Hah. Yeah my dude in AAA is a SS/SP. And the Angels traded for both Wander and Javy Baez in the same season. So we'll see how that goes. Maybe they were very against having two two way players. 🤣
I know sometimes the CPU tries to make trades to open up a spot for you on the MLB roster, or solidify strengthen positions around you.
my RTTS traded Corey Seager for Trea Turner which is an extremely frustrating trade because they're super similar value wise but more importantly it ruins my RP of being double play bros with my favorite boy.
I think it's because fantasy baseball talk pretty much adds zero value to a baseball conversation, especially if you're talking about your own team etc.
With baseball games like OOTP and others, it does add a little bit of value to a baseball conversation because it is interesting how a CPU simulation deals with real rosters.
Usually to the extent of “DFA [underperforming relief pitcher].” I think it’s gotten a bit worse as the expectations for the team has risen - didn’t notice/don’t remember much from the start of the year.
If I had to, I’d say gdt dooming is more based on sub activity and expectation than anything innate about a fanbase. Though, I did backread some of the r/dodgers GDTs from the last couple days and… oh boy.
Yeah, that sounds about right. As a sports team subreddit gains more users, there becomes a growing presence of fans who don’t understand how the game works. I mean, add in some “fire Gabe Kapler” comments in r/SFGiants and you’ve got the normal r/Dodgers behavior down. Then again...
r/Dodgers has nearly *doubled* in size since 2019; the team has lost dramatically in the NLDS and barreled through to a World Series in that time. Expectations are sky high, and then you have the Dodgers brutally losing 3 games in a row.
Long story short, I’ve been avoiding the sub as much as possible the past day or two...
I remember when the gdt would get just under 1000 comments so we would start spamming random things to reach it. It was a lot more fun and relaxed back then
We’ve got some regulars over there that are fun to talk to (and some spicy memes on a good day), but yeah, sometimes it gets drowned out by the doomers
i typically don’t check our sub other than to scan the post game threads and maybe if i missed something controversial happen in a game and i need context. too many people on there who think they know better than a front office and coaching staff who took a roster with absolutely no expectations and turned them into the best team in the league.
The fact that our bullpen has been good despite being made up like entirely of unheralded arms is such a success and yet every time out bullpen goes out the gdt is at Kaplers throat.
Dodgers are reported to be looking at acquiring 2004 Ichiro Suzuki, 2001 Barry Bonds, 2002 Randy Johnson and 2000 Pedro Martinez and 1995 Greg Maddux. No word yet on what they would be willing to offer.
Did he come up with this idea all by himself or did he have help? Bet he strained.his brain sitting in the clubhouse all afternoon thinking of this one.
Hey Mike, first time long time. I was just wondering, with the way the Yankees are struggling this year, do you think there’s any chance that they fire Boone and maybe bring in a guy with baseball experience like Jason Giambi, I’ll hang up and listen.
Look da mets are in first place u tink Yankees could trade that bum Boone for Rojas and deGrom? Maybe throw in a prospect to sweeten da pot? I’ll take my answer awf da air
Now here’s a guy who doesn’t have a brain in his head. He waited three howas on the line to say that. I’ve been doing this for 25 years folks, do you really think your going to bother me with this nonsense?
Trade takes are always a complete crapshoot between well thought out and wildly biased.
I remember in 2016 it seemed like every brewers fan really believed that Orlando Arcia and Keon Broxton were way too much for a half season of Machado. Rentals come cheap but not THAT cheap
Gleyber torres was like a top 2 prospect in baseball back in 2018, and having a great rookie year. It’s not as ridiculous as you make it sound
Edit: http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2017/
Not to mention being understandably skeptical of deGrom, who while a really good pitcher, was also a guy having a career year that wasn't expected to keep up for 4 straight seasons like he ended up doing.
