Dodgers Sign A.J. Pollock

Jaypers · 01-24-2019, 12:38 PM

Guess the era of Verdugo in LA has come to an end.

Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal
#Dodgers in agreement with free-agent outfielder A.J. Pollock, pending physical, sources tell The Athletic. Terms of deal not known.

In April AJ will be on the DL and Verdugo will get plenty of time.

Jaypers · 01-24-2019, 12:41 PM

And yes, this means another team bows out of Harper's Bazaar.

Peties Army · 01-24-2019, 12:44 PM

I think we see a team saying “oh no we aren’t getting Harper, we better sign someone!”

Soxfanguy · 01-24-2019, 12:48 PM

What? Why?

Hamfisted9 · 01-24-2019, 12:48 PM

would the Dodgers just finally trade Verdugo...the kid needs a chance.

bradical · 01-24-2019, 12:51 PM

Oh, hey!

metsandweezer · 01-24-2019, 12:52 PM

Mets are getting Harper

Maybe they will let him go for Kluber now? I would like him in Cleveland.

texmcpherson · 01-24-2019, 12:55 PM

So what are the likely landing spots for Harper/Machado now?

Machado - White Sox?
Harper - Phillies?

Seems like there's no one else in contention.

Mystery team, maybe the Padres for machado?

Harper goes back tonight Nats. Been my thoughts all along

Zauron · 01-24-2019, 12:59 PM

Rockies would be a nice mystery team for Harper IMO

They're the only ones that have put anything on the table so far.

I’d say it’s pretty much the offer with a opt out

tlschwerz · 01-24-2019, 01:14 PM

Dodgers: "We aren't signing Bryce Harper to a 10 year deal. What if he's hurt at age 35 or 36?"

Also Dodgers: "Yeah, let's give a 31 year old A.J. Pollock a 4 year contract!"

Wade Mulroy · 01-24-2019, 01:17 PM

For whatever reason, AJ Pollock is one of those guys that I've always really liked. Hope he can stay healthy and do well in LA.

Bulldog55D · 01-24-2019, 01:18 PM

Good signing, good to see them finally doing something that makes sense.

anusinha · 01-24-2019, 01:25 PM

Congrats to the Dodgers for having the 2nd best fishy outfielder in Los Angeles

same here … and as a Phillies fan, I'm not really sure I would want Harper for 10 years. Not holding out for Trout either, but I am in a small minority to believe that Moniak and Haseley could be really good MLB OFers

Pollack @ 55/4=13.75 million per year.
Harper @ 300+/10=30+ million per year.

They can afford to be wrong with Pollack and replace him if need be. Harper's contract size will make it tough to do that.

CoolG · 01-24-2019, 01:35 PM

bummer
was hoping cubs-sox would make a play for AJ
he's legit if healthy
i see 22/70/.270 for him this year

mfw13 · 01-24-2019, 01:35 PM

The AAV of roughly $13-14 million a year is reasonable, but the 4-year length is going to come back and haunt the Dodgers, just like Carl Crawford & Adrian Gonzalez's deals did.

You're talking about a guy who has only had more than 500 PA once in his career, and only player more than 120 games twice.

You really think the Padres will dish out money to another big free agent, this time to Machado? I’m thinking a smaller FA like Moustakas.
