The article discusses the potential farewell for Dodgers players Austin Barnes and Chris Taylor, highlighting their declining performance over the years despite being fan favorites. It reflects on the financial success of these players but questions the merit of their continued presence on the team. Additionally, it draws comparisons to '70s-era sci-fi, specifically 'Logan's Run', to illustrate the Dodgers' perceived ageism within the team, suggesting that older players who no longer perform are viewed as expendable by the front office.
It would be nice if the Dodgers could schedule a special day to honor Austin Barnes and Chris Taylor, giving fans and teammates a chance to provide a proper farewell for this pair of beloved, true-blue Dodgers.
I'm sure Taylor and Barnes are nice guys, but they've been making millions of dollars and haven't performed for years. I don't think anyone has to feel sorry for them.
Fans of '70s-era sci-fi movies can see clear parallels between the classic "Logan's Run" and the Dodgers' front office behavior.
Like the movie's plot, the Dodgers have concluded that former impact players now over age 30 are expendable and must be immediately eliminated.