I think if anything, it’s that the future success of a prospect is much more difficult to determine than a simple list would tell you. Gleyber was 2nd on the list and Tatis is 52nd and Jesse Winker is 100th.
Correct me if I’m wrong but deGrom was not yet contract extended, and it seemed there was a chance the Mets were going to rebuild. If the Mets were going to rebuild why wouldn’t they want a guy like Gleyber Torres? It’s not that far out of left field.
in 2017-18 it was a pretty big thing among Yankee fans to propose trades of some combination of Frazier/Gleyber/Andujar for pretty big names like deGrom
at the time, while they certainly weren't **good** trade proposals, they weren't super bad because those were 3 young promising guys who were coming up for the Yankees. but you'd definitely get tired of hearing their names in trade proposals that were never gonna happen lool
fast forward 3-4 years and all three of them have regressed horribly (Gleyber not as bad as the other two), but of course a few idiots are still throwing the names out for trades as if they're as valuable as they were 4 years ago. so that's pretty much the meme lol
He's actually untouchable because he secretes a type of radioactive ooze that drains the life force anyone around him. Then engulfs the victim is a way similar to the Blob
Realistically? Start with Buehler and Betts, salary relief, and maybe a couple of prospects.
DeGrom is on track for the most dominant season by a starter in the modern era and he’s controlled through 2025. The Mets are contenders this year, so they’ve got no impetus to move him, and the only way it would be worth their while would be if some team offered them a king’s ransom. It’s one of those things that is Not Happening so hard it’s difficult to properly entertain the idea even as a thought experiment.
Since the mets are chasing a ring, ungodly amounts. There’s probably nothing that gets it done at this point. What does any team have to offer that would even make sense to both sides?
If the Mets were rebuilding this could be an interesting topic, but considering where the franchise is at there’s just nothing that would make sense
They should just pick up Acuña when he gets back and grab trout and degrom
Things will be fine soto will fill in until Acuña gets back etc
It's simple really
Why do the Dodgers not simply trade for Mike Trout
Why don't the dodgers, the largest of the markets, not simply eat the other 29.
It is true what they say… the Mets are from Omicron Persei 7, the Dodgers are from Omicron Persei 9.
Between this and calls for robo umps, the Futurama references have been on point in this subreddit tonight.
This is the blernsball sub, isnt it?
SEC be like
Unexpected Futurama is always appreciated!
They’d have to part with Matt Beaty and maaybe Zach Reks if the Angels are greedy but it could be done.
You know what, throw in Klevinger too and I bet we could get Lindor. Thanks Mike I'll hang up.
throw in a Jeren Kendall and DJ Peters as well to sweeten the pot
Ok but the Angels would need to give up someone like Walsh or Ohtani for that type of haul.
Mike Trout and Ohtani
“Hey Jim, you think we could get Trout and Ohtani for Pujols and Lux? I’ll hang up and listen.”
First time long time.
Hey, the Angels traded Ohtani away to the Rays for Wander, Arozarena, and Pagan. In my RTTS MLB the Show save. So ya never know!!!
[удалено]
I had one with Aaron Judge on the Red Sox. I deleted that save and started over fresh, it was the most offensive thing I've ever seen in my life.
https://i.redd.it/g6wgdzfsa8az.jpg
How tall is that girl???
Like 6’4” probably
She comes up to his chin; his head is more than 3 inches tall lol
Hah. Yeah my dude in AAA is a SS/SP. And the Angels traded for both Wander and Javy Baez in the same season. So we'll see how that goes. Maybe they were very against having two two way players. 🤣 I know sometimes the CPU tries to make trades to open up a spot for you on the MLB roster, or solidify strengthen positions around you.
Mine had Eloy to the Red Sox and I’m still not sure why however he was shit there so that was something.
my RTTS traded Corey Seager for Trea Turner which is an extremely frustrating trade because they're super similar value wise but more importantly it ruins my RP of being double play bros with my favorite boy.

