I remember thinking to myself, "Yeah, they're winning the world series" after they swept the Yankees in 4. You could just tell this team had "it", whatever "it" is.
Cease would be nice. Durable, strikes out batters. Age 30 season next year. Could come out of the bullpen in a game 7 and throw some filthy innings.
Ranger Saurez is nice as a lefty that doesn't allow home runs. Probably cheaper than Cease as well.
I think the only thing that could absolve this pain is rematching the Dodgers in the world series next year and defeating them in an equally painful way. Maybe with Ohtani Yamamoto and Sasaki giving up handfuls of runs every game and leaving MLB in disgrace.
