In a sport that rarely produces dynasties, the Los Angeles Dodgers are world leaders. Meet among the most intelligent teams of the Great Leagues, but also among the richest. Aggressive but pragmatic. Decorated with radiant talent, but enhanced by a considerable depth. His movements during the last media decade have rarely been motivated by the need, but more than to improve in the margins, or to take advantage of the opportunities, when it comes to the moment, the gluttony. This timed bath was converted into a perfect instant.
While the San Diego Padres’ long-time rivals and rival general hypercompetitive manager, AJ Preller, is working to raise a roster in ascension, acquiring a series of high-level abridgment launchers, the Dodgers, possibly the best in the present and most sib ‘n largo plazo, esperaron un oportunidad que parecían contentos con perder. When the mishma actually makes them read the fires on the tarde, to superior in a duel to the New York Mets by Trevor Bauer, the best free agent agent by a wide margin, he says:
We are ours, and we lie all the days.
Recuerden esto: el año pasado, los Dodgers perdieron a Kenta Maeda y Hyun-Jin Ryu, quienes terminaron segundo y tercero, respivemente, en la contienda por el Cy Young de la Liga Americana con nuevos equipos. Dejaron that Rich Hill will continue his illustrious career in other houses, not obtaining any of the decoration with David Price, who opted to participate in the time agreed by COVID, and also won the World Series, with a group of late launchers with the second most effective performance of the sport.
Bauer, who agreed to a contract for three years and $ 102 million that includes salary options after each of the first two seasons, is one of these teams after his best season, offering a fifth Cy Young award to a staff that you can do more in the future. He was revived and Clayton Kershaw was revived, receiving a share of his best form in his time of 32 years. If you are a Walker Buehler, who can be the best launcher of the game during these three years. And there’s a collection of talented young brave men encapsulated by Julio Urías, Dustin May and Tony Gonsolin, both of which have a strong following in the rotation.
All league teams are in addition to the necessary entry jump for the 102 additional games in the 2021 calendar, but the Dodgers and Padres each have one with legitimate midfield launchers. Los siete de los Padres: Yu Darvish, Blake Snell, Dinelson Lamet, Joe Musgrove, Chris Paddack, Adrian Morejon y MacKenzie Gore, proyectando tener un WAR de 16.5 seg FanGraphs, según ZiPS. The site of the Dodgers (Kershaw, Buehler, Price, Urias, May, Gonsolin and now Bauer) is projected at 17.8.
Los Padres proposes an increased number of projected players for teenagers of 1.5 and WAR in 2021:
Fernando Tatis Jr .: 4.4
Manny Machado: 3.8
Ha-seong Kim: 3.0
Trent Grisham: 2.4
Jake Cronenworth: 1.9
Tommy Pham: 1.7
Jurickson Profar: 1.6
Wil Myers: 1.6
The Dodgers are here (even if Justin Turner wanted to, he seems more likely):
Mookie Betts: 5.9
Cody Bellinger: 5.4
Corey Seager: 4.7
Will Smith: 3.2
Max Muncy: 2.5
Gavin Lux: 2.4
Chris Taylor: 2.2
The Padres-Dodgers games feature some of the most memorable moments of baseball this past year: Grisham dio a jonon a Kershaw, Machado se burló de un Brusdar Graterol, Bellinger robándole un HR a Tatis en un lugar enorme, y stara en la television durante todo el verano. Elegir el mejor equipo parece onmoontlik.
Pero tal vez seebastante einfach. It’s been easy to record that the Dodgers aggregate at Betts, the second highest player in the game, and a roster that was the favorite to win the 2020 World Cup. And that Bauer, the current winner of the Cy Young Prize of the The National League joins a team of 2020 that has won all but one of the most dominant seasons of all time.
Bauer ended the time of 60 games with an efficiency of 1.73, surpassed only by Shane Bieber, and there was one of the top five in WHIP (0.79), percentage of punches (36.0) and OPS of the opponents (.522), increasing it enough dramatically as for many to wonder if their rupture was anomalous.
Bauer, from 30 years, entered the league as the general selection No. 3 of a draft cargada class in 2011 and was disembarked more than a battle cavalry in the middle of the rotation as a verdict as, with an efficiency of 3.99 and the promotion of 181 entries from 2014 to 2019. We can descend its time 2020 as the sub-product of a small sample tamana, or of a conventional calendar that the two continuously expanding paragraphs in the Medio Oeste, or of its present use of the various extras that one can see, as one by velocities of giro significantly elevated. We can attribute it to an imaginative and meticulous worker who thrives in a backyard with the Cincinnati Reds, and finally recovers before the end of his 20s.
Andrew Friedman did not issue a single new number contract in his first five years as president of the Dodgers’ baseball operations. Speaking of the 2019 season, with the most manageable nominee for the baseball bailout, here is an unfortunate move to refer Gerrit Cole and Anthony Rendón, a loan deal by Betts, the company with an extension of $ 365 million the Dodgers have a .712 victory percentage and their first title in 32 years.
Three weeks after an emotional triumph over the Tampa Bay Rays, Friedman summed up the Dodgers’ transmission and expressed a need to repeat in 2021. If this is the mantra that has been spreading the team text messages:
“Seamos cerdos”.
The Dodgers are here to stay.
