That would not shock me. In fact, I recall that the Astros did that with Maldonado in years past, where they didn't sign him as a free agent,...
Hensley also has options, and the team doesn't have enough guys with options who can be sent down in the event of an emergency where you need...
Murphy is pretty good. But if you offered Murphy or Brown to every other MLB team, I'm betting 29 of those teams would take Brown first, Murphy...
Agreed. Payroll is a zero sum game, particularly for someone like Crane, who we know doesn't want to exceed the luxury tax. So paying Verlander...
Two years with a club option on the third. First two years are $17M/year. If the Yanks decline the third year option, then they pay $6M. So...
And how much? Rizzo would be nice IMO, but not at the price that I think he's asking. Sure seems like he's looking for a 3 year deal at $48M. A...
I think it would be more useful to use some of that money that would go to Verlander to buy out a couple years of Framber and Javier's free agency...
I'd love a multi-year Benintendi signing. But I think he will be one of the guys who gets competing high offers, and I don't think Crane will...
He sued Crane. I don't see Crane re-hiring him for that reason alone. Although I am surprised some team hasn't picked him up. The stain didn't...
Does Smith make the playoff roster? I guess they probably want a lefty. I'm guessing they only go with 12 pitchers: Justin Verlander Framber...
And what did Chandler have to say?
Probably had x-rays last night. If there was a broken bone, I think word would have already leaked, no? It's hard to keep something like that...
He had to trade Odo for someone. Odo would have been terrible in the clubhouse once LMJ returned, which would have had to move Odo to the pen....
I've noticed the tickets are cheaper for tonight's game than most Thursday night games. Might grab a couple and take my son. Wondered if the...
Why the early start time tonight? I assume it's because it's being televised by Fox.
Are we all assuming that Click doesn't sign Yuli for a one year, team friendly deal? He hasn't been elite this year, but he's been more than...
I was about to post the same thing. OPS above .800 is typically all star level. I'd say a "good" OPS is over .700, but under .800.
I'm with ya. I'm sure a handful of those 22 games will be Sunday games, then we'll have one or two weekday games that are early for travel...
I count 22 games in the Pacific Time zone in 2023. 28 games in 2022 in the Pacific Time zone. So I take this as a win.
While I also wonder about Mancini, I think a bigger question is why is Dubon even on the roster? If he's needed as a fourth OF, fine, but his...
