He has a large salary and doesn't hit anymore. Better to keep a young pitcher who can be useful or can be traded at the deadline.

Emmet Sheehan? Come on, I know Arenado wants to go to a contender, so I'm just trying to get something for him for something you obviously don't need.
Don't need and don't want him or his salary. Quit trying to meddle your bad over priced vets on us.

You just like all that hair.

You're damn right, I like that hair!

Meddle? Harsh, OS. Arenado was a Gold Glove candidate last year, and he'd definitely hit more homers in Dodger Stadium than Busch.

Peddle sorry typo

And no we don't want or need Arenado he's not worth anywhere near the salary he's getting. You mention May or Sheehan sorry you need to send us several prospects to make it worth getting him not to mention paying his salary. He is not worth it the Dodgers don't need him.

When they talk about a 6 man rotation, they never include Kershaw. I thought he was coming back this year.

Yamamoto Glasnow Snell Sasaki Ohtani (if he comes back to pitching) and Kershaw would be a hell of a 6 man rotation.

Dodgers ain't messing around. Gonna use 6 or 7 starters to take the strain off their arms. Hopefully that approach limits the injuries. They also know how important a good bullpen is. It saved them in the playoffs. Signing one of the top relievers just makes them that much better.

Now they're reporting the Dodgers are close to signing another all star reliever. Kirby Yates. Last year showed you can never have too much pitching. Bullpen games were a big reason for their championship run.

Its not done quite yet but they're reporting the Dodgers are finalizing the deal for Kirby Yates. Treinen, Tanner, Yates and some good young fireballers like Kopech and Graterol. Vets like Phillips and Vesia. If they can avoid a rash of injuries that bullpen could be really good.

Along with with proven starters like Glasnow, Yamamoto, Snell. Guys coming back from injury like Ohtani, May and Gonsolin. A plug and play young star like Sasaki. The only question is, how much room can you make on the roster for all that pitching?

Can never have enough depth. Guys will inevitably go down during the season.

This team has incredible depth, hopefully they do something that hasnt been done in what 25-26 years??

Keep hearing its in the process of being finalized but no confirmation yet on Yates. I wonder if there was an issue with his physical?
