The Dodgers have lost 11.5 fWAR between both Turners, Bellinger, and Heaney, and as far as I can remember have done nothing to positively replace it outside of picking up Syndergaard. Meanwhile the Padres signed Xander (6.1 fWAR), Carp (2.3 fWAR), and will get a full year of out Soto in 2023 instead of just a couple months.

They only lost 11.5 fWAR if you presume the players replacing them will be 0 fWAR players

Granted, I can't say much about that since I don't know the Dodgers roster construction but IIRC Lux is Turner's replacement and he's a pretty nice young player

I will definitely take the Over on Dodgers wins from that tweet, but it is kind of wild how unsettled their defensive alignment is now without Belli and the Turners.

Will Carroll has tracked MLB injuries for like two decades, he's plugged-in. Nationals are almost for sure because it's known that they've been up for sale for over a year. The other team is probably the Angels, because Arte Moreno has been fielding offers for almost two years. Dark horse could be the A's or possibly even the Red Sox, since John Henry's been considering getting out of the MLB game for five years.

If Henry isn't willing to open up his wallet when he owns a team like the Red Sox, then yes, he needs to sell to someone who will

Yeah, two team sales hardly seems far fetched consider the Nationals and Angels have been talked about for quite some time along with any other quieter ones, bored billionaires, or surprises.

He's a veteran player that, for all his faults, knows the grind and presumably has some wisdom to impart to younger players. If given the choice I'd prefer Mervis to platoon with Wisdom and Morel get a genuine shot at winning 3B, but I understand picking up Hosmer in a vacuum. Again though I don't think Ross would handle it well.

The Dodgers have lost 11.5 fWAR between both Turners, Bellinger, and Heaney, and as far as I can remember have done nothing to positively replace it outside of picking up Syndergaard. Meanwhile the Padres signed Xander (6.1 fWAR), Carp (2.3 fWAR), and will get a full year of out Soto in 2023 instead of just a couple months.

I think 90 wins for the Dodgers is an underestimate and 100 for the Padres is an overestimate, but also I think both teams will be closer than people think next year.
Also Fernando's return!

Fisher won't sell until the A's are moved, the man is hellbent on making everyone miserable solely because he didn't get everything he wanted on a stadium. Very glad we have a commissioner who is all about the game and not just enabling owners like Fisher

Agreed, but we shouldn't stop there. We should be also mad at the Astros about stuff all the other teams did. Historical teams too. Astros suck cuz of what the Black Sox did.

Heck why be limited just to baseball. We should be mad at the Astros for something the New Orleans Saints or Lance Armstrong did.

This is weaselly local sports podcaster speak. Saying the Dodgers would be a better team with Bauer but not himself saying he wants Bauer on the team, same with claiming anonymous players all are fine with Bauer.

He wants Bauer on the Dodgers but doesn't want the flak of coming out and saying it directly.

If the Dodgers are on the hook for his salary, the reason notto do "the probably most moral" thing which is not release him but never let him play is because he'd take up a spot on the roster?
