I have been trying to avoid everything until I get my hands on the game but I decided to bite and read this. Great write up and I’m super glad I read this one. Thank you.

Yeah I’m with you the only trade I would Really like to see is one that sends marisnick packing.
Trade partner: Chicago White Sox Targets: RHP Lucas Giolito, RHP Kendall Graveman, SS Tim Anderson
The Dodgers have the second-best record in the National League, but they understand they’ll probably be in a pennant race until the bitter end with the Diamondbacks and Giants, and maybe even the Padres if they get hot. The Dodgers have a pressing need to improve their pitching staff, both the rotation and the bullpen. Their starters rank ninth in the NL in collective ERA and their bullpen ranks 10th. The Dodgers also could use an upgrade at shortstop. They are an obvious trade match with the White Sox, who have players to fit all three needs.
Giolito will be a free agent after this season, and the White Sox are going to move him by the deadline. He struggled in his last outing against the Mets, allowing eight runs in 3 2/3 innings, but has posted a 3.96 ERA in 20 starts and been worth 2.3 WAR, according to Baseball Reference. He grew up in Southern California, so might also be willing to sign a long-term contract with Los Angeles in the offseason. Graveman, who is signed through 2024, would give the Dodgers another back-end type reliever. He’s logged a 3.07 ERA in 42 appearances with eight saves in as many opportunities. The final piece that would make sense for Los Angeles is Tim Anderson, who’s having a down year, batting .231/.268/.271 with only 11 extra-base hits in 313 plate appearances. However, a change of scenery might be what he needs. Last year he hit .301 in 79 games and was a perfect 13-for-13 in stolen-base attempts. Anderson has a $14 million team option for 2024.
In return, the Dodgers could offer one of their top two catching prospects, Diego Cartaya or Dalton Rushing, as the headliner, along with one of their second-base prospects, Jorbit Vivas or Rayne Doncon, and a starting pitching prospect such as Gavin Stone or Michael Grove. Other prospect combinations could work. The Dodgers’ system is so deep there are many variations to make a deal like this work for both sides.
I’m the minority on this show mostly because I did not follow it before it released and came into the show with zero hype and low expectations. I enjoyed it and am confident they will build on it and have an even better product with season 2
Dang it I don’t have time to finish 2 point campus before the 31st. I feel like we just got that game
The fact that Sheehan was able to hang in and get the dub was pretty impressive
Really excited to see vesia killin it. His pitching since coming back from IL has been nails. Need beuhler to come back strong so we can send Thor packing
The entire plot of most CW shows
Delayed due to rain
Delayed due to heavy rain.
Delayed weather
That’s what everyone said in the off-season yet here we are with a 90% chance to make the playoffs. Once we get walker and Hershey back we will be looking good.
Get some cat man. We need to extend this lead on the dbacks
No kidding that IL stint did him some good to get his head right.
His time will come next year. He needs more confidence in his at bats
You know what yeah I’ll take this on. Could be fun!
I’ve never wanted to be a mod so I have no idea what it entails other than what you listed but I will help.
Dream home - sucks, easy to pay off and not worth it
Wanted - meh there are enough ship battles as is.
3rd one I don’t even remember so I’m really kicking myself especially if I can’t repick these on ng+
