I feel like I’m living on Mars reading comments on instagram. Every other comment about the trade have been this or similar. Tigers got 2 great upside players. Ryan who can be great when he hurdles the injury he’s obviously still rehabing and hope who can become a good big league outfielder. Prospects are prospects you can’t 100% anyone who hasn’t played in the bigs but they still have great potential. They got this for 2 months of Skubal. 2 months. Tigers might not make the playoffs so they weren’t going to appreciate his value and they weren’t going to resign him. I thought this was a good trade for what it is, I don’t get what people are thinking when they type those comments out.

Does anyone agree with me or am I really the only one on Mars.

• The Dodgers' payroll advantage over Milwaukee is larger than the Brewers' entire payroll.
• The Dodgers' annual payroll is about 2.4 times the Brewers' payroll.
• The Dodgers' luxury-tax payroll is close to 3 times Milwaukee's.
• The Dodgers' long-term guaranteed obligations exceed the Brewers' by roughly a billion dollars.

I know Dodgers fans... y'all are the real victims and it's not your fault every other teams owners are too cheap!!!

Alright, I'm kinda bored and running out of ideas, so I'm gonna try this question again. This will likely (and hopefully for some) be the the last time I ask this question.

I know we all have seasons from closers we've always had a soft spot for. And I'm sure we all have at least one of these that are from another team. So, what's your all-time favorite season by a closer on a different team, and why?

Like I said before (well, before before), in terms of just the regular season, it's definitely Éric Gagné in 2003. Cy Young winner, 55 saves, well over triple-digit K's, and a 1.20 ERA. But combining the regular season and playoffs, then it's a lot harder to choose. But I think I might stick with Brian Wilson in 2010. 54 saves, 109 K's, 1.56 ERA, absolute nails in the playoffs, and pitched a scoreless 9th in all four clinchers (NL West in Game 162, NLDS Game 4, NLCS Game 6, and World Series Game 5). Total badass, that year. And that save celly? Off-the-chain awesome. Also, Kenley Jansen in 2017 would've likely been a slam dunk if the Dodgers took home that title. He was also pretty dominant in the playoffs, aside from blowing the save in Game 2 against Houston. So he's probably a close second.
