: Hello everyone

: Expectations for Urias tonight? Is 5 innings too much to expect?
|
| 8:02 |
: To expect, yes.

: It’s time for Dodger (and Ray) Baseball!

: Just killing time until the Wiz play tonight

: Hi Brendan!

: Hi everybody, Jay and I are excited to spend Game 3 hanging out with you all. First pitch is in just a few minutes.

 Jay Jaffe: Good evening and welcome to the chat! I’m popping in for a few minutes here but i’ll have to duck out soon t help put the kiddo to bed.

: Looks like beating Charlie Morton might be the best shot at revenge against the 2017 Astros that the Dodgers will ever get
|
| 8:03 |
: If Tampa Bay kept a payroll similar to the Dodgers, do you think they would create a better team than the Dodgers?
|
| 8:03 |
Jay Jaffe: It’s an odd coincidence that one of those Astros is again facing the Dodgers in the World Series. Morton was the guy who closed out Game 7 with four innings of one-run ball. He obviously wasn’t hitting but he’s said he was aware of the trash can banging

Free agency begins five days after the end of the World Series. As in other recent offseasons, FanGraphs is once again facilitating a contract-crowdsourcing project, the idea being to harness the wisdom of the crowd to better understand and project the 2020-21 free-agent market.
This year, we’ve added a few new features to the ballots based on reader feedback. You now have the option to indicate that a player will only receive a minor-league contract, or won’t receive one at all. We’ve elected to show averages from the 2017-2019 seasons so that this year’s shortened slate doesn’t skew the numbers, but we’ve also included 2020 stats as a point of recent reference. 2020 salary figures represent players’ pre-pandemic contract amounts. Statistics are prorated to full season where noted; the projected WAR figures are from the first cut of the 2021 Steamer600 projections.
Below are ballots for eight of this year’s free agents — in this case, yet another group of pitchers. Read the rest of this entry »

Below are ballots for 10 of this year’s free agents — in this case, a collection of outfielders. A quick note on Marcell Ozuna – Steamer600 references our existing depth charts for positional playing time (and adjustments). If his WAR projection strikes you as a bit low, it could be because it assumes that he’ll be used mostly at DH, as he was by the Braves. Read the rest of this entry »
