I would love at this point for him to just sign with a team that has had zero chatter about signing him, like the Rays or something. 

Best case scenario is he goes to any team besides the Dodgers and then we somehow sign Yamamoto. 

All we are missing is Boob Nightengale saying he's confirmed to sign with the Dodgers, and then 5 minutes later he signs with the Jays.

Also heard Blake Snell recently googled "Best restaurants in Los Angeles (of Anaheim)"

If he stays with us on a long term deal, the talking heads are going to lose their shit. This would be so enjoyable to see.  

Arte is the master of buy high sell low, so I think he will go all in on Snell and Bellinger.

Is this team really going to A-GAIN be amongst the leaders in cumulative IL days???

I was curious so I looked it up.  Here is our position amongst all other teams in cumulative days on IL. We led the league in 2018, but have been better than average since. I looked here for the info: https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/injured-list/2018/cumulative-team/

My thoughts about Ohtani are more about his perspective and how it will affect his plans knowing the team is going to be sold.

Like Soto wanting out of the Nationals due to the team being sold.

Did they post the sale on eBay?

Actually Facebook marketplace and Craigslist. 

Please of please get us someone filthy rich who loves baseball. So who do we want to buy? Ballmer? Cuban?

Is the ringworm reasoning incorrect due to mispelling? Someone pointed out the steroid in question: https://twitter.com/Hareeb_alSaq/status/1558243253962641409

"Ok, so, there is a medicine that treats ringworm that contains CLOBETASOL. Clobetasol is a cortico-(not anabolic) steroid. https://netdoctor.co.uk/medicines/skin-hair/a6540/clobetasol-neomycin-and-nystatin-cream-ointment/

Tatis got busted for CLOSTEBOL, an anabolic steroid. Looks like somebody screwed up their googling coming up with that excuse."

Yep, they wanted a quick reply (excuse) from Tatis and googled clostebol and before this happened one of the top search results was clobetasol to treat ring worm since it’s similar in spelling.  Now all the top results are about Tatis but they definitely screwed up bad. 

I hope so, but I think his last 3 starts were the Royals and then A’s twice. The start before those the Dodgers destroyed him. 

Didi Gregorious is available too 

Can someone pull up his his first quote about Trout’s injury? I’m honestly curious. 

Iglesias was nothing more than a salary dump so I’m ok with that. The rest is D. 

The only way I can see him being dealt is to SD to attempt to screw over the Dodgers. Arte seems that petty. I suppose this might work for the Mets or Yankees also, but SD would be ideal. 

We will probably trade Loup to the Rays and he will make the next 5 all star teams. 

Also biggest turn around. When Rendon hit that left handed homer we were all preparing for the playoffs and years of continued success finally. 

Everyone!

I'd say the only blame for tipping pitches should on the pitcher for doing it and the pitching coach for not catching it. I also think our relievers just aren't that good the majority of the time. Catchers would fall low on the blame in my opinion.

I'd never have imagined in a million years our lineup on June 22 would have been:

Ward

Ohtani

Rengifo

MacKinnon

Stassi

Duffy

Marsh

Lagares

Velazquez

Thankfully we fired Maddon and got this team on a path to winning again.
