So, where does Kershaw land? Back in L.A.? Do the evil Yankme's break out the check book again? Do the BoSox jump in? What about the Astros?

I think Kershaw stays where he is.

Sadly I also think that choke artist hillbilly douche Kimbrell comes back to Boston. I saw that clown come busting up into interviews with some good Boston players in the post-game and without any provocation or interest begin giving his goat ass opinion. I love the Sox but fuck that guy.

I'm afraid we're going to see Machado's dirty cheating illiterate ass in the National League next season. They were talking even before the Series was over that he and Bryce Harper are both going to end up in Philly.

Philly? Aww, Hell Naw!!! It's time for the Braves to step out there and start adding a couple of big time pieces. The Astros broke it down and built back up, then started adding major players like Justin Verlander. The Braves have established a nucleus of young, talented guys. Time to get serious.

I'd rather lose than have Asshole Machado on my team.

Just spitballing here but...

Harper - Yankees
Machado - Cubs
Kershaw - Dodgers

Yeah, but I'd take Harper and Kershaw.

We probably couldn't afford anyone else for the next 10 years but it would be a fun, short ride.

Not yet. With the gold gloves going out last night, I expect something from Snags about how much a load he blew last night.

And then Buzz to bitch about Rizzo having to share it.

I'm shocked Molina won his 9th, actually. Only 2 catchers have more.

11/14. And MVP the next day.

Greg Maddux won another one.

Love this signing. Plus, they signed Brian McCann to a 1 year deal as well. Two very experienced guys, which the Braves need. Now, to be fair, I'm a little concerned about Donaldson. He's only one year removed from 3 MVP caliber seasons. But he seriously fell off last year and was bounced around. Do teams know something? Honestly, I've only followed his stats/production and not behind the scenes. Is he damaged goods?

Either way, here's hoping he can resurrect his career in the NL. If he can, and McCann is half way decent, the Bravos just got a lot better.

Need a couple of legit starters as much as anything else, though.

No stopping the Bravo's now! World Series! 120!

Chop on, Josh Donaldson

I think Donaldson is fine. It just so happened he was somewhat injured during his trade season. He was bought to help make the Indians to do some damage in the postseason. Basically a rental. He came on strong during the end of the season.
