Is Joe Smith good? I'm kind of pissed

Chic/a/go Cubs!

Why the fuck is it taking so long to report what the Dodgers gave up for Yu?

Apologize

Rest day

Willie Calhoun to Texas

>Dodgers fans just as butthurt about people bringing up their playoff chokes on mlbtraderumors as they are on here

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?

97

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.

Why the fuck are we buying.
You fucking kike Angelos. Beating the >rags in two series does not = playoffs run.

Any trade involving the Rangers is pretty much always gonna be reported by Rosenthal first.

Him and Rangers FO have a good working trust with each other.

he's fucking amazing you piece of shit casual. i hope he sidearm fists your ass

>dodgers didn't have to trade buehler, verdugo OR alvarez

AHAHAHHAAHHAHHA

farhandrew a fucking GOAT

>Fucking Rags

calhoun I'm going to miss because he is too fucking slow to defend but man is his bat special

literally nobodies are the next two

rangers got desperate

I meant I'm mad he's all >we got. We also needed a fucking lefty especially with Boone ded

...

hahamind

Guess it was a buyer's market this year. Figures >we were on the outside looking in.

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.

Satan please collect dues from our owner

>Kershaw/Darvish/Wood/Hill
Nobody can score on this staff. Dodgers will win the world series, guaranteed

>Calling shots in October when it isn't even August yet

Boy I feel like you people do this every year

last digit is yu darvish's earned runs in his first start as a doyer

holy shit i am very pleased with this trade

lol stop trying to pump up calhoun and make ragsbros on here. absolute negative garbage on defense with no position and a 55 hitter for a 22 y/o. he will never play for an NL team. he aint shit

farhandrew robbed the rags

I wait until it's in the bag. And it's in the bag. the Dodgers WILL be 2017 World Series champions

Somebody please redpill me on A.J. Alexy and Brendon Davis

Doesn't have >1 GS

brendon davis is like the 20th best position player prospect in the dodgers system and alexy is like the 12th best pitcher. neither are anything

Which players will now get traded during babby waiver month? Neil Walker seems like a lock.

Darvish is shit too and you only have him for 2 months. Enjoy missing the playoffs spic.

On one hand, lmao Doyers win pack it up boys see y'all in 2018 it was fun playing.

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.

...

Miguel Gonzalez

Babby trade month is the comfiest month for trades.

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.

>yanks rob the pathetics
>if the prospects are good they will just resign with the yanks anyway because no one wants to stay with the jokeland cuckletics

LMAOOOOOOO

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...

>missing the playoffs

what did he mean by this

Kill yourself

>darvish going from AL to NL
>from 3rd worst framing catchers to best framing catchers in baseball
>from texas babby stadium to pitchers park dodger stadium

confirmed for no runs earned ever and 1 million Ks

You're retarded. Alexy is 12th because he's so young. He's in the same spot as Dustin May essentially. The closer you are to bigs, the higher up you go as obviously you get better and you get closer to contributing.

Stop trying to meme you faggot. I'm happy we didn't give up Mitchell White, Alvarez, May, and Jimenez as pitchers, but you really don't know what you're talking about.

So Dodgers - KC WS?

people who know much more than the dodgers farm system than your memey r/dodgers ass could not give less of a fuck about alexy and davis. Rangers got fucked. stop trying to be all "aw shucks we gave up some good'uns!"

>showing the cub series against one of the most injured team to play in the playoffs EVER

Except they didnt. Fuck off.

Who the fuck said I cared about losing them you dumbass? I just don't think it's a bad trade for the Rangers because they get something in return for a rental. I said it was a win win for both teams.

How did the Rangers get fucked? Maybe if you thought they legit had a chance at getting Buehler, Alvarez, and Verdugo. lmao

Not the guy you'really talking to, but wasn't Darvish a free agent after this year? They weren't going to resign him and they might as well get something for him now then just let him walk away for nothing.

As much as I liked Yu the condition of the Rangers org is just window closed get farm up again like it used to and try again so the trade needed to happen. So many missed opportunities with other players and patchwork failure the past few years. Theres good players on the international market that can can get got. Gimme dat Shohei Ohtani.

He was elite for us from 2009-13 you fucking newfag.

I'm already miserable, please don't drag us any more into this.

Dodgers and Red Sox World Series now. Idk if we can beat the Doyers, they are loaded as fuck now. We will struggle to score any runs desu.

>players never drop off
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.

WTF the Germans didnt bomb Peral Harbor.

>Kershaw
Greatest player ever
>Wood
Greatest player under 25
>Darvish
Greatest Iranian player
>Hill
Greatest player over 35

means he's more concerned about the doyers' fans than how the actual playoff system works.

...

>Germans bombed Pearl Harbor
>the city of American education

People just want to declare a winner and a loser. It's like that with all trades in sports

I'm guessing for now we drop Olsen back to Columbus to add Smith to the 25 man, but what about when Tomlin gets back?
