Dodgers wont stop making moves, went into the week with the bullpen with a.lot of question marks and now have one of the best bullpens in baseball. The baseball world isnt even getting over getting mad about Tanner Scott and then the Dodgers reportedly, sign Kirby Yates. what does this mean for the upcoming CBT? will MLB make rules to make cheap owners happy? we shall see. Giants also make a bullpen move and sign Joey Lucchesi o a minor league deal

The Dodgers get their man and get another Japanese superstar in Roki Sasaki! And the rest of baseball is pissed. If you’re a Dodger fan who cares, and if you’re anyone else it feels too easy, did the dodgers play by all the rules?? We take on some bad contracts to help our teams in very different ways.  What’s the state of the NL West these next couple years? Are the Padres overrated? How set are the DBacks for that 2nd spot for the NL West? Are the Giants going to be able to compete for a Wild Card spot?? This and so much more on this weeks episode!! 

Called out sick last week, and both teams made some solid moves. Dodgers sign infield utility Hye-Seong Kim and trade Gavin Lux for some prospects. Does this mean the Dodgers are done or do they make a move for a reliever or another outfielder? Giants sign future hall of famer and certified AARP member Justin Verlander to a one year 15 million dollar deal. What can you expect out of him at age 42? Is the unicorn able to fight off Father Time another year? And it is reported the Giants want to add another bat before the season. Are they going to make a big splash in free agency or trade? Or will a mild upgrade do to compete for a playoff spot? Does the Padres family drama take them out of Roki Sasaki running? Who will win the sweepstakes? Or was it the Dodgers all along? This and so much more on this weeks episode!
