    Wasn't MadBum someone Houston was interested in a few seasons ago? I wouldn't mind us taking him on.

    Bumgarner as an MLB pitcher is no more, he's done, deceased, bereft of talent....he is an ex MLB pitcher who happened to still be owed money.

    So…I know it’s not happening in 2023…but the A’s are on their way to Vegas. Is there a 2027 thread?

    What does a half full 30K stadium look like on a Tuesday when it's 105 degrees?

    Drew Smyly just lost a perfect game in the 8th because his catcher decided to do this:

    Man, what a bargain. 13 AAV this day and age is crazy cheap, and he only had another 2 years of team control. Hell his ARB numbers wouldn't have been too far shy of 13.

    Reynolds really must have wanted to stay in Pittsburgh.

    Maybe this lowers Tucker's asking price a tad.

    I would be curious who the 6 teams are. A's are probably one of them. Maybe Toronto because of the taxes?

    I read how he isn't flashy and likes it simple and doesn't like the big city(market) because of the glitz and or fuss. So the article mentioned NY, LA, Chicago as those types he probably wants to avoid. I wonder if those are the cities that has 6 teams he's avoiding.

    Actually A's are interesting. Oakland no ways acquire him but if they move to Vegas, if they become profitable maybe they start adding. Vegas is Vegas, maybe he should have asked for 7 teams lol

    Sometimes guys will have the big$ teams on their "no trade list" just so they can get some concessions for waiving it to be traded there.
