Laureano is a personal favorite of mine, but difficult decisions are underway in Dodgertown. He’s only getting closer to free agency and I think I have been hit by too many injuries to make a real run this year. Song is a guy I’ve been interested in for years, CES has had a nice start to his pro career, and 1st rounders never hurt. Sox to confirm

Always been pretty high on Laureano and feel he can play at an all-star type level on his current contract. It hurts to lose a 1st rounder but felt it was enough to land Laureano who can help me compete next year. CES started off strong but has cooled off since and anyone’s guess on when Song will pitch again and at what effectiveness.
Good dealing with Cody.
