Heck the Reds scored the most, 4 and 5 runs.

Those three only cost the Dodgers money. Lucrative deals but just money. Only Glasnow was acquired through trade. He cost the Dodgers Pepiot. What the Dodgers have produced are guys like Pepiot, Buehler, May, Sheehan etc which probably just isn’t good enough.

Even the offensive side is heavy on the outside the organization guys. Ohtani IFA, Betts trade, Freeman trade, Teoscar FA, Edman trade. Not knocking the Dodgers farm system but the Dodgers major players are from outside the organization. For as high as the Dodgers farm system is constantly rated, the major players didn’t come from there.

Wanted to note a correction to your post. Freeman was NOT a trade. He was acquired thru free agency after Freddie chose not to resign with Atlanta. Braves offered a 5 year deal and Freeman wanted 6 years. Braves said No and Dodgers gave him the 6th year .

Of course. I got to typing and just kept going. Freeman was a FA. Thanks for helping out.
