Dodgers not doing anything to help the offense is wild to me. I know some of yall will be like “stfu Dodgers are loaded” (pause) but that offense ain’t it. Pitching is great but you still gotta score runs and continuing to rely on Betts and Freeman in between Smith, Tani and Hernandez ain’t it

Can anyone else reach 3,000 hits?

Active leader is Freddie Freeman at 2,431. He’s 36 years old and needs 569.

Manny Machado is 33 and sits at 2,069. He’s 931 away.

I’m not sure anyone else has a realistic chance at it.

Maybe Lindor if he plays long enough. He’s at 1,664 and 32 years old.

Mookie Betts and Bryce Harper are up there but I don’t think their games translate well to a lot of base hits and long careers. Hell, Mookie might be starting his decline already.

Don't think so. I don't see them playing long enough to get to 3000 hits, or wanting to hang around getting limited ABs late in their careers to do it... I don't think you'll see dudes getting near 300 wins either.

Soto should be able to. He's got another 14 years on his contract

I don’t think we will ever see again in our lifetime unless rule changes affect things more

The guy who could possibly would be Witt if he can’t play 16 years or so

Freddie I’m just not sure I sense he may start breaking down but he’s the last one

than like I say above maybe never again


But one thing is for sure we will NEVER EVER see a 300 game winning pitcher again

Assuming the guys you mentioned all play until they're 40. I feel Freddie and Manny will cross 3K pretty easily .Manny needs to avg at least 130 to close his career seems doable if he stays moderately healthy. Freddie needs around 140 a year to close out. Seems safe.

Lindor being a year younger than Manny but also nearly 450 hits behind is rough. Needs to avg around 170 year to close out.

Bogaerts might find his way to it. Needs to stay around 150 year until 40.
