They didn't actually have a problem with the deadspin staff writing about politics. "Stick to sports" was about not wanting deadspin writers to publicly complain about their lousy business practices.

The Braves have sent cash considerations (.jpg) to the Pirates for Edgar Santana, who has not pitched in the majors since 2018 following Tommy John and an 80-game PED suspension, 20 of which he is still serving.

Can't wait to add Cash Considerations to our booming minor league system. He'll do great alongside our other big prospect, Financial Flexibility.

Lots of naive Pirates fans out there cheering for a tank and rebuild when what we're getting here is 1994-2012.

After listening to years of Coomer, I looked up his BBR page and am heartbroken to report that for a power hitting third baseman he kind of stunk? Does anyone know why he was an all star in 1999 hitting .263/.307/.424 with 16 home runs?

It's impressive how the Yankees best players are quite injury prone, and yet...I don't see how you don't pay Judge.

Judge is completely unreliable. It would be insane to pay him. (They probably will pay him)

In his most unreliable season outside of a pandemic he put up 5.5 bWAR. In his other entirely unreliable season he put up 5.9 bWAR. To go along with an .853 OPS in 150+ PA's in the postseason.

The man should get heavily paid for 5 years with an option for a 6th or something barring an entirely lost season this year or next.

That just shows how good he is but he has missed at least a third of each of the last 3 seasons, NTM him playing through injury the last 2 months of 2017 or he would've hit like 65 homers that year. He's one of the top 5 players in the sport when he plays but he's literally hurt all the time.

I think the biggest thing going against Judge is that the Yankees have that other guy who is very similar to Judge and they're already going to be paying through the teeth for him. The Stanton deal has gotta be a huge red flag for giving Judge a big contract

“Paying though the teeth” lmao come on

It is true that I guess they Yankees have a budget so as you say paying 80 million a year for 2 dhs is probably not wise

I mean it's all relative otherwise we wouldn't have any discussion whatsoever on contracts since all owners are actual billionaires.

I agree the Yankees should let Judge walk because doing so would actively make them worse, and gently caress the Yankees.
