Yu Darvish has a 5.4 ERA in the postseason. He and Kershaw will get along just fine

will the doyers unironically win 117+ regular season games now?

>>77412626

Alright Dodger bros and potential trade bros. This is who I deem should stay with the Dodgers and who I would part with. Consider the trade a success for your team if your team gets as many of those prospects as possible.

Untouchable
>Buehler
Close to untouchable
>Verdugo
Almost a certainty to get traded, but very good as DH
>Calhoun
Dodgers should try to keep and teams should be happy to get
>Mitchell White, Keibert Ruiz, Will Smith, Yusnial Diaz, Yadier Alvarez, Dustin May, Jeren Kendall, Melvin Jimenez
Dodgers should look to trade as they are decent, but don't hurt to part with
>Dennis Santana, Gavin Lux, Jordan Sheffield, Trevor Oaks, Brock Stewart, DJ Peters

If it were me, I would absolutely not lose Buehler, White, Ruiz, and Verdugo. Buehler and Verdugo are obvious. Ruiz and White should shoot up by next season into the top 100. Borderline keeps are Alvarez and May. I would part with Diaz, Calhoun, Oaks, Sheffield, Santana, Lux, and Smith. They hold value due to when they were drafted (1st round), they're great but Dodgers are well covered in that position, and some are nice surprises that have raised their value.

Rangers bros. That's how you should assess a possible trade.

It's a win win for both teams. Calhoun is the best bat in the Dodgers system with avg, hardly any strikeouts, and power. He just sucks at defense. He's a straight up potential great DH. AJ Alexy could shoot up rankings in 2 years. I dont' know too much about Davis.

On the other, if the doyers somehow manage to not win now it's probably a greater choke than 2001 mariners since they'll certainly win more than 116 games. They'll never live it down especially on this board of all places.

>>77412810
Babby trade month is the comfiest month for trades.

>>77412746
Davis gives up too many big HRs out of nowhere and wasn't all that great in the playoffs. Maybe it was because he was #1 and he will be #2 in LA, so some pressure will be taken off.

But as a rental, the Dodgers made a good move in improving their chances at winning a World Series. Maybe a change of scenery will be good for Darvish.

Nice meming, but I've been talking up Calhoun for hours. He's a top 100 guy despite having garbage defense. That tells you how great his bat is.

For example, here is Verdugo and Calhoun stats.
>Verdugo: .326 avg, .843 OPS, 4HR 37Ks, 42 BB
>Calhoun .298 avg .931 OPS, 23 HR, 49Ks, 36 BB

Exactly as I advertised. I said it a while back that Rangers should be sucking our dicks for Calhoun. They were crazy for asking for Buehler, Verdugo, etc...

Excuse me for not following the blue gays to check how he's doing

Why is everyone acting like this is a bad trade for the Rangers? Everyone was selling low this deadline. They at least got something out of a guy who is going to become a free agent next year.

This also doesn't exclude them from the possibility that they just bring him back in free agency.

You'd have to think Yankees are the clear favorites to land Darvish as a free agent if they want him badly enough, but the Rangers are likely in a better position financially than the Dodgers to pursue Darvish as a free agent.

Dodgers already have an abundance of starting pitchers signed long term.

Darvish is an unnecessary luxury for them, while the Rangers and Yankees actually need starting pitchers. It would be downright idiotic in fact if the Dodgers dropped a huge contract on him instead of spending that money elsewhere.

Dodgers can't keep spending like they have forever. They've been operating at a major revenue loss for years now.

Cards fan? How is that going nowadays, you meth smoking faggot?

If you look back on the Dodgers playoff history this decade, it was full of umpiring inconsistencies

The Dodgers should've won last year were it not for the blown call at home, changing the momentum of the series in favor of the Cubs

The Dodgers should've won 2015 because of the inconsistent strike zone vs. Mets.

The Dodgers should've won in 2014 and 2013 against the Cards because the Cards were stealing signs and were hacking into other team's computers. They shouldn't have been allowed in the playoffs.

2008 and 2009, the Dodgers team was young

The Dodgers never actually tore down, which is required for rebuilding. You need to be a seller at some point. The Dodgers have a mix of good scouting and lots of spending money.

What the Dodgers did is equivalent to what the Boston Celtics did in the NBA - be a playoff team WHILE adding more youth

More teams should do that.

>>77414157
No they're probably legitimately serious since they're stressing out THE DODGERS/YANKEES ARE REBUILDING and also buying on some players now that they are in contention and spending the money to win NOW and not starting from scratch.

He acquired Hamilton, Cruz, and Napoli all through trades.

Also that Texiera deal remains to this day one of the most one-sides trades in recent history, so much so that it influenced the league as a whole to stop undervaluing prospects.

>>77414149
Buying and replacing injured/traded players with younger blood.

>>77414201
To be fair, be yankees started to rebuild but Sanchez, Sevrino, and Judge , hell even Frazier and Chad Green have really emerged. As well as Hicks early in the season. This year was supposed to be a wash.

Why do the Pirates dick around and refuse to go all in one way or the other. This team needed to tear everything down and rebuild and suddenly we added Joaquin Benoit who's 40. I hate this team!

>>77414226
And they also extended Jansen and Turner while have players (Kershaw, Hill, McCarthy, Maeda, Ryu, and now Darvish for pitching, Gonzalez, Puig, and others for hitting) in which money is being paid to them. A rebuild is using more than enough players under rookie contracts and nearly half of the Dodgers team is still under contract, not to mention they still owe leftovers out of baseball or on other teams money as well. Nice "rebuild" though, imbecile.

A rebuild is what the White Sox are doing.

Betances has a place, Gardner probably could be traded for another reliever if the offseason took place today, Headley won't be on the team much longer. You should sign a long term answer at first. Not to mention trading Hicks for a starter wouldn't be bad either.

>>77414347
Wouldn't be shocked if Hosmer is a Yankee next year. Hicks isnt getting traded though. The front office really loves him

What the Dodgers have done over the last 5 years is absolutely a rebuild. The way they did it (good farm system and buying out contracts mostly) is different from the way that the Astros did it, but that doesn't negate the end result: shitty team completely overhauls their organization and becomes good.

>>77414363

Eh, I'd put Yu over Nomo based off longevity. Nomo struggled with the Dodgers in his later years, bombed with the Mets, Tigers, and Devil Rays, and aside from a no hitter in Boston, he fell off. Darvish has multiple all star appearances and has been in Cy Young contention almost every year on the mound.

Any chance that Darvish is actually an elite hitter and he'll start mashing bombs for the Doyers?

What would you give for your team to be like the Dodgers are now?

>>77414442
Talking prime, not career stats. Yu's career isn't over yet, and Hideo accomplished a fuckton more in his window of success.
