Grain of salt from Heyman, who basically runs PR for Boras...

I believe the only unpaid suspensions are the PED ones, but would need to confirm.

For the Dodgers, Vesia, Hurt, Klein, Dreyer, and Eder are all dumpster dives. For the Yankees, Hill, Headrick, Blackburn, and Yarbrough are all similar. In-season FA after a release is literally what is being bemoaned, and that is what those Yankees are. DFA trade is a trade to bypass waivers. Smith and Hanifee have been really good this year by the way.

The Dodgers' current bullpen is: Tanner Scott, big time FA Alex Vesia, acquired in a trade for Dylan Floro Kyle Hurt, acquired in the same trade as Vesia Blake Treinen, bigish time FA Will Klein, DFA Trade Jack Dreyer, UDFA Edgardo Henriquez, international FA, small bonus Jake Eder, DFA Trade. I see a lot of dumpster diving there. Let's head to the Bronx... David Bednar, deadline trade last year Fernando Cruz, offseason trade for Jose Trevino Tim Hill, signed as in-season FA after being released Brent Headrick, waiver claim Camilo Doval, deadline trade last year Jake Bird, deadline trade last year. Ryan Yarbrough, signed last spring training after being released. Paul Blackburn, signed last summer after being released. Quite a bit of dumpster diving there too.

I'm sorry. Please stay awake.

Gleyber insurance...

Short is out of options, so probably hedging against him not making it through waivers or sticking around if he does.

It's been a necessity both times. In Toledo, Jake Miller, Troy Watson, and now SGL are out. In Erie, same with Sears, Hamm, Alba.

I noticed they went Bullpen Day instead of Madden yesterday. Maybe they wanted him ready just in case.

Only lefty left is DeJesus, and you have the three batter minimum.

I am intrigued by Vanasco...

If the Epstein walls start closing in, sure.

Assuming they get healthy and can get some guys back on minor league splits and get under the tax, in addition to the immense prospect cost I am seeing proposed here, you are also giving the competitive balance draft pick in 2027 as well as moving the comp pick for Skubal (and maybe one for Mize... and doubtful but possibly one for Flaherty) from after the first round to after the fourth. You are also losing the pool money allowing you to spread that money through what many are calling one of the strongest draft classes.
