2021 MLB and Rockies AA Look-back Thread

Thought we were going to be bros, bros

The Dodgers are making significant progress on a deal to acquire stars Max Scherzer and Trea Turner from the Nationals, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN (Twitter link). Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic echoes Passan’s report but adds that “hurdles remain” in getting the deal across the finish line. Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune suggests the Padres — reported to be on the verge of a Scherzer acquisition this afternoon — are now pessimistic about their chances of landing the three-time Cy Young award winner.

It’s a stunning development, one that would have massive repercussions in the National League playoff race. Scherzer and Turner are arguably the top two players on the trade market. The Dodgers acquiring both in a package deal — just a few hours after their division rivals had been expected to land Scherzer — would be a league-altering move if the deal is pushed across the finish line.

Nats get a haul. Josiah Gray, Keibert Ruiz, Gerardo Carillo, Donovan Casey.

Sucks in that would have loved Max to the Padres.

Worked out for the best not giving up any prospects. Tatis just needs to go have surgery and get it fixed.

Hot take- Padres might not be that bad without Tatis. Defensively they are almost certainly better

Tatis who? I love Cronenworth

The FS1 announcers, last night, were touting Tatis as an MVP candidate and ahead of Bryce Harper. Why? Because he plays premium defensive position and Harper doesn't. Completely glossing off that Tatis leads the league in errors.

The idea that he is not an mvp candidate is dumb.

What possible argument is there for Harper to be an MVP candidate?

That's nice, there are a half dozen candidates ahead of Harper at least no matter how you slice the stats. Wheeler has a more legitimate angle but I doubt Wheeler wins it.
