Is this Dodgers thing viewed as incredibly awesome and legendary as it's starting to be viewed in Los Angeles? I'm not the biggest baseball fan and I certainly won't suddenly start coming here showing my undying love for the Blue. But, I'm just curious as to how other baseball fans across the country are seeing this.

If 400M doesn't buy winning a team, not sure what would!

Was a better story when the most money spent was in last place.

Happy for Mattingly. Almost got fired over it.

I also believe that Mattingly is a good guy, plus he was a pretty decent hitter in his day, so that plugs right in with the job!

I never mind the Dodgers, always kinda pull for them against most opponents.
It's good for baseball when they're good, IMO.
Big Donnie Bat fan here, glad to see him enjoying success.

Released

Kyle Farnsworth, TB

Mark Reynolds, CLE

Guys on contending teams not getting the job done; let go. Teams eat rest of salary.

Pohlands don't even read baseball transactions. They read expense and profit reports.

This poor guy has been blessed with a far longer career than he's ever deserved. It was only a matter of time before his release happened.

And only the Twins would make their fans suffer by making him play out his contract.
SO we have that going for us, which is nice ......

They did that with Capps, so might as well with some of these other studs.

LEN still believes Blackburn will be back on the roster before the end of this season.

Darvish continues to impress
Just lost another no-no today, barely.
Here's why you love AJ .... Got ejected after arguing about the first base runners walk.
Back your pitcher
Back your team
He's always done that.

Great statements by rangers and tigers, following the Giants lead from last year ...
Not planning to allow suspended cheaters back on team for postseason ... Good for them (if they follow thru)

AND, IRS reports!!

Yes, thanks for posting this Todd! I saw that last night and it made me so proud. Punto is a winner. The Twins have sucked since he left. It's a shame that most of you could not appreciate his great value when he was with the Twins. Danny DeVito is a great baseball mind.
