Two takes 1 year with dodgers, means there was a shot he would have taken QO

Zero shot he would have taken it. He only took this deal because he had already seen what was out there and because it is $3.5 MORE than the QO

[Seattle or Bust]

Teo will probably do well in Los Angeles. Easy park to hit in, he'll hit like 6th.

He's not built to lead an offense.

Doubt it. I think he took the contract with the dodgers so he could get good numbers and sign a big deal next year

It's a head scratcher. If they weren't going to give him a QO, they should've traded him instead of Sewald at the trade deadline.

Supposedly they tried

“Simply didn’t feel like we got a fair offer in what we think he’s worth,” Dipoto said, per Curtis Crabtree of FOX 13 Seattle. “And we don’t feel like we’ve seen the best of what Teo has to give.”

They probably didn't try enough, or were asking too much.

I really didn't want Teo back. He swings at shit 10 feet off the plate.

Well, this is interesting:

“Only $15MM of that salary will be paid to Hernandez this year, as the rest is deferred and will be paid out in installments from 2030-39.”

What the hell? It’s like he’s getting a pension or something. Freaking Dodgers and their deferred payment plans.

And i agree with GL Storm - Teo swings at garbage. I’d still want a draft pick, but happy he’s gone.
