So much for idea that luxury-tax concerns would restrain #Dodgers: Hill, Turner and Jansen expected to go for almost $200M combined.

There could be some adjustments, but it appears the Dodgers will pay more in luxury tax in 2017 than the Padres will dole out in salaries.

Regarding Jansen, many in #Marlins organization were torn over parting w/ Draft pick, plus dollars allocated. More sensible deals now likely

3 for 3 on Jansen-Turner-Hill would be an unexpected but highly successful outcome to the winter for #Dodgers regardless of 2B situation

California Love will be playing in the ninth inning for another five years. Welcome back Big Man @DodgersNation

Kenley Jansen turned down more money from Nationals. So much for the narrative that Jansen would go to the highest bidder.

Wow amazing job. Turned signed until age 36, Jansen signed until 34. Both respectable ages to end a contract. GOOD WORK! https://t.co/R42bk99KBT
