I agree with you in the DH question, and not only because of the good timing of using it for JT.
I also preach patience with Lux, but I find it disturbing that they want him to play 3rd. What does that mean? They've already asked Seager to move next year and he refused? ARod and Ripken Jr move but he won't?
As a free agent, Seager can do whatever he likes, and I think that means leaving for greener pastures. The Dodgers have their shortstop for 2022 in Trea Turner. They can decide whether to extend him later.
The front office will have its hands full trying to bring back Taylor, Scherzer and Kershaw, and whatever new free agents they target. They can use the 300+’mil they’re not paying Seager all over the place.
Lux is a project going forward. But he has no chance to transform into Kike’. I guess they don’t care because they’ve lost their chance to trade high in on him. Whatareyagonnado.
"...the last time that happened featured the Blue Jays against the Yankees and Orioles in 13 straight between Sept. 8-21, 1980 and went 4-9.” One thing that's always amazed me (unmathematically-minded as i am), is how somebody would even begin to figure out (i'm wild-guessing via computer, but still...) the answer to such an obscure weird statistical question. Raised at a time when statistics were 714, 56, 60, .406, etc.

As was I. Of course, I also remember 714 as the number on Joe Friday’s badge, and on a certain, shall we say, supplement.
