And the Dodgers sign Yamamoto to a 12 year $325M deal

That’s actually disgusting. No human should get that kind of money.

Hey Arte, this is how you build a winner, by spending money on top talent and not washed up guys way past their prime.

That's only 1/2 an Ohtani, bargain baby!

 

[kingsboy11]

Spending over a billion on 2 players is wild, and one player hasn't even played in MLB yet.

 

[kingsholygrail]

If he's as good as they say, Dodgers got their new ace.

 

[Telos]

Jesus Christ, the Dodgers are looking crazy and just going full on Oprah with the trades and signings. Sounds like they spent exactly what they needed. The Yankees offered $300M and the Mets offered the same $325M and we matched. The Dodgers better be insane because if they continue to choke after all this that would be nuts.

Success or failure, it would be the most Dodgers thing.

It feels kind of like the 2003-2004 Avalanche with Kariya and Selanne added to Forsberg, Sakic, Hejduk, Tanguay, etc.
Everyone was ready to crown them as champs in pre-season and then they just kind of crapped the bed.

Except this, we potentially get a decade of a full on dynasty, or glorious failure.

They have the TMac of baseball so anything can happen.

Ohtani effect. Mets offered the same amount, and he chose the Doyers because he wanted to be with Shotime.

Two words that will never ever be mentioned together. LOL.

I grew up loving the Dodgers, but at this point I am rooting for a Dodger bankruptcy.

I am not a fan of trying to buy pennants or championships.

Good thing the Dodgers also have one of the best farm systems and development team then.

Yeah, the Dodgers are everything I wish my Cubs would be. Build from within with a strong farm, pay your best players, and be willing to spend on free agents when you need to.

 

[kingsfan28]

I'm so glad i missed the ram game. They gave the Giants 3 chances to win it and if not for a missed field goal at the end, they lose.

Somehow they're in the playoffs with Seattle's loss. Just get in , right?

Somebody check on Herby

I aged 20 years today. 10 during the game and another 10 leaving the Rose Bowl.

It’s right up there with Kings/Hawks Game 7 for me for stress level.

 

[KINGS17]

The two college football playoff games were great. The rest of the bowl games sucked.

The Pop-Tarts Bowl had their mascot lower itself into a giant toaster.

Then there were all those coaches having various liquids poured on them like mayo and eggnog.

You see Pop-Tarts everywhere but no Mom-Tarts. This is all thanks to the Pastryarchy.

STOP THE PRESSES!! the Rams Beat the 49ers...the Ram beat the 49ers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ru4reals]

Haven't paid much attention to football for the past few years but the fact that the Rams are in the playoffs mean Sean McVay should win coach of the year in a landslide. My goodness this team is suppose to stink real bad but the job he's done this year is remarkable.

You mean the 49ers' practice squad.

 

[21Dog]

It was a glorified preseason game for both teams.

Just glad the good guys won despite the lack of importance of it all.
