Dodgers lost Corey Seager and Max Scherzer ‘for being tight fisted’

Los Angeles Dodgers They started the 2021 season being perhaps the most spectacular squad of all MLB, which due to injuries and various absences was reinforced in the final date of changes. Ultimately, it was a risky bet due to the large number of free agents that would be available at the end of the season, which included Corey Seager and Max Scherzer, who signed with the Texas Rangers and the New York Mets.

The truth is that after several years of being the highest payroll in all of MLB, it was unsustainable for the team to re-sign all the free agent players who left the team, but the effort to keep at least Seager and / or Scherzer could be Greater, since according to information from Jon Heyman of MLB Network, the Dodgers would almost have made offers for “formality” by not getting very close to what they finally ended up accepting.

Heyman mentioned that the Dodgers offered Seager a contract of 250 million dollars and 8 seasons, 75 million less and two seasons shorter than the one he ended up signing in the Texas Rangers, while Scherzer’s side refused to offer him more than 3 guaranteed years and with the Mets giving Mad Max more salary per season than the Dodgers.

For now, it seems that the Dodgers are the favorites to sign Carlos Correa once the work stoppage is over.

I started as a rookie on Al Bat in early 2018 and I’m going into my third season covering Major League Baseball as a web reporter. I am a fan of the San Francisco Giants, a number one defender of Barry Bonds and a critic of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Fernando Tatis Jr., Juan Soto and Ronald Acuña are the future of baseball, Mike Trout is overrated, and the Astros deserved to be taken away from the World Series for cheating. Besides baseball, I also enjoy soccer, football, basketball, and just about any other game that includes a ball or a ball. I am also an amateur musician, penniless gamer and very nerdy. Graduated in journalism from the University of Guadalajara, I graduated in 2017. Born in the shrimp capital of the world, Escuinapa, Sinaloa. I lived in Australia for a while; i survived giant spiders, tasmanian devils and fought a kangaroo and didn’t die trying.
