2021-2022 Off Season Thread

Dodgers all the way.

Same. They're fun and entertaining to watch, and they've built a great farm system that consistently produces homegrown stars the fanbase can get behind.
I want them to win again.

One would hope it might shame Hal into taking action.

Who is everyone rooting for in the AL and NL now?

In order -
#1 Not Boston
#2 Not Houston
#3 Not SF
#4 Brewers
#5 Don't care.

Good way to look at it. If LA is eliminated it becomes a matter of rooting against certain teams - Boston, Houston, SF. After that, don’t care.

Dodgers for me

[Stache Fan]

My offseason plan:

1. Sign a franchise shortstop, preferably Correa but Seager would also work. What do you do with our middle infield prospects? Well..

2. Acquire Matt Olson for a package of Anthony Volpe and Luis Medina.

3. Sign Robbie Ray.

I don't see any catchers available who would be a significant upgrade over Sanchez, so I'll roll with him for another year. I don't like it either, but catching is ass across the league.

Would keep Torres and Urshela and try and let them rebuild value. Torres was trending up towards the end of the year so I'm optimistic.

1B Olson, Voit backup or traded
2B Torres
SS Correa
3B LeMahieu
C Sanchez, backup Sands
roving Urshela


CF Hicks (lol, we'll see what happens)
LF Stanton/Gallo
RF Judge

SP1 Cole
SP2 Severino
SP3 Ray
SP4 Taillon
SP5 Montgomery

injuries to the rotation will be pretty easily absorbed with Cortes, German, Waldichuk, Garcia waiting in the wings.

I'm okay with the bullpen as is.

My wife is a Dodger fan and somehow my daughter decide she was a Rays fan a couple years ago so I'm OK if either win but I can't say I'm actively rooting for either.

Can't edit my last post, but the A team lineup you're running out is:

Correa SS
Judge RF
Stanton DH
Olson 1B
Torres 2B
LeMahieu 3B
Gallo LF
Hicks CF
Sanchez C

Out of curiosity, why SF?

Out of curiosity, why SF?

I live in the area, don't need that kind of grief from their fans. And I guess I started to really dislike them about the time they got Bonds and never really changed.

[Yankee Tripper]

I wonder what the cost would be to acquire Willson Contreras, Cubs are clearly in rebuild mode and he only has 1 year of arbiration left.

[ncyankeeefan]

I'm done with baseball until spring 2022, I don't care who wins as long as its not Boston. If Cashman and Boone return, not sure if I can stomach another season.

2017 seems so long ago doesn't it? We all had so much hope about the future. Sad really.

[X marked]

Kay on his show is ripping the entire Yankees organization but is avoiding the elephant in the room, namely Cashman, what a shill.

[ymike673]

Why does everyone's prospective lineup for next year still include Gallo. I don't care if he is under contract. Please trade him far away. Do we really need him for an entire season to bat .150? And you know they will continue to bat him 4th or 5th.

I figured it was something like that. I wasn't a huge of Brian Sabean but other than that I have no axe to grind with the Giants. I'd root for them over the Dodgers any day.

Any interest in Baez during free agency?