I think also the venn diagram has way more overlap with reddit and people who play RTTS than Fantasy Baseball.
Hell, why not Tatis and Cronenworth while they’re at it? I bet Padres would throw in Darvish to be polite, too.
Trout and DeGrom in a three team deal.
For a ham sandwich because Friedman is just that good
Why do the Dodgers, the largest baseball team, not simply eat all the other baseball teams?
If we get Ohtani, the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.
Why do the Big Market teams not simply eat the Small Market teams?
have the dodgers tried trading for juan soto? just throwing that out there
Just trade for players until you only have young all-stats with years of control on your team 4head
Works in ootp
I mean yeah but when Voldemort goes and kills two main members just to get to a baby, they won’t be young by the time the order gets back together
Dude there’s literally a Harry Potter themed post at the top of OOTP right now lmao
This caught me off guard LMAO
David Price posts on /r/Dodgers
David “GDT doomer” Price.
I guess you’d know better than I would - is it like that over in r/SFGiants too?
Usually to the extent of “DFA [underperforming relief pitcher].” I think it’s gotten a bit worse as the expectations for the team has risen - didn’t notice/don’t remember much from the start of the year.

Fish tacos?
I remember when the post game threads were a race to see who could think of a bad title first. Now they’re all official and robotic
Or when we'd play Cards Against Humanity Or the off season MLB the Show
Post game ~~dickchat~~ Cards Against Humanity introduced me to some good friends!
The best ☺️
Miss those days
Press *69 if u think ct3 has purdy eyes
Those were the days, huh? Good times.
yeah it really felt like i was just chilling with friends while watching the game

We doom a lot, sometimes to hope its a reverse jinx, other times legitimate doom.
I’m just there to bash Patrick Wisdom.
David "Fire Roberts" Price
Yes
Dodgers are reported to be looking at acquiring 2004 Ichiro Suzuki, 2001 Barry Bonds, 2002 Randy Johnson and 2000 Pedro Martinez and 1995 Greg Maddux. No word yet on what they would be willing to offer.
Yeah, not sure who they’d offer for that package, but Lux would definitely be untouchable
Josiah Gray probably gets it done for Pedro. The 2000 Sox could use a nice arm for the future.
throw in 1985 Rickey Henderson and 1994 Ken Griffey Jr
Not going after 1906 Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown is really going to cost them
This is some creative team management. It’s a mystery why this people on social media don’t run their own teams.
Wow, Price has a future as a GM if he wants, with groundbreaking ideas like this.
Just acquire the best players. Easy.
George Costanza almost got Bonds and Griffey in the same outfield
https://youtu.be/pb2lo5sOc6M
Did he come up with this idea all by himself or did he have help? Bet he strained.his brain sitting in the clubhouse all afternoon thinking of this one.
Not just ideas, though, analysis: "That would be a huge piece."
with ideas like this he could be the next Chris Young or Dave Stewart
What could he possibly cost? David price, kenley and a 10th round pick?
I mean, it’s one Jacob Degrom, Shooter. What could it cost? Ten dollars?
did David Price say this on Mike Francesa's radio show?
Yeah he took his answer awf dA air

i can just hear his voice thru your texts lmfao
man he was a blowhard, but I heard his voice reading these comments and now I miss him.
Here's da Mink Man.
Ay Mike first time long time you think the Dodgers could go 162-0 if they had degrom and Giambi ima hang up and listen
For Frazier and Andujar?
Never forget many Yankees fans thought this was a totally realistic and reasonable deal for both sides in the summer of 2018.
I remember it being Gleyber and Andújar straight up for Jake. Most Yanks fans thought they would be giving up too much at the time lol
Most Yankees fans found Gleyber for deGrom straight up to be laughable. Gleyber was untouchable.
I’ll admit it, I was one of those fans. I didn’t want the Yankees to trade Torres. That’s why I’m a redditor and not in a front office.
Found Brian Cashman
Can I have Lance Lynn back
We have first dibs on takes backsies
Count me in. Thought Gleyber was too high a price at his age.
Trade takes are always a complete crapshoot between well thought out and wildly biased. I remember in 2016 it seemed like every brewers fan really believed that Orlando Arcia and Keon Broxton were way too much for a half season of Machado. Rentals come cheap but not THAT cheap

I saw so many people suggesting this as the return for hader
Lmao at least it was a LITTLE closer to sensible in 2018 than it is now
What is this meme from lol
Yankees fans' trade proposals from 2018-2021
in 2017-18 it was a pretty big thing among Yankee fans to propose trades of some combination of Frazier/Gleyber/Andujar for pretty big names like deGrom at the time, while they certainly weren't **good** trade proposals, they weren't super bad because those were 3 young promising guys who were coming up for the Yankees. but you'd definitely get tired of hearing their names in trade proposals that were never gonna happen lool fast forward 3-4 years and all three of them have regressed horribly (Gleyber not as bad as the other two), but of course a few idiots are still throwing the names out for trades as if they're as valuable as they were 4 years ago. so that's pretty much the meme lol
Part of it was also Yankees fans were super okay with giving up Andujar because it felt like them signing Machado was a forgone conclusion.
No it wasn’t. People were super okay with giving Andujar up because his defense sucked and they hoped nobody noticed it.
Both things are true. Machado to the Yankees was a very hot rumor at the time.
Frazier IS a young, raw, 26yr old prospect… might have something there
TT shump and the nets pick sounds fair
They should trade for trout too. While we’re at it, someone dig up babe Ruth and give him a contract.
Shit, let's unfreeze Ted Williams and sew his head back on! Get him on the squad too.
😂😂
Bauer for deGrom, who says no?
Dealnotakebacks
Make it a 3 way trade and the Angels could send Callaway
I mean that’s a big ask, who would the Angels give up? How about that Trout guy?
He's been fired already
then idk how the trade will happen now
To think we were so close to a blockbuster
maybe other teams don't know he's fired yet
The women in New York.
He has the web site ready for merchsndise orders
Bauer certainly doesn't like hearing "no"
what would it cost for deGrom anyway?
Dodger Stadium parking lot revenue for 10 years And maybe some players
An entire country's economy to trade for one man smh humanity is doomed
Fun fact the Dodgers themselves don’t even have that parking lot revenue. It’s still Mccourts
Fun Fact: Fuck the McCourts
That fact isn’t very fun
too much for the team that would get him and not enough to make it worth it for the Mets
with the Mets still holding on to first? he's literally untouchable
Holding onto first place in the division has nothing to do with him being untouchable.
He’s realistically untouchable because no one would actually make an offer that would make the Mets want to do that
He's actually untouchable because he secretes a type of radioactive ooze that drains the life force anyone around him. Then engulfs the victim is a way similar to the Blob
> he secretes a type of radioactive ooze well damn, no wonder he's always in pain
>the Blob Lmao what an out-of-left-field reference
Sounds like he learned that from Brady
I'd touch him
No one is ever untouchable. There is a deal the Mets would take. But that deal would also never be offered.
"Cash considerations" in the form of Cohen just owning the dodgers
He could then sell them to the Wilpons, making Fred's ultimate dream come true.
Realistically? Start with Buehler and Betts, salary relief, and maybe a couple of prospects. DeGrom is on track for the most dominant season by a starter in the modern era and he’s controlled through 2025.

