I’m shocked tbh. So bye bye Lux?
….
Laughable at this point.
I’ll wait until a name I recognize says something
The rumors as of 12 hours ago was he was gonna last minute with the mariners, that’s tough
Is this a legit source?
Lmao
Mmmm I don’t know is this reliable? Why would they sign him?
Wasn’t this the same source that said Kim to the Mariners
Saying this again, if you’re Asian and you’re visiting the US or moving to the US, you come to La or NYC. If you’re coming here for a job and the pay is the same, you’ll either move to La or nyc with Chicago being a possibility. Stop doing mental gymnastics and thinking other cities had a shot. Yu Darvish went to Texas and was the only Asian person in all of Texas because they offered him the most.
/s kinda
The Mariners are fucked (again)
can we get a passan check in here please
Hahahahahaha
Why do they even need all these players
The Dodgers cementing their legacy as the New York Yankees of baseball.
Not entirely sure if the translation came through great, but it looks like he turned down more money elsewhere to sign with the Dodgers. Article says he spoke with Ohtani which influenced his decision
edit: his agent is the same agent as Ohtani’s from what I can tell
So this makes Will Smith and maybe Pages as the likely only homegrown opening day starters for the Dodgers and 4/5 maybe 5/6 (with Sasaki) of the starting rotation is the same.
They are playing a different game
Oh good. I was worried they were lacking talent /s
So are they just signing everyone?
And that’s gonna be sasaki too in like 12 days 💀
Looooooool who didn’t predict this
Now get ready for Tanner Scott to also sign with them. Lol
At a certain point they only have so many roster spots
wtf, man.
If this is true then lux is getting traded right???
So it’s just impossible to sign people nowadays? Dodgers just get everyone?
If I can’t believe in a defense first, cheap infielder coming to us as our only signing, what else isn’t real?
Yeah maybe baseball isn’t the sport for me
Hahahahahaha!
man why though
West Coast ‘00s era Yankees. May this be their post 2009 period somehow.
I don’t even know what to say at this point
At this point I’m convinced the Dodgers can sign Daniel Vogelbach to play shortstop and people will still be upset.
Whatever the fuck ever. We’re getting nothing and going to have to like it I guess.
Is this how non Yankees fans have felt for the last 40 years
Baseball is not for broke ppl
Why are people losing their shit over the Dodgers signing an extremely light hitting utility infielder at an AAV of like $4.5?
He’s the replacement for Rojas after next year in the same way Edman is the replacement for Taylor even though he’s got one year left.
Dodgers just like thinking ahead when they find a guy they like.
By the looks of it, he can opt out after 3 years if he gets his sea legs and in the mean time he’s gonna chill in LA. Given the number of Koreans in the area I’d bet you anything he’s got family/friends in the city.
🙄
Dodgers are repeating as champions i can already tell.
Easiest job in the world is the guy making the Notable Mariners Offseason Additions graphic.
– I say this as a Mariners fan.
At this point I think sports sites have a default template that says “Asian star ” & #Name & ” signs with Dodgers.”
I’m confused by this guy’s name. This isn’t the guy that was on the Padres right?
Major League Dodgers. The rest of the league is just a farm system.
