Time to pay up for the run they’ve been on.
Someone please tell me the Dodgers have a plan to make it out of the first round of the playoffs next year. They obviously have learned that winning a record number of regular season games means next to nothing if you can’t beat the wild card team in the first round. Or are they going to wait until the trade deadline in August to put a team on the field. Bellinger gone, T. Turner gone, J. Turner gone and you get J.D. Martinez and Syndagard. Two more players nobody else wanted on one tear deals. Just wow!
