The Dodgers' dream offseason (their second in a row, really) continues with the addition of Tanner Scott to the bullpen truebluela.com/2025/1/19/2431…

@SushiiiBell @sweetannieod Maybe it better not waking up to it being shut down and ruining the whole day

@sweetannieod Honestly for me, it’s both. With a side of delulu because the audacity to not even wait until midnight 🤧

Don’t ask me how many times I’ve opened the TikTok app tonight

@korectiion @annadomi15 I deleted fb and IG

I done refreshed Instagram 10 times already & ain’t laughed once

@DodgersTailgate Sorry not happening I deleted closed my IG and FB account where else are you? Bluesky?

With TikTok potentially on its way out, now's the perfect time to follow us on Instagram. Get your fix of Dodgers news, rumors, highlights, and everything in between. Catch us at the tailgate on IG: instagram.com/dodgertailgate/

@eliseryann I don’t know as a Rams fan I get a kick out of every one hating on KC

why ban tiktok when you can literally ban the kansas city chiefs

@919designz @SInow @ConorOrr Mahomes is taking advantage of the system as he should and I am a rams fan so not a KC fan.

@SInow @ConorOrr Mahomes is a sissy

As if we needed any more proof, @ConorOrr says Patrick Mahomes gave us another reminder that the NFL must change how it penalizes hitting the quarterback trib.al/moQFWE7

@SoBlessedSami @CNN And congress cannot make money off it. So I have deleted my fb, IG and meta apps

@CNN This is so stupid! The real reason they want to ban this is because they don’t like people actually reaching each other and spreading truth! #FreeSpeech #CrookedPoliticians #AllAboutMoney #AllAboutPower #StupidPolitics

TikTok shuts down in the United States hours before ban was slated to go into effect cnn.it/4ho6FPt

I have deleted my @instagram @facebook @Meta accounts! I have had data breaches from my doctors office, my job, my bank my health insurance, Facebook instagram but sure let’s go after tik tok. Congress has called it a propaganda program. So it’s ok if they make money off it

@techguypaul @DodgersTailgate @jonmorosi But we still need to sign Kershaw unless he retires and part of me wants Kike back for the postseason

@MerchainMichael @DodgersTailgate @jonmorosi We have a spot so we don’t need to get rid of anyone to sign him. Sasaki won’t be added to the 40 man until spring when they can move Stone and Ryan to the 60-day IL. Same for signing Kersh

According to @jonmorosi, Tanner Scott could sign this weekend. Which begs the question, Are the Dodgers closing in on Tanner Scott? dodgerstailgate.com/are-the-dodger…

@nicholas138868 @SnavelyCody6 @TheAthleticMLB I am sure the owner ship issue had a roll

@SnavelyCody6 @TheAthleticMLB Says a lot about San Diego lol

According to @TheAthleticMLB, the Padres were willing to max out their international pool and offer Roki Sasaki more than $10 million; he chose the Dodgers' $6.5 million offer instead.

@eaburkard @mike_petriello It wouldn’t be a strike it would be a lockout. I don’t see players having an issue hell I don’t see the owners having an issue just bitter fans

@mike_petriello Super teams LA Dodgers I would not be unhappy if baseball had to go on a strike for our lockdown over this Dodgers situation

The Chiefs are going to the AFC championship game for the 7th year in row Something must be done about super teams, the NFL is dying and losing fans

@DodgersNation No you have Rojas and Edman to play SS. Put Mookie at 2nd

Despite all the moves made this offseason, the Dodgers STILL plan to have Mookie Betts play shortstop next year👀⬇️ Do you like this move? Why or why not? dodgersnation.com/dodgers-still-…

@Mortscab Americas gres but the Japanese player leaves for more money but America is greedy to pay them?!

Typical selfish US mindset Japan enjoys Baseball more than the Americans who now prefer American Football. Japanese baseball fans deserve to have their star players stay in Japan longer But Japan's baseball league just can't compete with the deep pockets and greed of America

@metsfan8626 @3xOscarWinner @agr_dodgers22 @SFGiantsFan_29 @VergaAsada @DALLASBRADEN209 I do understand how deferrals work the Guggenheim organization is i believe they are making money off the interest on the money in escrow

@3xOscarWinner @agr_dodgers22 @SFGiantsFan_29 @MerchainMichael @VergaAsada @DALLASBRADEN209 First you don’t know how deferrals work, the money is required to be escrowed annually by the team so they can’t do what you just said. Second, Ohtani was a one off because no other player gets a fraction of the endorsement money he does and can defer their entire deal.

The Dodgers could sign the best player for the most money offered & folks would be mad. They could also offer less money to the best player available & sign him (like they did) & people will still be mad (like they are). At some point you have to acknowledge spending money on good players leads to a winning culture people want to be a part of when done properly. beacons.ai/baseballisdead…

@SFGiantsFan_29 @metsfan8626 @agr_dodgers22 @3xOscarWinner @VergaAsada @DALLASBRADEN209 Every team has deferred money Bobby Bonilla Ken Griffey Jr are all still getting paid. Ohtani is a once in a generation player who can afford to defer a large amount of his contract.

@metsfan8626 @agr_dodgers22 @3xOscarWinner @MerchainMichael @VergaAsada @DALLASBRADEN209 Exactly, if you deferred money it should count all the same. If the dodgers want to pay someone 680 after the deal is over that’s cool. It should count all the same.

@metsfan8626 @VergaAsada @agr_dodgers22 @DALLASBRADEN209 So true as a dodgers fan I hated when every one wanted to play in NY

@VergaAsada @MerchainMichael @agr_dodgers22 @DALLASBRADEN209 It’s funny I was in a group chat today and everyone was complaining how sick of the Chiefs they were. We went through the same thing with the Yankees and Patriots. It always sucks unless you root for the team dominating.

@FlusDeuce @robertnicastr18 @ElJefeTwoloom @NFLNotify I believe his current team has to give him permission to talk to another team. So no it’s not tampering

@robertnicastr18 @ElJefeTwoloom @NFLNotify I’m pretty sure that’s called tampering

𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐑𝐔𝐌𝐎𝐑: We are hearing the Vegas offer for HC Ben Johnson beats Andy Reid's current deal. It would reportedly be the biggest coaching deal in NFL history.

@randi9320 @Bnicklaus7 We’ve earned it being loyal Dodger fans from Fox and the Mcourts

@Bnicklaus7 It's been a crazy last 14 months as a Dodger fan

Two greatest Instagram posts of all time

@metsfan8626 @VergaAsada @agr_dodgers22 @DALLASBRADEN209 The Mets I believe had the highest payroll last year should MLB step in and tell them to stop?

@MerchainMichael @VergaAsada @agr_dodgers22 @DALLASBRADEN209 Of course they should have when it impacts the integrity of the sport. A super team isn’t good for the game at all. It is what it is at this point, just frustrating.
