I appreciate how Trea is so honest about his uncomfortableness being traded/ a Dodger. It makes me feel like he is loyal and will become a core member of the team over time.

[@mattgerlacher5094]

He will.

[@ScoobyShotU]

Bro they'll be loyal to whoever pays them the most lol its easy to say he'll be happy with his contract now but if someone even offered him another million he's out of LA and I would be two fuck that shit hole of a town everyone thinks Cali and LA is awesome but it's the most overcrowded urban area in the US its retarded u can't do anything without being in the car for hours.

[@MrJonjontheman]

@@ScoobyShotU lol, sorry you got triggered with a second degree mention of a city. And trea literally said he wanted to spend the rest of his career with the Nats (do you really think that’s the decision someone who only cares about money makes?) and he said being traded to the Dodgers (which wasn’t his decision even though he’s getting paid more) felt like a business transaction rather than a human, personal decision. So, yes you’re right that decisions are based on money almost all the time when it comes to executives and higher ups, but there are countless examples of players valuing a team, community, culture, city, etc. more than money. It’s not black or white.

[@tomriddle8699]

@@ScoobyShotU altho I don't necessarily disagree with u bout la traffic. U have to consider that it's different for celebs & athletes who live in LA. They're not working 8-5pm job. They can enjoy LA more since there's so much to do. I'm willing to bet dodgers players don't have to show up to the stadium till like 2pm to begin "work".

[@candiceejones]

@@ScoobyShotU DC traffic also blows. Not quite to the degree of LA, but 495/295/95 around DC is a fucking dumpster fire. I've had no issues getting around LA that I didn't have in other major cities. Atlanta, New York Chicago, etc. You have literally the dumbest take lol.

I will never forget that night with scherzer. Right when the game started you feel the emotions of every dodger and dodger fan. Amazing to see one of my fave pitchers outside the Dodgers just dominate. Can't wait for the rest of the season.

I had the privilege of watching Max pitch every 5th day here in Washington for years. Dodger fans, you got the best gunslinger on the planet.

[@ferdinandpacania5215]

You just got to love the way Albert Pujols is showing his love and support to his Dodger teammates!

[@rogeralvarez638]

Trea Turner’s initial disappointment is understandable. He’s lived/played in Washington for 8 years! So getting traded and having all that go away in matter of seconds would throw anyone off. You’d think that after putting your heart soul into an organization, they’d give you a well deserved extension but it’s like he said he ultimately realized it’s a still and always has been a business.

[@davidkneitel1840]

Trea has some big arms to fill in that #6 uniform, but it seems to me that he will fit right in. He is a monster from what I have seen in the short time that I've seen him play. And Max is an welcome addition the the pitching rotation. I believe in this team. #repete #worldseries #dodgersblue

I'm not a Dodger's fan because I'm from Mo. Cardinals, Royals, and KC Chiefs......But I can appreciate talent when I see it. Scherzer might be a phsyco but dammit the guy can pitch and his ball has movement all over the plate which makes him nearly impossible to hit. Trea Turner is just a kid in my eyes, but he has so much talent and a great career ahead of him. I wish the Cards would get more talent like that. I was sad when the Cards traded Wong, he's still a great player.

While i hate the astros cheating thing and think the whole thing is bullshit, especially that the title wasn’t stripped. However, it is hard to argue against that their players are just good - cheating or not, they have some crazy talent, like they were and are just good at baseball and they have proved that this season.

[@kermithious]

how long is scherzer contract for?

[@Prkwon]

I think he is a free agent end of season...

[@raultorres6054]

He is a rental until the end of the season, then he becomes a free agent.

[@Prkwon]

@@raultorres6054 do you think we can resign him? Or want to depend on the playoffs?

[@raultorres6054]

@@Prkwon Dodgers have deep pockets $ but they have many players that will be one also free agents and will command high prices such as Seager,Taylor and Trea Turner, Dodgers also are on the hook for Bauer’s contact. These just a few players to mention but there is more like Kershaw that will also become a free agent at seasons end. So, signing Scherzer will take lots lots of money. It will be interesting how this unfold. Stay tune.
