KobeMVP888 wrote:The Yankees are still in desperate need of starting pitching. Severino, Sonny Gray, Masahiro Tanaka and Jordan Montgomery is a shaky rotation at best. Obviously they are going to have to sign or trade for another innings eater, hopefully an ace. Word is that they want to bring CC back, which I guess wouldn't be horrible. Adding Giancarlo Stanton was obviously a huge fucking deal, but there is nothing more important than pitching. HAVING SAID THAT, they have a solid bullpen, which includes both good long relievers, set up men and a dominating closer, so I would put them as the fave if and only if they get two more quality starting pitchers. Also, there are now holes at 2nd base and 3rd base to plug, but I expect them to re-sign Todd Frazier and hand Glenber Torres the second base job. Not that I believe a manager is that big of a deal, but who knows whether Aaron Boone will be a "boon" (pun intended) or a bust.

Yeah that did suck but you guys still have a loaded lineup, actually you have a better Roster than the Cubs. I could see the Dodgers back in the WS easily.

Major League Baseball is so unforgiving, but eyeing a possible Bums/Yanks WS will be worth the price of admission. Will the Astros stay hot? Will the D-Backs and Rockies give the Dodgers trouble? Are the Cubs capable of getting back?
A female friend of mine who was a HUGE Dodgers fan just passed away last week from complications due to stage 4 cancer. She was young, a great school teacher, and she knew her baseball. Next season I have to make a couple LA trips to see 'em in person, in her memory.

They did get rid of Chase Headley's and Starlin Castro's salary, which pretty much offsets Stanton for luxury tax purposes, plus they have some trade chips, so yeah, they could afford an ace and stay under the luxury tax threshold. For whatever reason, both the Cubs and Yankees have their sights set on Alex Cobb. Yu Darvish froze in the spotlight, so it will be interesting too what his value is and where he lands. Lance Lynn is out there, too. I think it's more likely that the Yankees make another trade.

It's just a salary dump for the Dodgers and a chance for their former star to share in the spoils!
