The Dodgers led the league in payroll the past two seasons, but decided to keep costs down this winter by spending just $44.5 million in free agency – and folks believe they have morphed into the Pittsburgh Pirates, says BNightengale
They have won at least 104 games in four of the last five full seasons, including a franchise-record 111 victories last season.
It’s as if they spent the winter shopping at Walmart while everyone else hung out at Oscar de la Renta, letting free agents Trea Turner, Justin Turner, Cody Bellinger and Tyler Anderson walk and replacing them with bargain-basement deals for Noah Syndergaard, J.D. Martinez, David Peralta, Jason Heyward, Alex Reyes and Shelby Miller. “It’s just the nature of the beast,’’ Kershaw tells USA TODAY Sports.
“I don’t mind it,’’ Roberts says. “I think that the smartest people in the room know that you don’t win a postseason in the winter. So, a lot of teams are getting a lot of [attention], which is great, but I know our guys believe we still have a good ballclub.’’ The way he looks this spring, with his velocity jumping back up to 96-mph and higher, he could turn out to be the free-agent pickup of the year for just $13 million.
“It was devastating,’’ Williams told USA TODAY Sports, “he became a shell of what he was. The disease ate him alive. He was drowning every day from it and ultimately died from it.
