Yea nice to see them get fleeced in a trade for once. And of course great the Brewers don't have to play this guy for the next 7 years.

Yea at some point you kind of feel bad for Kershaw/Dodgers. They've done so much right in running that team and keep blowing it and/or getting cheated in the playoffs. I hate the big markets as much as the next guy, but they deserve 1. They also home grew a ton of the team so it's not as 'evil' so to speak. Of course they add big moves too but the biggest part of their success is drafting/developing and then keeping the right young guys. I guess the Jansen collapse is theoretically good for trying to get them to pay up for Hader, but I know they have internal options too.

For Choi, didn't see it mentioned in the posts here but what was option situation? I'd assume they could've just let him sit in AAA all year right? Although they might have given him their word they wouldn't or something. Tough to blame the team as Thames was doing just fine as the lefty in the platoon and you had him under a few million contract, so can't just cut him. I guess the shrewd move would've been to try and trade Thames since he'd get more back and it would save money. But grand scheme Choi is just a mid level borderline starter, obviously that's better than what we trotted out this year though.
