Dodgers trade their farm system for a rental. What else is new. Still won't win.

It's not really their whole farm system. The top guy is their #4 prospect, and they gave up two guys ranked #27 and #28. The other two are unranked.

lol far from it
Yusniel Diaz didn't have a future here. He's like the 90th ranked prospect in baseball. He's the dodgers 4th or 5th ranked prospect

The other guys are meh including Valera who isn't even a prospect, he's a AAAA guy

Stay salty

Okay, maybe you're right but I still don't think this helps them win a World Series.

Mexi is this a good haul
rylan bannon is having a great year

Yusniel just hit 2 homers in the futures game. They spent 13M on him. I think he'll be pretty good

Other guys I don't know but since they're from our system they're good

O's need bodies. Yes top prospects too, but honestly they need guys in that system

Pretty decent haul imo

From my perspective I don't regret trading any of those guys

One position player doesn't make a team that good. But Babe Ruth would have a better case than Machado.

Orioles are trash, never set for the future.

A 6 win player will definitely help LA's chances of winning the world series, pwn.

This year he's been great, but past years he hasn't faired as well as 6 WAR. A .280 average last year with average defense at shortstop isn't a 6 WAR player. Let's see if he remains consistent with this year's numbers.

I can't wait until a team shells out money for him and he doesn't produce to those standards. He's a hothead too, so he'll easily go for who pays him the most.

And say what you want about him hating Boston, but if we outpay any other team for him, he'd come to Boston in a heartbeat. Typical pre Madonna.

Hes beeegn 6 wins of better 3 of the past 4 years. Last years first half is the clear anomaly here. Weve gone over this.....

thats true, look at the angels


But the Dodgers have a bunch of good players already. Manny definitely separates us from atlanta, philly, milwaukee and arizona
Not sure about the cubs but id love to make the nlcs again

Machado batting 2nd and playing SS. Can't say I dislike the move for the Dodgers, although they're going to have to part with Verdugo if they plan to bolster their roto. And they will NEED to add another starter if they expect to get back to the WS. Regardless, can't see why Machado doesn't sign a mega deal with LA. Seager can play 3B and Turner can become the DH. 
 
Yes, I believe we see the DH in the NL next season.

I think Brewers are very underrated.

Brewers definitely need another SP. Thinking they go bold and chase an Archer trade.

Watch out for the Rockies too. I keep saying that they're coming back and I believe it.
