If Outman was in the deal I think they would listen.

He was mentioned in the article I saw. Seems like it could be good for both teams.

Been a rough off-season. Maybe this'll turn things around?

I would hate giving up Clase- but when it comes down to it- the deal would make sense for both teams in a lot of ways. Guardians need an OF that has some power- and Outman has a lot of years of control left--- Clase is the elite closer to help the Dodgers win the next few years.

I would hate to see Clase go- but you have to give up something to get something. My only reservation would be that the Guardians current best prospect is an OF who can hit the shit out of the ball- and one of their other top 5 prospects is an OF too- but prospects are prospects- Outman played well at the major league level.

Outfielders have more value than relievers typically- but even though Clase was not as great as he was in 2022 and 2021- he was still an elite closer and led MLB in saves- and is signed forever for a very reasonable amount.

On the other hand- an eventual outfield of Kwan in left, Outman in CF, and DeLatuer in RF is pretty attractive to put with an IF of C-Naylor, 1B+DH J. NAylor and Manzardo, 2B- Gimenez, SS- Rocchio or Arias, 3B Jose. That would be a really fun young lineup.


honestly- I could see the trade expanding to include both Bieber and Clase- but it would take a pretty penny for the Dodgers to pull that off- but shit- going Yamamato, Glasnow, Bieber, Buehler, etc....with Clase, Phillips and Graterol in the back end of the bullpen? goodnight Irene. Plan the victory parade.

Dodgers October will still be a thing. It’s just more expensive now.

Need a huge comeback in Fantasy. Cook and Mixon didn’t do shit for me yesterday and dude had Tee Higgins and 15.5 points on one play clears what my two bums did combined.

been a lot of that this year. Cook destroyed Dallas and then is an afterthought in passing targets in a tight matchup with the Chargers who just got wrecked last week?

Mixon not getting touches was a coaching debacle

In fairness to the Bengals they couldn’t run the ball a lick yesterday. And then game situation down 24-0 at half takes the run game away. But Cook is frustrating. Should have sat Mixon and played Waddle. I didn’t like Waddle’s matchup vs Dallas secondary. Dallas is fast all over that defense and fast is what makes Miami special on offense. So Waddle is clearly gonna go for over 100 yards and at least 1 TD cause he’s on my bench.

People flipping their shit over Deion Sanders at Colorado and he doesn’t even get a bowl game. Meanwhile, this dude is a real coach. He inherited a scandal and a shit show with a talentless roster and this is what he does.

Deion has to have good coordinators or he will get boat raced every year. He's a face and nothing more.

You could have my fantasy year where all 3 teams had Chubb Dobbins and Akers and 2 had Aaron Rodgers.

Then in my big money league i still managed to be 4th in scoring but dead last in "defense" and ended up 5 and 9 before the playoffs.

Yep. He’s the equivalent of a high school coach with exceptional marketing and swag. He is Coach Prime but the substance is lacking.

I can identify with this. Had the 2nd most points scored in my league but everybody went off against me and I needed help the final week to sneak into playoffs as the 6 seed at 7-7.

I don’t do multiple teams anymore. I have a hard time saying “no” so two years ago I was in 5 leagues. It was just too much. I couldn’t keep track of who I had on what teams. It was crazy. I was rooting for and against the same players haha. I decided to reduce it over the last two years and now I’m just in the one league with the $150 entry fee. Making semis means I’ve already gotten my money back. $300 more if I can win and make the finals and then another $450 on top if you win.

the one is a throw away league from here that I may drop because I hate bidding

the other is for my son's football and it raises money for them.

So I have just the one "real" one

@bksballer89 Merry Christmas my guy.

I find it very interesting that I have seen more offensive offsides calls in the last few weeks since the Kadarius Toney call than I have seen in my entire life watching NFL football.

Not sure what to make of that.

Funny you say that, coach. Dude on ESPN said the exact same thing...

Dude got hit with one in the Detroit game...
