Motor City Sonics Posted February 17 Posted February 17 New season. New thread I see that Mike Trout is moving to RF. Cool. That'll clear a path for Anthony Rendon to move to CF when he gets back...........in 2027. Quote

Cracked the playoffs a couple times but were eliminated immediately. I'd like to see Trout get a shot at a ring, unless it's the Dodgers or Mets. The Angels wasted him just like the Lions wasted Barry and Calvin. Quote

The Angels wasted him just like the Lions wasted Barry and Calvin. Ahhh—got it. And you’re correct. In both cases, it was front office ineptitude. I think if Trout ever gets dealt, it would be to his hometown Phillies. His contract and health would make that very difficult, though. Quote
Sports_Freak Posted February 18 Posted February 18 (edited) It sounds like Boston is having a bit of drama at 3rd base. That's just....too bad. 🤣🤣 https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/redsox/2025/02/18/rafael-devers-third-base-alex-bregman/79056057007/ https://x.com/iansewell_/status/1891544728404918293?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1891544728404918293|twgr^80260d4ad57119b1a4e4766d069975e37c7a70b2|twcon^s1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ffansided.com%2F3-teams-who-should-try-and-pry-rafael-devers-from-boston-amid-alex-bregman-drama Edited February 18 by Sports_Freak 1 2 Quote

Idiots HAD an All-Star 3rd baseman on a big contract and went out and signed another 3rd baseman for $40 million per year. Pretty stupid. I hope they finish in 5th place in the East. 2 Quote

The east coast writers pick Detroit any and every time the Yankees or Red Sox are looking to unload a player. Of course we are where Torres ended up.......🤔 Quote
Tiger337 Posted February 18 Posted February 18 I believe Devers is stating at third base and Bregman is going to second base. Quote
chasfh Posted February 18 Posted February 18 If the Red Sox want to win, they'll put the Gold Glove winner at third base, bring the kid up to play second, and move the stone glove to DH. If the Red Sox want to mollify their high-priced players, they'll keep Stoneglove at third, play the new guy out of position at second, and keep both the kid in the minors and their fingers crossed. My Red Sox fan buddy is none too happy about all this. 1 Quote

On Foul Territory AJ Pierzynski said the same. He said you don't want to piss off Devers who has 10 years left on his contract, and Bregman might only be there a year. The other guys disagreed and said you field your best team, period. Cora will have fun managing this Quote
IdahoBert Posted February 18 Posted February 18 I could see Devers wondering “What am I, chopped liver?” But according to the Red Sox MLB beat writer, he and Bregman are the best pals already. They can barely restrain themselves from breaking into song and singing “we are the world…“ 1 Quote

Motor City Sonics Posted February 19 Author Posted February 19 Boy, if you were a Mariners fan, how pissed would you be at this offseason? One game away from making the playoffs last year and they've done NOTHING. The Rangers are going to rebound and don't snooze on the A's. The A's could actually be sneaky good this coming season. They have gone from an ugly situation where the fans were getting their hearts ripped out, and players were getting minor leagued for showing fan support to now being in a situation where a fan base is going to be auditioning for an future MLB franchise and they will be extremely supportive. They made some decent moves this offseason. The Astros also made moves to try to keep their hold on the division. But the Mariners? Well, at least they get to be in the same division as the Angels.

1776 Posted February 19 Posted February 19 (edited) Verlander has embraced the role of being a willing mentor in SF that I knew he would have in Detroit, given the opportunity. He’s been very involved with the younger pitchers through watching their bullpens and sharing his ideas and observations with them. Nothing but positive vibes from Bob Melvin down. Edited February 19 by 1776 Quote