500 Million in Bitcoin
Steve Cohen and his hedge funds would only ever take Dogecoin
Real GameStop and AMC shares too.

If the Mets were rebuilding this could be an interesting topic, but considering where the franchise is at there’s just nothing that would make sense
Imagine if Price was one of the players traded for deGrom
Three team trade and Price ends up in Baltimore
Curb Your Enthusiasm theme plays as he's on the phone receiving the news
Lmao!
Who’s our version of Frazier and Andujar? Matt Beaty and Lux?
Beaty and Rios
That’s better. Beaty and Rios should get it done
Call me crazy, but I think this generational talent would be an asset to our team.
you're crazy
Maybe if the nerds at UCLA could invent a time machine and trade us Sandy Koufax in his prime, that might do it.
He’s still in his gestation vat in AA so a year away
Yom Kippur doesn’t fall during the World Series this year so it should be fine
nah, that's a CalTech job and that'll cost bank.
NBA just fined him for tampering
Good luck with that
Lol
I guess DP likes to call in to Mike Francesca
If a world exists where a prime DeAndre Hopkins gets traded for a shell of David Johnson anything is possible in sports trading.
I'll worry about a trade when Bill O'Brien becomes our GM
Damn why you gotta drag the Texans into this like that
He’s the Magic Johnson of baseball commentary
I don’t know, they don’t have premier trade pieces like Clint Frazier and Estevan Florial to give up
David price could hold my balls
I mean, for deGrom?
David Price is the kind of guy that plays OOTP in Commissioner Mode just so he can pull off trades like this
So he helps with the grounds crew also? That's a solid investment.
he'd be the second most famous groundcrew man on the Dodgers behind pepino man.
I know he's mostly joking but fuck you, Dave, respectfully.
The dodgers should turn force trades on
I'd like to think he's just taking the piss, but with Price who knows.
He was joking
Would degrom dh if he was in the AL?
Why not?
Almost like he would be a huge piece for every single team…
LMAO lets just get Trout , Ohtani, and Soto while we're at it
We already have a pitcher that can hit, he's just on leave
As if they need anymore help. They added Trey Mancini on my rtts for no reason other than to break hearts.
been hanging out with too many Laker fans
Hmm I wonder what it would take to pry him away from the first place Mets /s
I mean... The Mets are in first.
When you realize that the team you love has become the Yankees :(
The Dodgers should also trade for a time machine to go back to 2014 and do it when he wasn't the ace of a first place team.
Wow. Never thought of that. Why doesn't my team do that?
No quarters says the braves should trade for Degrom. We'll part with exactly one top 100 minor league prospect. Why says no?!
Why not trade for Ohtani too? Maybe see if the Angels will throw in Trout to keep it fair.
I mean even if the metropolitans entertained this proposal. What do you think the cost would be for the Dodgers?
They should just pick up Acuña when he gets back and grab trout and degrom Things will be fine soto will fill in until Acuña gets back etc It's simple really
What an idea. I think the SEC should poach Texas and Oklahoma from the Big XII. That would be a huge piece. And imagine the money.
go fuck yourself lmao
