Hard to get mad at the Dodgers for making a good trade. Every other team had the chance to beat the offer.

He's a rental, free agent in off season but I have no doubt that they will sign him to some ten year deferred deal.

It doesn't help the rest of the league when MLB agreed to stupid deals like this

Because the Dodgers went bankrupt, MLB agreed to tax their TV money as if they were still a broke.

That lets the Dodgers keep about $66 million more every year than they otherwise would.

This exception runs through 2039, according to a league source.https://t.co/iRSaxeDoyT pic.twitter.com/80nDyCOA0L

Do we need a salary cap?

So how long until the great vampire squid jams its money sucking blood funnel into Mark Walter's Dodger's now that it has him on the run?

*Props to Matt Taibbi for the analogy

3-1.

Prior to that, they had a big losing streak. Please note that the Dodgers are managing their roster, mainly their pitching staff including relievers, to win in the postseason. They aren't pulling all stops to win each game in a 162 game season. Frankly, they would have gone 0-10 if they didn't get to play the Royals, who are as bad as the giants.

.Milwaukee 4
Dodgers 1

Brewers hit the fewest HR's in all of baseball.
Had 2 tonight against the Dodgers.

Jacob Misiorowski 12th win of the season
Lead series 2 - 1

Meanwhile, Joshua Baez for the Cardinals, a 2nd round pick hits 3 HR's in his MLB debut.

Never been done before.

Would be 2-1 Dodgers series lead if it were a playoff series. Besides a shaky closer not pitching yesterday, Wrobleski would either have some time off before to correct his recent slump or get moved to the bullpen come playoff time.

"Before Saturday, only two MLB players had gone yard in their first two at-bats, let alone three: Bob Nieman of the St. Louis Browns (1951) and Keith McDonald of the Cardinals (2000). That's right, three players have homered in two straight at-bats to start their careers, and all three played in St. Louis."
