It's interesting- IMO the Dodgers big question going forward will be Jansen. If his decline continues- I don't think there's a replacement currently on the roster......

Oh and I posted who i thought were the 5 least likely
Giants/Marlins/Orioles/Tigers/Royals. Someone added in the Rangers which I can see. I'd probably say Arizona as well and someone else threw out the Mets given their problems...

I think the Dodgers are going to be near the top of the list as long as their ownership/FO stays the same. They just have too many resources to fall too far.

I agree re AZ; I think their window just closed. But the Mets? I dunno. Their problems are also countered by their resources. They don't have an obvious reason to be so snakebit and I'd expect them to have luck go their way at some point.

But the Mets haven't used their resources ever in a full manor.

As far as the Dodgers- yes they have a lot of resources. But at the same time- they will be replacing a lot here... Rotation in 2 years could be w/o all of Ryu, Hill, and Kershaw. A Fading Jansen maybe? Wood a FA after next year. Puig a FA after next year. Turner isn't getting younger. They are going to have a pretty full changeover here coming up.....

I'll be candid: This really reads like wishful thinking. The Dodgers are a large market, heavily resourced team. They're willing to spend on free agents when necessary and able to manage creative trades when the opportunity presents. Teams like this don't crater and rebuild. I'm NOT saying they'll be WS contenders every year but I'd be shocked if they're not at least playoff contenders every year this group is in charge.

Mets? I don't really care but I think you're being hyperbolic with your use of the word "ever." It's hard to completely count out a team that has the ability to acquire some of the talent they've had. I'm not ready to put them on that top 7 list but I certainly wouldn't put them in the bottom 7.
