Bring back Bully Hendry, that guy wasn’t afraid of signing free agents.

It appears the Dodgers are not afraid of the luxury tax the way the Cubs are. They figure things out.

MLB is a shit show. None of this is healthy for the league.

On the flip side, the entire country now hates the Dodgers. Kind of like those old Steinbrenner Yankees.

Your 2024 LA Dodgers

These huge spending teams also have a way of not being able to completely put it together.

.

Especially with LeBaby in right. You know he'll boot a ball in the playoffs and have to be carried off the field.

Jesus catching, huh? Probably wouldn't wear gear, right? Just take it on the chin for mankind. Get killed and 3 days later he's back in the lineup.

Heyward's leadership would be credited for being responsible for Jesus performing miracles.

I see at least two (ass)holes in that lineup and one hole they will all be trying to fill. Huge chemistry problems on this team.

Jesus catching and giving signs might be confusing. The pitcher may be asking for a sign from Jesus and freak out if a swarm of locusts fly into the stadium or keep shaking off the signs from Jesus if he is Jewish.

Santa will absolutely rake at 1B but how will the clubhouse feel when he brings his elves into it?

Don't like the Joker in LF. Rather have Harley Quinn for obvious reasons in the LF and her bat skills are second only to Batman in the DC world.

T.Swift's ball handling skills are top notch. Gold Glove level. Does get traded a lot though and airs all the teams dirty laundry in her walk up songs.

Team could be cursed with TWO goats in the outfield. What happens if Jordan punches Jesus in the face in batting practice because Jesus swings like a pussy and Michael wants to trade him for the Devil? Will god retaliate and have Jerry Reinsdorf and Virgina Mccaskey team up and buy the Dodgers?

Lebron will demand to have his innings limited and have to platoon with some scrub off the bench like Usher.

Don't see this team winning the World Series without a miracle from God. Jesus has a history of taking one for the team, so who knows.

You raise legitimate concerns. Plus you still have Dave Roberts in the dugout. Ohtani can pitch and hit, which leaves Mookie to DH for Michael. Maybe Phil Jackson can be hired as the bench manager to soothe egos. If I squint I can see 101 wins.

The Joker in left is a wild card.

that's all great. not sure how denying women the right to vote in the 1888 election and the meghan jones hire as 'VP of strategy' help the cubs in 2023.



i never would have asked him that question. 6 people mused this on twitter and the author frames this as the general public demanded to know if the cubs missed an opportunity to make a 19th century injustice a 21st century atonement?

Cubs sign Shota Imanaga per Nightingale

30-yr old known as the "Throwing Philospher." He'll fit right in with The Professor.

Shut the fuck up

cub fans are scrambling to come up with some thinly veiled racist nickname they can slap on a t shirt and sell on opening day

I'll try to come up with something good

Crafty rag arm.

Contract sounds complicated…could be $80m over 4-5 years with incentives or $30m over 2 years with opt outs.

I love that cheesy Nerds movie. It's great when the Japanese kid is looking for a place to stay and knocks on the home of a Japanese homeowner. The homeowner says a bunch of crap in Japanese and ends with the word "nerd".

the entire movie is fun and relatebly sweet

They really don't make teen movies like that anymore. I may be wrong but I'd say the last good one was Superbad.

hoyer playing with fire. looks like the dodgers are going with mid 30s y/o muncy at 3rd, were not interested in keeping the relatively cheap busch to alleviate their exploding payroll. to me, somewhat telling. cubs also have up and coming 20/21 y/o triantos at 3rd. dodgers were always good at having their prospects over-valued.

cubs were really high on ferris and ferris didn't disappoint with his first pro year. dodgers hot for ferris. history tells me to trust the dodgers with this - ferris, power lefty for the future and not the cubs - 26 y/o busch breaks out in 2024. hope i'm wrong, worst and likeliest scenario is that busch is a younger wisdom. back to a log-jam...busch/wisdom/madrigal. obvious the cubs do not want morel in the field.
