Yoshinobu Yamamoto to...the Dodgers? Really? Again?

The Mets collapsing on themselves is pretty hard to beat in terms of schadenfreude, but the 2024 Dodgers going out in the NLDS to the Reds would give it a run for its money.

Mets out-Metsing themselves by somehow turning a 101 win roster into a 75 win roster after spending $500 million free agency was pretty sensational stuff.

Dodgers better hope for no injuries and that these guys play up to their contracts..

My bad

Just like that the Dodgers have completely cornered the Japanese market. I think a 27 mil aav will end up being a steal for them.

What will the Dodgers excuse be when they fall short again?

Dream teams don't work in pro sports.

Here’s to hoping they end up horsefeathers and it blows up in their faces.

Yeah just ask the…Dream Team

[JHBulls]

A sure fire way to make this fail is to unleash a couple of the Kardashian’s onto Ohtani and Yamamoto.

I guess the Yankees lost the "evil empire" tag years ago, so someone had to take up the slack

It's true the Dodgers could comfortably beat Angola, probably Yugoslavia too.

[ToolDRT]

Probably best we don’t wish the dodgers to fail. If they do, dumb and dumber will just use that as an excuse to never spend again.

I'm seriously pondering giving up baseball at this point. 1 billion on 2 players.

[Bertz]

The meltdowns this is going to cause are going to be pretty great

[s2obed]

It’s great to make fun or think it’ll be funny when the Dodgers don’t advance from the first round of the playoffs but I’d love for that to be the Cubs. A consistent playoff contender with a chance to win the WS. Jealous here.

[ToolDRT]

I can’t help but fantasize the cubs had the dodgers offseason. Very hard not to be jealous of them right now.

Doesn't feel this way because the Dodgers have made a number of expensive moves, but both New York teams still have a higher LT payroll than the Dodgers.  It took this move for the Dodgers to pass the Braves.

[ToolDRT]

Wonder if the market really speeds up now, or if Christmas slows it a little longer.

I was going to say the Dream Team’s competition are farmers and plumbers from Angola and Tonga. I sure hope we don’t have any Angolan’s on here.

Just checking in to see if we are still trying to emulate the Dodgers... anyone got an update?

I may be Korean but please spell out Japanese instead of using the abbreviated term. Thank you.

[ToolDRT]

Meanwhile, the giants have had a couple tough offseasons huh? Can”t seem to quite finish off the mega deal.

Sorry didn't mean to offend

Yamamoto took the Met offer, ran it to LAD and they matched it. He completely used the Mets, which would usually be funny to me, but I hate the Dodgers more.
