2024 Dodgers thread

[snackdaddy]

Dodgers signed one of the top Korean players Hyeseong Kim. You never know how their game will translate to the MLB. But there have been some pretty good Korean players in MLB. He'll be playing middle infield likely. A .300+ hitter who won their version of the gold glove. And can steal bases. Might be a good move. Still want Sasaki. That would be the icing on the cake.

And Kike

And Kike

Yeah, Kike's a fan favorite. Batting average is always below par but seems to come up with big hits at the right time.

So Lux is not longer a Dodger. They trade him to the Reds for a couple prospects. I guess he was the odd man out after signing the Korean star.

Still holding hope for Sasaki. They say the Dodgers and Padres have the best odds of landing him. Some say its a toss up. But if you tell the sources to pick one, most seem to think it will be the Dodgers. I hope they're right. This kid has some electric stuff. 100+ mph fastball to go with a nasty fork ball. Dodgers brass think he could end up the best pitcher in the league. And he'll only be 24 this year.

Specifically, the Dodgers get Mike Sirota, who was a top prospect in 2023, but slid a bit in 2024 before he was drafted, can play center. They also get the Reds pick at #37 and more importantly some money that can be used for Sasaki.

Sirota was a prospect the Dodgers heavily scouted and were very interested in during the draft.
