    About time Rushing got the call but this painfully slow wait for CT3 + Outman to be replaced is ridiculous. How can LAD management expect fans to pay top dollar to see Barnes, Kike, Outman, Muncy and the Ex-Giant? No child left behind ???

      Outman is back in AAA once Edman returns.

      Once Teoscar is back, the Dodgers have a big decision – very possibly a Taylor DFA considering Kim is playing well. Kike has been playing better lately and seems to rise to the occasion in October. Muncy isn’t going anywhere unless he runs into an awful stretch between now and the trade deadline.

      Muncy since donning glasses to deal with an astigmatism is batting .261/.375/.543.

      Fans are paying top dollar to see the defending World Series champs, their stellar hitters at the top of the lineup, and their excellent (when healthy) pitchers.

    Shouldn’t someone like Pedro Martinez, if not go off, explain to Devers how he needs to lead with the salary he has. Pedro was the best starting pitcher in the game for a bit, and if the Sox had needed him to close, or if they had a starter get hurt in the first inning or the game had a long delay, he would have jumped at serving as a follower and not an opener. The whole Devers moving to either DH or 1B discussions have went on before he got the big bucks. Trying to tell the team to go sign someone is one of the most stupid comments I’ve heard, it’s not like’s worried about struggling at 1B and not getting a contact that the family will be good for quite a long time. I do get that the front office needs to find out who is discussing everything that’s ever said in the clubhouse or wherever and having things be thrown on players head. Realization as well, at how many players have left Boston with bad tastes in their mouths due to everyone associated with the team seems to be willing to embarrass tne player, although I do struggle with that being the Devers idea, since unlike most of the stupid behaviors were when they didn’t pay the player the big contracts
