All this talk of Pudge and Vina…. what about my man Rondell White?

I’d rather they pay Fetter than Bregman

We’d have to give up the same pick if it were Pete Alonso as well, right?

I’d be a bit surprised if someone doesn’t pick him up.

No. I’d prefer they pass the savings onto the fans and the stadium event employees if they’re making so much money. Or invest it back into the cities that support the teams. but that’ll never happen.

Call me insane, but with all of the struggles going on in the country, it’s getting really hard to read about the amounts of money high level baseball players are getting now. I’m all for them getting theirs….but good grief.

I like the Cobb signing. Now go get Buehler or Flaherty.

And the stadium workers

I’m swinging towards us needing to trade Skubal next summer unless we are in control of the division. There’s no way we are going to extend him or re-sign him for what he will get on the open market…..nor should we. Too much long term financial burden for a short term success.

Soto to the Mets. 15 years 765 million.

I’d do that in a heartbeat.

Hopefully from someone else.

The Jose Guillen throw from deep right field to third base still amazes me. I can’t find the clip but there was an Iglesias play where the batter hit a tapper between the mound and third base and Iggy ran in, dove at it and bare handed it and threw it across his body as he was in the air aimed towards home plate to get the runner at first. That was always my favorite infield defensive play.

Over under on Ohtani ABs for a season: 850

If this Golden At Bat thing actually happens, we need to get torches and pitchforks and forcibly remove Manfred from his position and this country.

So the Guardindians are already down Boyd and Eli Morgan. The strength of their team is starting to dwindle.

IMO, they should have to pay interest on the contract like you would for a credit card purchase. Also they should still be on the hook for all deferred money in the event that they trade him to another team.

Too good not to share

Point is- it’s not hard to find a bat that can significantly outperform Carpenter vs LHPs. Even with JHMs struggle period he ended up clearing Carps OPS vs LHP by like .500 points

JHM OPSd .900+ vs LHP, so….. no

I’m not a big McKinstry fan, but he does fit in excellently with what Hinch tries to do with platooning, pinch hitting, and defensive subs. So I’m good with it.

Quatraro should’ve won IMO. I thought the Royals were gonna be a distant 4th in the central

Why sign an expensive infielder when Cale Iorg is right there?

Started?

Just out of curiosity, what types of numbers would Torkelson need to put up to be satisfactory to justify not spending a load of cash on an upgrade at 1B? I personally want the extreme majority of any money spent on pitching help and depth, as well as legit attempts to lock up current players.
