┗Fire Tiger God is a mess haha
┗Joo Seung-cheol is also on a career path, so is it normal for him to be shabby when he sees Fierce Tiger?
┗┗Normal
┗The pitchers were a disaster except Ko Young-hwan
┗┗It doesn’t seem like it’s all that bad, but the AL has a lot of hit-and-run losses, so he ranks 2nd in WAR among Houston starters.
┗┗Shin Su-ho is in NL?
┗┗Shin Soo-ho is right to fail haha

“… So, Tatis Jr.? I heard correctly/”
-“The Dodgers have nothing to lose, right? Freeman is out due to injury and Betts is currently struggling. Wouldn’t the batting lineup need to be strengthened to catch the Yankees? 3 consecutive major league losses. If not this time, when will you try it? Even the key players are getting older.”
At the words of the Padres general manager over the phone, Bears, the general manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, almost unconsciously suggested that the trade proceed immediately.
Currently, the most dominant team in the major league is the New York Yankees, and the Dodgers are said to be performing just as well, but the batting lineup of Ji Maeng-ho, Judge, Soto, and Stanton was still burdensome.
In comparison, the only batters that the Dodgers can boast of are Joo Seung-cheol, Josh Sean, Ohtani, and Will Smith. As expected, the vacancy between Betts, who was underperforming, and Freeman, who left due to injury, was large.
Ji Maeng-ho, Judge, and Soto were already competing for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in the Major League, and Stanton, the 4th hitter, was also among the Dodgers’ hitters, except for Ohtani, who could confidently say that he was better than Stanton. Br〉
However, when Tatis Jr. Came in to fill that void, he was able to make up for the weight of the batting lineup that was lighter than the Yankees’ batting lineup to some extent.
‘If only Tatis could play in the first base position where Freeman was missing…’
Tatis’ performance over the past three years, including this season…
2025-
0.280/0.347/0.522/0.869 35HR 123RBI 19SB
2026-
0.297/0.365/0.578/0.943 41HR 119RBI 16SB
2027-
0.252/0.335/0.477/0.812 16HR 57RBI 12SB
… Although this season’s performance was worse than previous years, Tatis Jr. Was a hitter who was good at driving, so it was a performance that could be expected to rebound.
If he comes, he is a batsman who can definitely improve the quality of the batting lineup.
However, because suggesting a star player like Tatis was the same as wanting to completely wipe out the Dodgers’ farm, Gomes general manager could not readily say anything.
“Please wait a moment?”
-“Of course. “It’s strange to give the okay to such a big deal right away.”
After asking for understanding for a moment, the Gomes general manager began to carefully calculate the ages of the current key players.
‘Freeman is 37, Betts is 34, Candelario, Ohtani, Glasnow is 33, Smith is 32… As expected, after this year, winning will become increasingly difficult. If you’re going to run, this year is definitely the perfect time.’
The future of the team and three consecutive World Series wins. The scales went back and forth in Director Gomes’ head, but there was only one choice to make here.
“… “Is there a player you want on our farm?”
The Dodgers, like the Yankees, were a team whose future was bought with money.
-“Haha, let’s talk about Martilla, who is currently playing left field for the Dodgers, McFadden, a catcher in the Double A League, and Bartlett, a starting pitcher in the A League. Oh, instead, we will give you Profar and Cronenworth.”
The Padres general manager gritted his teeth when he heard that the Padres general manager was dumping old and expensive players, pretending to be patronizing by sweeping up the entire farm by naming both the first and second ranked prospects in the team, but Tatis Jr. Accepted all of those things He was a player worth recruiting.
… Only this year.
I knew that if this year passed, no matter how much Tatis Jr. Was received, the trade would inevitably be a loss for the Dodgers, but the important thing is this year, when the team’s first three-game losing streak in the World Series is at stake.
“… “Then let’s talk slowly.”
-“Yes, it’s the All-Star break anyway, so we have a lot of time. Haha.”
Therefore, General Manager Gomes had no choice but to nod his head to the suggestion of the Padres General Manager.
