Dodgers who are sure of themselves, they are not in the process of not panicking on the deadline for trade and keeping the list almost intact. It is always the same group of guys chosen by most baseball experts to win a second consecutive championship.
The crises will pass. The injuries will disappear. Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Shohei Ohtani and the gang will be there at the end when he has the most.

Although I do not agree with his breathless feeling, I think Bill Plaschke is right to say that the Dodgers should have been more aggressive on the deadline for trade. It is a reasonable bet to believe that their launchers will remain in fairly good health, their strikers will be not traced and that Max Muncy will return and resume where he had stopped. But it is nevertheless a bet. And if you’ve already flowed $ 400 million in your payroll, what is another 10 to 20 million dollars for a eliminatory insurance policy: a closest and a better aerobatic?

On Wednesday against the Reds, James Outman tried to make the best imitation of Denzel Clarke-Cedric Mullins while trying to steal a circuit. Unfortunately, this last great effort has because the career of Outman with the Dodgers, because it was another case of “so close, but so far”, because the ball has landed the heel of the Outman glove for a triple of two points.
The recruit of the NL of the month in April 2023 is a great athlete, but it was understandable why the Dodgers exchanged him.

A few hours before the deadline for the baseball trade Thursday, the MLB network plunged into the way the best prospects for a minor league through baseball have succeeded in major leagues over the years, and it is a fairly dismal percentage. Very few continue to succeed in the careers of the big league, most of them simply go back and forth between minors and majors, move from team to the team, while many have simply deteriorated. They concluded that, given the possibility of winning a major quality league player, not to mention an All-Star by simply using your Draft capital is obvious. Padres are a team that firmly believes in it while dodgers always seem hesitant to do so.
They underlined the Dodgers with an aging Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Max Muncy and a Shohei Ohtani currently in good health of 31 years, the time to win is now and that the maintenance of all their recovery capital when it could be used to immediately strengthen the alignment does not historically or statistically make sense.

Well, the trade deadline has been passed without too much movement from the Dodgers. With their deep pockets, I thought they could have become the first organization in the history of the MLB to exchange an entire team.
