The part of the Dodgers roster that is totally broken is middle relief. No help in sight on that front, unfortunately.

I can’t take these Hatcher moments anymore.

Bullpens are relatively easy to fix, however, and it’s not like any team in the West is running away with it.. And the Dodgers can afford anything. If Houston stays bad they would probably get rid of Gregerson and Fields, Atlanta has a few useful bullpen arms, Padres would get rid of Rodney in a second. Dodgers got a bit screwed in the Chapman situation. I assume if they’d known his suspesion was only going to last a month they’d have done the trade.

You make a valid point; bullpens are fairly easy to fix. However, the front office has been unwilling/unable to do so for two straight years.

The Gibbons’ Buejays: his every solution is its own problem. Has been. Will be.

Reyes’ career is probably done, right? He doesn’t really have any on-field value anymore and the off-field stuff exacerbates that.

Lol if you think domestic violence ends a career look at Michael Vick, the sports business cares about 2 things … Production and money

I doubt he’s done. If the Rockies just cut him and eat his salary, someone else will take him on and probably move him to 2B. Yes, he had a poor year last year and who knows how much time he’ll miss this year when all is said and done, but he was a 3 WAR player just two years ago despite poor defense at SS. I have no doubt he’ll catch on somewhere.

Vick was animal cruelty, and it did effectively railroad his career, he lost all his endorsements & declared bankruptcy.
Might want to ask Greg Hardy and Ray Rice what domestic violence does to a career though, if you can find them.

Re: A-Rod and Ortiz beef. Eh. A-Rod is immensely unlikeable, but you can see why his lawyers might have made the point. MLB.com runs regular puff-pieces on Big Papi. I don’t think there’s any deep conspiracy here to bury past alleged PED use–it’s just marketability, and baseball is about making money.
