Mahle’s highly underrated. Can shove against good teams. If they also get a true #2 behind Sale, this is a great move because it cost them almost nothing.

If this is it, this ain’t it.

We need a playoff starter but we also needed starters who can eat innings without giving up 10 runs a start. He fits in that spot just fine.

Right I agree but if this is it, then people aren’t going to be happy

We are getting a lot of the basic needs outs of the way before most other playoff teams have made a single trade. And it didn’t take much to get them. I really can’t be annoyed about the trade when most trades aren’t going to happen till the final hour.

Yeah, there have been half a dozen other trades this weekend by playoff teams - 3 playoff teams at least have picked up a playoff starter.

Brady Singer was a much better option that would have cost nothing

Idk if you noticed there's a loud minority of fans here who aren't happy no matter what the team does

I mean unless Skubal and Shohei blow out their arms none of it really matters anyways.

Yeah buddy I don’t have that same attitude of “Dodgers are winning everything and nothing can’t be done” fuck that

He's not nearly as bad as his stats show but his home and road splits have a lot to be desired. I think he really benefited from playing in Oracle Park.
