Whoa. Prospect capital went way up, Price though will only be $16 million per year for the Dodgers, that isn't bad. Looks like Joc to Angels will still happen.
I guess the Dodgers are essentially giving Verdugo, Downs, Maeda and some for Betts, Price, and it appears they will land Graterol who is a fairly touted prospect. Somewhat flipping Downs for Graterol, not bad in itself.
Dodgers - Betts, Price, Graterol
Red Sox - Verdugo, Downs, Wong
Twins - Maeda

Joc Pederson deal is apparently now off in the wake of this altered Betts deal. Seems interesting.

Good point, but I think you would agree, some line has to be drawn?
It is messed up we even have to have this debate. Fuck the whole league, at one level, for looking the other way when it was convenient.
I remember when Lance Armstrong's cheating got exposed. I was pissed above all else. I know it sounds trite, but I think this is true: how are we to explain this kind of shit to our kids?

THINK OF THE KIDS is a weak argument. Just tell them the truth. Let them learn a little something about the world as it is not what everyone thinks it should be.

I do not think the question is that easy Gankak. And anyway, what is the truth? Make money and fuck the haters?
That is a fast road to barbarity, sir!

This is a terrible take. Here I am, the SF liberal arguing with an Ohio dude, defending capitalism.
Sure I'm an Ohio dude too. Once upon a time.

Yeah my response sucked.
The real response would be, right, "People cheat. Do you really want to be a cheater?"
I think a lot of kids get that message. Which makes me a bit less depressed.
edit: I would be interested in "what do we tell the children?" stories from actual parents. I do not have any kids. As an enchanter, I view all the pets I've charmed as my kids. Sadre's kids.

Indeed. Also, once again, this scandal has given Jomboy a much bigger audience which he deserves.

Parent of 4. My message was cheating is bad and accomplishing anything while cheating takes away from that accomplishment. Also: the world sucks and is never fair.

You're fine dismissing those opinions and theories but when it comes to opinions and theories -- not facts -- of other teams cheating (besides the Sox), it's suddenly completely acceptable. I'm sure you're being fully objective.

MLB plotting playoff expansion — with reality TV twist
Imagine a team picking its playoff opponent. Think about Brian Cashman and the Yankees deciding whether to face the Red Sox or avoid them in the first round of the postseason. All on live TV.
MLB considering new format for postseason
Could Selection Sunday be coming to Major League Baseball? MLB is considering a significant restructuring of its playoff format, one which would begin with a dramatic live television show during which two teams from each league would have the ability to select their first-round opponents. The...

The idea of teams choosing their opponents is something I could get behind.
