
