In a vacuum, Dodgers fans should be excited about 2019. They are coming off back-to-back NL pennants, projections have them cruising to a seventh-consecutive NL West division crown, and they have one of the more talented teams in the baseball.
Of course, the Dodgers are also coming off back-to-back World Series losses, the talent now is probably inferior to the teams that lost in the past years, and it’s now been back-to-back off-seasons of relatively quiet activity (also, Clayton Kershaw might be dead).
So what better way to change the mood around the team by signing Bryce Harper, right?
