The Dodgers have issued qualifying offers to Corey Seager and Chris Taylor. Both rejected them, as expected.
As of a week ago the Dodgers seemed to express some interest in several members of the Reds’ pitching staff, Luis Castillo and Sonny Gray. There’s been no news since the initial report, so who knows?
Your turn.
NPUT
So long Sheldon No use. DFA’d to make room for CT3.
It’s too early to say he has no future, but he was not good this year.
I see where the Dodgers are interested in Freeman. I think they should also consider Castellanos.
Freeman is far more valuable than Castellanos, who’s a terrible defensive player at any position.
I have always liked Freeman.
Texas Rangers really going all in. Seager and Semien for a combined cool half a billion dollars. Wonder if they will go after Kershaw? I know AF and the Dodgers want to keep him in blue, but, I don’t think they will overspend to do it.
The Llaneros might be a .500 team now.
I hope they continue to improve and knock off the cheatin’ Astros.
They’ve still got a long way to go.
Definately.

It;s a done deal. https://twitter.com/mlbtraderumors/status/1466233373685338112?s=20
Yes!

Dodgers just acquired a used Hudson, Daniel by name, who was with them a few years ago.
Now to re-sign… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ffa8220bedc808809ca9b721e9ec1bfa7b20269654f2aea8b45b56fa452b4edb.png
And Whitey Ford.
Whitey was never a Dodger, though.
Now to re-sign… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ffa8220bedc808809ca9b721e9ec1bfa7b20269654f2aea8b45b56fa452b4edb.png
Thanks for your kind thoughts, all.
Friedman fiddles while Dodger fans yearn.
I think that would be a great deal, with Muncy back to 2nd base
Muncy doubtful for start of season with torn UCL in (non-throwing) elbow.
I rushed on here to post about Seager signing a 10 year / $325M contract with the Rangers – but compared to the news that Link just shared, it seems less significant.
I need to tell you all this sad news. My 95-year-old mother passed away on Saturday. We’re dealing, but it’s hard.
Sorry to hear that news Link, my sympathy and best wishes
Very sorry to hear this news, Link. There is nothing comparable to losing one’s mother. While mourning her passing, be extra good to yourself. You deserve it.
Hang in there. She had a longer and presumably more productive life than many of us will.
I am so sorry to hear that Link. I want to add my sincere condolences as well.
Very sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
Link I am so so sorry. Losing our mothers is unlike any other loss. Please give yourself time to grieve. I send you so much love.
Link,, My condolences to you and all who mourn her passing.
Harris married into the Mulholland family (yes, that Mulholland family). https://twitter.com/pattmlatimes/status/1465064565985538050?s=20
Mad Max to Mets? If the Dodgers do lose him, it makes the trade to get him and Trea a bit less shiny.
From what I’ve gleaned, that seems to be in the works. It is interesting, and a bit puzzling, that, thus far, the Dodgers have not signed any of their free agents not signed any free agents that are out there.

OhioDodger: Sorry that your Buckeyes lost. I was rooting for them from Central California. My family used to live in Sylvania, a suburb of Toledo. I have never been a Jim Harbaugh fan.
Thanks Scoop. Rough day here in Columbus. I think we are a better team than Michigan, but, they wanted it more. Toledo is a real hot bed for the OSU-Mich rivalry being on the border. Hope all is well with you and yours.
I am familiar with many rivalries, including Cal-Stanford, UCLA-USC, Army-Navy, Nebraska-Oklahoma and Alabama-Auburn. None is as fierce as Ohio State-Michigan, in my opinion. We lived in Ohio for about three years. The week heading into the game was unbelievable. We had a great Thanksgiving with family and friends. I hope that yours was special as well.
Had a very nice Thanksgiving. Thanks. The UCLA-USC rivalry used to be one of the hottest.
Almost end of the day – but Happy Thanksgiving to all my southern neighbours!
Is it too soon to say, “Bah, humbug!”?
Thankfully we have college football to get us thru the cold stove season till January. Then its only a month till spring training. Go Buckeyes…
And holiday roundball tournaments too!
Haven’t watched basketball since the Sonics left Seattle.
I think that the Buckeyes will crush the Wolverines on Saturday.
I watched the Arizona Fall League championship game last weekend. Not an especially intriguing game, but it’ll have to do until February.
If they sign this guy, their rotation would at some point be Cobb/Webb (something that can be deadly to Gnats). https://twitter.com/mlbtraderumors/status/1462845284812312589?s=20
I see where the Gnats resigned DeSclafani. 3 years $36M. A quality starter for $12M a year is a good deal these days.
In the long run, the Gnats will learn that… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b934eb8d4d0785941ecc00e1dd41ee26d9660f846aa1c552cdbe3bc8952606e4.png
Haven’t heard any news about how the CBA is going. I would think that would be the top story right now.
The Dodgers have lost two not irrreplaceables. https://twitter.com/Dodgers/status/1462901890027458560?s=20
Clearing the deck a bit.
I wonder how much money the Dodgers will receive for these two.
I had some off-season surgery today. The first of 2 cataract surgeries on my eyes.
Hope to be in “the best shape of my life” by the time spring training rolls around!
Here is to a speedy and complete recovery. Pitchers and catchers report in fewer than three months. How about you?
Well, at least they didn’t have to amputate.
I also had 2 biopsies done last week and as I said to my doctor: “Better a biopsy than an autopsy.”
Some years ago I had a biopsy that turned out to be a melanoma. Caught it early, though.
A biopsy of my uvula was the direct cause of my quitting smoking back in 2012. Too late to keep COPD from developing, but it caught c tumor in time.
Hoping for the best for you my friend.
Your sense of humor remains clear and undiminished.
I hope so too. You, Kersh, and Belli.
There’ve been some changes made. Interestingly, the surname “Outman” is most common, by far, in the Republic of Chad.
Great name for a defender, not so great for a hitter.
