Albert Pujols DFA.

Disgraceful
Extremely disrespectful

Agreed. What do y'all think happens now? Does he just retire now? Maybe sign with a foreign league?

[RosettaStoned]

Happy Bartolo Day everyone

Is today the anniversary of his first home run?

How are the Dodgers imploding like this?

How are the Dodgers imploding like this?

God is on the side of justice, that's why

I find this amusing coming from a Mets fan.

Those who wait for the championship through all the trials (1988, 1999, 2000, 2006, 2007, 2015, 2016, 2019) will be rewarded

Probably in about four or five years from now.

Bait criticized the Dodgers, the Dodgers benefitted for shortened season just like the Lakers did.

They didn't have to hit home runs because there were no fans, the power of the Dodgers lie in Homers and so far they're not hitting any, but other teams are

Especially, Justin Turner where are the Homers he hit in 2019

What do you mean? JT has hit the most homers on the team so far.

Could the days of the A's being based in Oakland be ending soon? The A's are considering relocation out of  the Bay Area, and that could impact the division alignment, depending on where they would end up.


MLB.com:

Concerned about a lack of progress in their efforts to privately finance a new state-of-the-art ballpark in downtown Oakland, the A’s have begun actively pursuing relocation.

The decision comes after Major League Baseball issued a statement on Monday instructing the A’s to explore other markets as they continue to pursue their proposed waterfront ballpark near Howard Terminal in Oakland.

"MLB is concerned with the rate of progress on the A's new ballpark effort with local officials and other stakeholders in Oakland," the league’s statement said. "The A's have worked very hard to advance a new ballpark in downtown Oakland for the last four years, investing significant resources while facing multiple roadblocks. We know they remain deeply committed to succeeding in Oakland, and with two other sports franchises recently leaving the community, their commitment to Oakland is now more important than ever.”

They should move to Portland!

The New York Metro area can totally support a third team. Bring back the Brooklyn Dodgers!

Dumb, why would the Athletics become a team they never were? They should move back to Philadelphia.

Does Philly really need two MLB teams? Come to think of it, does any city?

Pujols to the Dodgers

Did not see that one coming

Me neither. Looks like he's going to end his career with another Ring!

How many plate appearances will Albert Pujols make with the Dodgers?

I say 15 to 20.

How many plate appearances will Albert Pujols make with the Dodgers?

I say 15 to 20.

Bellinger's still injured, and I'd guess he won't be back before the end of the month. So I'll guess Pujols starts at first until Bellinger comes back, then hangs around the roster until the roughly the Trade Deadline, when the Dodgers pull off some big heist again and need to make space on the roster. So I'll say 100-145.

Okay, so clearly you know jacks**t about the Dodgers' current lineup. Max Muncy is the everyday first baseman; who can also play third, just in case Justin Turner is not available.

So, in other words, Pujols would play first base ,especially if the opposing starting pitcher were a leftie.

[RosettaStoned]

Possibly, but more likely Taylor would play SS, with Lux at 2B.

[RosettaStoned]

Gavin Lux coming through CLUTCH tonight!! I'm not worried about Corey Seagar being out!!

Any free agent predictions?
