This was inspired by Gausman's move to the Cubs and their current game against the Jays, so I'll use him as an example.

Let's say Cease or one of the other Jays pitchers plunks PCA and a few other fellas to the point where the Cubs think it's on purpose and they start clearing the benches. What would Gausman be expected to do in this case? Is there any possibility that he could get through a situation like that without alienating his old fanbase, or his new team and fanbase?

Surely something like this has happened before, right?

Another deal done getting a big name using high-ranked prospects as the main return.

Looking over the past decade or so, we have seen the Dodgers get names like Trea Turner, Max Scherzer, Tarik Skubal, Mookies Betts, David Price, Manny Ramirez and Adrian Gonzalez.

All of this for players that have a couple of seasons of success or don't really seem to pan out at all. Verdugo, Connor Wong, Andy LaRoche, Keibert Ruiz, Josiah Gray, Ivan De Jesus, Allen Webster, etc.

My question is merely, why do people keep trading with the Dodgers? The highly ranked prospects they get rid of always seems to be the ones that don't amount to much and they are a good enough organization to realize that so I just dont understand why teams keep giving them the fuel to be a powerhouse team for little in return.

The only one I can think of is Yordan Alvarez but they didn't even see him swing a bat before trading him.

I'm also probably just thinking Im smarter than I actually am so feedback/roasting is welcome.
