Wait wat
Im guessing the Dodgers are eating all off the salary
The all utility team
I want to see them play Mookie at short, Muncy at second, Taylor at 3rd, and Hernandez in left.
Shohei is off the market per Tom Verducci.
Dodgers also get Amed Rosario from Cleveland for Noah Syndergaard.
BREAKING: The Los Angeles Angels are finalizing a deal to acquire right-hander Lucas Giolito and right-handed reliever Reynaldo Lopez from the Chicago White Sox for catcher Edgar Quero and left-hander Ky Bush, two top prospects, sources tell ESPN.
Okay, the deal makes for the Dodgers, but what are the Guardians getting out of it
Was reading about Rosario. Worst defensive SS this year. Former top MLB prospect. Garbage for junk deal. Of course Dodgers often find ways to straighten guys out.
That is such a weird deal
With the 27-year-old Rosario slated to hit free agency this winter, the Guardians already have a pair of potential successors on the active roster in 23-year-old Gabriel Arias and 24-year-old Tyler Freeman, both of whom are currently serving in utility roles. Arias placed 10th on the team’s top prospects list in January as a 45 FV prospect, but he has hit just .179/.290/.300 (69 wRC+) and has struck out in 32.1% of his plate appearances. Freeman placed sixth on last year’s list as a 50 FV prospect; while he didn’t hit much last year, he’s batting .293/.349/.373 (103 wRC+) with just a 14.1% strikeout rate. Waiting in the wings — or more accurately, at Triple-A Columbus — is Brayan Rocchio, a 22-year-old who placed second on the team list and 54th on the Top 100 list. While Rosario won’t fetch as much right now in trade as he would have coming off last season, if the Guardians can find somebody to take a chance on him, they can sift through their alternatives with a good shot at improving upon what they’ve already gotten at shortstop this year.
I think the Dodgers are planning on using Rosario at catcher and moving Smith and Barnes to first. Versatility. Guardians I think view this as better than releasing Rosario. He's gone at the end of the year. This write up suggests they'd be better off with giving the prospects on their roster the rest of the season. They also have a stud in AAA.https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-2023-replacement-level-killers-shortstop-and-third-base/
But they just took on more money in Syndergaard 's contract
Full trade, per ESPN sources: Los Angeles Dodgers receive: RH starter Lance Lynn and RH reliever Joe KellyChicago White Sox receive: RH starter Nick Nastrini (in Double-A), RH reliever Jordan Leasure (Double-A) and OF Trayce Thompson, who was originally drafted by Chicago.
