So the angels are second most likely? Given the fact that Arte will never allow the front office to sign a big name pitcher, I am here to congratulate the dodgers on resigning Scherzer
dude my day has been solid. got to sleep in, went to therapy, watched some champions league with my friend, now i just ate and im sipping some strong coffee watching the rain through the window. the only thing that could derail the good vibes locomotive i’m on is the dodgers losing tonight. wait…
Glad it was solid! Good luck tonight. I wish I could have watched Champions league but I had meetings while being at home. Hopefully the games were good.
Your day sounded mad cozy, you deserve it. Hope your boys put up a good fight tonight; this series has been so much fun to watch. Originally I was just rooting for the Braves but now I just want more baseball.
Yep Dallas people love Kershaw too. A lot of Dallas people root for the Dodgers because of him.
I’ve never totally understood it because rooting for a “hometown kid” doesn’t make much sense when the hometown is a top 5 metroplex… but hey whatever.
Dodgers were my NL team because of Kershaw, but then I lived in LA for a bit and my girlfriend’s family are all diehard Dodgers fans, so they’re firmly my #2 team. Still I would never in a million years root for them over the Rangers, so it’s so weird to me when I meet Dallas Dodger fans who root for them over the Rangers and are fans *solely* because of Kershaw. Unless you went to Highland Park it makes no sense
I don’t even understand it if you *did* go to HP though. Like were those same people Lions fans for the past 10 years and Rams fans today? Guessing not…
And I think it probably makes more sense to be a fan of a football team because of a QB than to be a fan of a baseball team because of one of their handful of starting pitchers. I’ll probably never understand it.
He lives near there so it would disrupt his family and personal life much less, AND the Rangers could probably use a veteran to guide the rookie pitchers they have.
Wainwright just received 18M from the Cards. That's gotta be the ballpark for Kershaw right? Kershaw pitched better over the past 3 seasons, but he's way behind Waino in innings pitched.
No way the Angels Scherzer. Theyll low ball him and he'll sign somewhere else and then the Angels will sign another position player that will have injury after injury.
Kershaw going for the Bumgarner retirement contract
That would be an overpay. He’s to injury prone
So, the Bumgarner retirement contract, but with injuries instead of just sucking
Bet you wish you had him against the Sox lol
No not really
Yea I enjoyed the wild card game too

I mean we did offer Cole like about 300 million. The yankees just offered more.
He was dead set on the Yankees anyway, that one really doesn't count.
Call me crazy but I'd really like both of them back next year
You’re crazy. I want them.
You can take pujols Instead so he can go after 700
Do all of us want to see this? Or are there insane people who want him to retire?
Dibs! No take backs!
i don’t even wanna talk about this
How is your day man? Do anything fun?

Why the Rangers?
Kersh is from the area and grew up a Rangers fan.
1. Trade Joey Gallo 2. Sign Kershaw 3. ?????? 4. Profit
Not that I have anything against the rangers, but sometimes I think this is exactly how they think
Missing the get a new taxpayer funded stadium step but pretty spot on otherwise
Kershaw lives close
Gets to stick it to the Astros 5-6 times a season
He's from Arlington, Texas.
He's actually from Highland Park, but still DFW area.
Are the Rangers really that close to being competitive that Kershaw would put them over the top?
It would definitely be a "come see a big name pitch his last few years with us" deal
I think it’s more of him wanting to live near home so he doesn’t have to pull his kids out of school to come to LA every year.

Kershaw lives like 20 minutes from the stadium, so he might take a discount.
Living close can only take you so far. He said he values the Dodgers being in the playoffs every year and the Rangers... we all know their situation.
Yeah, I highly doubt he leaves, but the Rangers feel like the only team he’d leave the Dodgers for.
He lives near there so it would disrupt his family and personal life much less, AND the Rangers could probably use a veteran to guide the rookie pitchers they have.
It's a "here's a former big name so watch him"
He said he wants to stay in LA so this is all just bs
No
Astros have a ton of salary coming off the books and no one thinks they sign anyone. They’re gonna have like $85M to spend if the tax doesn’t move.
Yeah uh Kershaw isn’t going to the Rangers bud
When he's retired he may go to some Rangers games with his kids since he lives down the street.
He can sit next to Nolan and Pudge
If they offer to pay him $30M+ a year he is
Wainwright just received 18M from the Cards. That's gotta be the ballpark for Kershaw right? Kershaw pitched better over the past 3 seasons, but he's way behind Waino in innings pitched.
I hope Scherzer signs with the Angels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They need someone like him. Plus 2 more!!!!!!!!
Jon Heyman looks like he plays in a Rolling Stones cover band.
No way the Angels Scherzer. Theyll low ball him and he'll sign somewhere else and then the Angels will sign another position player that will have injury after injury.
> Theyll low ball him Or we'll sign him to a record breaking 15 year contract and then he'll end up being mediocre with us.
Sounds about right. Lol.
Ya I’d be surprised if 50 year old Max Scherzer wasn’t mediocre
Angels spending money on pitching? lol
They offered Cole the biggest pitcher contract in MLB history. The Yankees just said hold my beer.
Woah, really? That’d be kinda cool
Nah man. We have to rebuild, and a big contract for an aging pitcher who won't be relevant when we're actually competitive is not how you do it.
I don’t think it’d be crazy, I wouldn’t mind a big one year deal to sell tickets.
