Dodgers to acquire Chapman

[martinpa25]

Wow..just wow. Dude about to rot in cash and does this stupidity ...smh

[Chimi]

Dodgers fans wouldn't mind. Chapman would fit right in with them.

[Brent Maguire]

Unreal. Chapman was about to close for one of the best teams in a huge market and then promptly get paid 40+ million dollars. What a shame.

[TroutField]

Welp.

Marlins are saying Fernandez is off limits. You don't trade young starting pitchers like Fernandez. That's a Pedro Martinez situation

Nice dig with that analogy. F the Dogs.

ok, did i miss this? chapman supposedly fired off eight shots in his house, in october, and this is the first i'm hearing of this. if i missed the earlier report, then fine, but otherwise that's some suspicious shit.

This certainly came out of nowhere.

 

 

The Red Sox were in talks on Chapman in November before learning about the incident through a background check, Alex Speier of the Boston Globe reports. Boston was exploring deals for both Chapman and Craig Kimbrel at the time, says Speier, and turned its attention exclusively toward the latter after finding out about the allegations.

How the hell does news not leak about this when it's the best RP in baseball involved?

[ten ocho recon scout]

Puig cant catch a break. He was in the shadow of kemp, a MVP candidate. Grienke, a cy young candidate. He finally spent a winter trying to seperate himself from the pack, then this guy whos not even a dodger yet steals his thunder. That sucks.

[Guest]

Chapman is going redefine what it actually means to spend some time in the pen.

So he's in trouble for assaulting his garage?

[Broad Street]

Innocent until proven guilty.

[Angel Oracle]

Any man who attacks a woman is a total coward.

Yeah, you would think this would have popped up on the Florida Man twitter.

Wait, so we allow people here on work visas to buy guns?  'Murica!

It wouldn't surprise me.

That or he bought it under the table at some gun show that also sells in bulk to the cartel.

Ya know, either way.

Even if the Dodgers don't trade for Chapman, they have issues. Talked to someone who spoke with Kenley Jansen. Described him as "crushed"

[tdawg87]

Santiago and Gott for Jansen pls

As much as I enjoy Dodger-drama, Jansen needs to put on his big boy jammies and get over it.

[nando714]

If I'm eppler I get cinci on the horn

Deal with the dogs isn't offical or done

Right?

[ukyah]

i know we have two justice systems, one for the poor and one for the rich, but how does a dude not get arrested for firing off eight shots in his house while attacking a person? i think there's something fishy going on.

[zenmaster]

Santiago and Gott for Jansen pls

 

Talked with someone today about this and sources describe Street as "Crushed".

Smith - 7th

Jansen - 8th

Street - 9th

Talk about shortening the game. I guess the dodgers see it that way too

You have to wonder what the new commissioner will do here in regards to domestic violence. He can't turn his back the Dodgers invalidated a trade over it. Why pick up a player headed for a suspension?

I'm guessing Cincinnati knew the story would get out and they would end up with nothing if they didn't dump him quick. I would not trust trading anyone for anyone from that ownership.

From what I understand, Jocketty told teams about this. It's why Boston turned their attention to Kimbrel.
