If Martin keeps pitching like this, he'll be in very high demand by multiple teams. I like him a lot, but trading him for a haul is definitely part of the plan.
The Dodgers should be getting their actual closer back in the next couple weeks in Daniel Hudson.
True, but they need more than one arm out there, based on the results thus far. And the Dodgers won't be alone in the market for relievers
And maybe he'll do the trick. But he's 36 years old and has 32 career saves. He's not exactly prime Mariano coming back. Or even prime Kenley.
The Dodgers also have countless prospects, they cannot protect them all, and GMs love trading for relievers who have previous success already for that team (both Jansen and Martin for LAD). NY got Clayton Beeter from them for a Gallo rental at the deadline last year, he is now leading the AA Eastern League in ERA at 2.08.

The Dodgers need Jansen/Martin much more now than they did Gallo last year, so if Bloom wants to move them, I agree he can do well and that is a good fit both ways.

The Dodgers 18-0 loss in ‘65 was in Cincinnati.
This was the biggest shutout loss in the history of Dodger Stadium.

Apparently this was the biggest home shutout loss for the dodgers since 1898 when the Brooklyn Bridegrooms were blanked 15-0 by the Pittsburgh Pirates!

I would take their second baseman, if the dodgers would retain 1/2 his salary. And send his bowling balls with him
Mets lose 2 of 3 at home to the Cardinals. 33-38, 12.5 games behind the Braves. Don’t answer your phone, Buck.
Five teams that are in the bottom ten in payroll hold a playoff spot.
Milwaukee, Arizona, Miami, Tampa Bay, Baltimore.

The Padres blew a 4-0 lead in SF. The Giants scored 2 in the bottom of the 9th to tie it up 4-4 and send it to extras. Doval came in and held San Diego in the top of the 10th, then in the bottom half after an IBB and a sac bunt the situation was: tie game, men on 2nd & 3rd, 1 down, first base open, Mike Yaz who homered earlier in the game up, and on deck rookie Luis Matos who came up a week ago and was 0-4 on the day...so obviously they decided to pitch to Yaz, who proceeded to hit a three run bomb into McCovey Cove. Giants win 7-4.
Questionable decision making by the Padres, but a great finish for the home crowd.

In other streak news, the Reds won their 10th straight, to remain half a game up on Milwaukee.
Yep and while the NL is all going streaking, in the East it's the Braves who are on W7. Some fun stories in the NL right now.
Miami hanging tough out there is awesome, even with a tough 2-0 loss to the Blue Jays tonight.
The Diamondbacks are still my binky this year, though. What an awesomely fun team.
Looking at the standings today and the Orioles are suddenly only 2 games behind the Rays in the loss column. That could narrow to one this afternoon.
Rays have been scuffling, but beat BAL this afternoon to get a split with them. A bunch of very close losses with some fluky plays and bad timing, though, so even their scuffling has been solid lately.
The Mets are 1-7-1 in their last 9 series.
They can forget about the division, and are now 6.5 back in the Wild Card race.

I'm still not 100% over 1975, but's a great baseball town so good for them.
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. Mariners rolling over to MFYs yet again. This time with their ace against some nobody.
This was another overturned call just now on blocking the plate. I think this one is correct, though.

Yaz actually has the most walk-off splash hits in Giants' history with 2. There have only been 4 total. The other two are from Crawford and Bonds.
Yeah, I was watching that on NBC Sports Bay Area - definitely looked like a good call. Too bad Yaz got hurt running to 3rd a few batters later.
Angels Stadium has an advertisement behind home-plate thst says ‘Jesus believed in his teammates, too.’
