Law kept JHM off the list because he hates the Tigers

Nick Maton DFA. Devin Sweet, meet Toledo. And something or other about Bobby Witt, Jr. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/

Let's don't forget this:

I wonder about that Keith to 1B scenario. He just seems too big to be a secondbaseman. What can we get for Tork? I heard Joey Bart is available 😉

⚾️ Immaculate Grid 299 9/9: Rarity: 25 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 Play at: https://immaculategrid.com @immaculategrid x @baseball_ref That's probably the best rarity score I'll ever get!

Ichiro only. I saw that and thought, what a weak class

this is what i thought. i have to deal with this with clients all the time. but it cuts both ways. mize has to pay to prepare, too. i don't know how agency contracts work, so i wonder if whatever he pays his agents, standard, includes the agency handling an arb hearing. likewise, i don't know if the tigers would handle this in-house or if there is what amounts to 'outside counsel' that would come in, with additional cost

is that Rhine Reighbourne?

No, no, couldn't possibly be that

Add me to this list. I always liked baseball but when at about age 14 I really started to appreciate all the numbers, it took things to a whole new level. For the others like that, if you haven't already, I'd recommend Alan Schwarz's book The Numbers Game, which provides a sort of history of baseball statistics. It came out in like 2005 so it might be a little dated now, but it was a really good read.

Motion carries

MLBTR is reporting Ohtani to the Jays

it's a bummer. the winter meetings used to be one of my favorite events of the year, but nothing happens at them anymore

yes i recall hearing that, too. my recollection is that he destroyed the monitors to prevent the sign stealing, at least in that instance

Eckersley got one, also

This was the name that came to mind for me, too

⚾️ Immaculate Grid 197 9/9: Rarity: 73 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 Play at: https://immaculategrid.com @immaculategrid x @baseball_ref Woohoo! My best rarity score. Having the Tigers on there helps

rarity of 2 is really impressive! i've yet to crack double digits

it's right in his name. how the **** did that college man Harris not see it.

I agree, tho I like Maybin, too. His voice isn't the greatest for radio

really?!?

p'shaw! buying gravel for the new lot . . .

"some scouts believe that Samuel is a good athlete," others, meh, not so much

Is anyone concerned that the league has now figured out how to minimize Carpenter? He hasn't homered in over a month. His OPS in that time frame is below .700. His OBP is still pretty good, in the .330s, but his slugging isn't much more than that. Maybe it's just a slump, but the duration is starting to worry me.

I recall that Chris Brown was the guy who couldn't play a game because he slept wrong on his eye. He came in a trade with Keith Moreland, for Walt Terrell
