    If this year has taught us anything it’s to not fret about finding spots for all our healthy players in the future lol.

    He played it in the WBC… and other than coming in on bunts, a lot of the reads and alignments are very similar.

    So how does eating some of the money work with the luxury tax, etc. Does this just benefit Crane or does it also benefit "Salary cap" for lack of a better term in baseball?

    It helps the bottom line luxury tax numbers, not just salary benefit.

    Reminder, your mom already has 68 GargledIntoDoublePenetration, which puts her 2nd "compare" to your dad.

    They might not have a mother, but MLB sure does have a daddy.
