Dodgers Winning 2025 World Series?

[redseat]

Well with the Dodgers now signing Blake Snell (pending physical) and of course they have Othani and Betts.... Possibly even Soto....

Will they be hoisting the 2025 World Series as well?

Trying to think of an LA sports franchise that I don't want to burn in hell.

Nope, can't think of a one.

The team I hate the least is the Chargers because I like Herbert. The rest of the team especially the coach can sit on a flaming porcupine.

honestly, I'm glad they signed Snell instead of the Sox. I think he's a really good pitcher, but there's some red flags IMO. His injury history, inconsistency, and walk rate make me nervous. To be fair, the walk rate goes hand in hand with his hard contact and whiff rates, but it still affects his ability to pitch deeper into games (even considering today's SP usage) and it's hard to see a high walk rate working out well at Fenway Park.

I'm laughing at the hate they have been getting. Freddie they got because Atlanta was iffy on keeping him or giving Olsen the job. Mookie was traded by the Red Sox to the Dodgers because they didn;t value him and because the dodgers gave them Alex Verdugo and a couple prospects. You have to have a farm system that produces players other teams want to pull off trades. Ohtani was free to sign with who ever he wanted so hows that the Dodgers fault. The Dodgers got Teoscar Hernandez for not much because he wasn't offered more by other teams and he bet on himself. Max Muncy was found off the A's trash heap after batting .186 his last year there. They just gave up on him. Tommy Edman could have stayed a Cardinal but they didn't value him and traded him at the deadline. Kike was escorted out of Boston and signed with the team that wanted him. Michael Kopech was given up on with the White Sox and traded to the Dodgers in three team deal including Edman. Just smart moves by the Dodgers front office. Snell said he wanted to be a Dodger. Hows that their fault? The Mets and Yankees have the money but they chose wrong and don't have the farm system the dodgers have built up to get teams to trade with them.
The dodgers still had to play with practically no starting pitching and the bullpen stepped up.

Champman is better!
