Ads in Canada have gone nuts with all the different betting companies trying to get in. Like a third of the ads are betting, but different companies. It's kind of gross, really

https://twitter.com/Feinsand/status/1590497339906883589 Iirc he had a $6.5m buyout on his option ($12m if picked up) so, Atlanta is paying $3.5m for Kolby Allard, do I have that right or am I misunderstanding?

I'd be glad the Astros were able to parlay a brief window of Odo being good for a trade if that trade hadn't been for Will Smith Oh well, just glad Odo is gone

I hadn’t really thought about it but having ads on the umpire uniforms feels like an extra level of money-grab. I’m pretty sure none of the other major sports leagues put ads on referee uniforms.

When it comes to ads I'm annoyed that the highlight of Yordan's homer over the batter's eye will forever have the batter's eye obscured by a superimposed geico ad

Now that the season's all over Marco Gonzales' 2022 has got to be a record for the least amount of fWAR per IP from any modern starter who ended up with a positive fWAR at the end of the season. .000055 over 183 innings gives you his grand total of 0.1 fWAR.

To his credit, Dodger President Branch Rickey traded Walker and kept Robinson. This was not only the right thing to do, but it turned out that Robinson was a better player than Walker (although Walker was pretty darn good). This is an example of how meritocracy can help end discrimination. the article is talking about the youth pipeline, and not the one that you were a part of in little st. james. to have a meritocracy you need equality of opportunity. baseball as she is played is failing in that regard eat my entire rear end in a top hat alan dershowitz

I'm assuming the big thing is where that money counts towards the luxury tax. This year, next year, on the rangers books? I thought maybe since Koby is a lefty first round pick by Atlanta this could be a redemption story but the guy has almost no chance to make the roster.

Intruder posted:https://twitter.com/MLBONFOX/status/1590720353055436802 Nor should he be, he's going to want (and is likely worth) something well north of $40m aav and probably multi-year and the Astros should not give it to him. Someone is going to offer him 3/$130+ and imho it is an insanely bad idea to give a huge contract to a 40 y.o. power pitcher who may either be returning to dominance or had one hell of a fluke season. I hope it's the former and not the latter and I hope he proves me wrong on the Tigers and not the Yankees. Astro's depth at SP is too good, with 2 Cy candidates (provided Javy's fastball really is unfigureoutable) at the top and 4 strong rotation guys, any one of whom could make a leap next year (probably not Uriquidy). I mean they literally have a 25 year old JV clone on the roster. Also, and I concede this is eye-test BS but the man just does not have his stuff in the WS. His G5 win was purely determination and Dusty giving him the leash to get the W, for whatever reason he pitches like dogshit in the world series. This is a nice problem to have of course, but with expectations being appearing in the world series since that's what the Astros do, it's actually a pretty salient factor imo. Now if he wants to take a sweetheart hometown deal because he's best friends with Jim Crane, well I'll just smile and grit my teeth during games 1 and 5 of the 2023 WS but it would have to be a hell of a deal. What they need to sell out on is a short term deal for Jose Abreu

JV wants a longer term deal. We'll see what happens but if he doesn't stay our rotation is still pretty drat good.

I agree that the rotation is still good without him but that doesn't change the fact that it's a blow. Spending the money elsewhere (like on Abreu as zoux said) would make me feel better but it's not like they spent the Correa money last year so who knows? WS jokes aside, a playoff rotation where Garcia takes JV's spot isn't nearly as enticing. Maybe Brown steps up but despite his numbers his wildness concerns me. McCullers is gonna have to recover a little something of what he was but a full offseason program should help him with that instead of struggling to come back toward the end of the season MrMidnight posted:Sign Montero back, get a legit DH (Brantley) and 1st baseman (Abreu). Sorry Yuli, time to hang up your cleats. I would rather get a legit LF and move Yordan back to DH. I don't know who that would be though. I've seen some speculation about Joey Gallo which lol oh god no Maybe they could make the Conforto thing happen this time? Unless they bring Uncle Mike back in which case I promise you I'd be more than happy Intruder fucked around with this message at 16:35 on Nov 10, 2022 |

I don't trust Montero, he reeks of the one-season wonder reliever, and I think he's going to command much more than he's worth. Abreu in the set up spot is way better. JOSE ABREU ಠ_ಠ

Verlander strikes me as one of those signings where if he goes somewhere else he'll be good still and everyone will go Cashman  , but if he comes to NY he'll pitch like Clemens did that first year after he came over from Toronto

JV was apparently a different guy mentality wise this season. I'm sure you guys all remember the rumors from last year about how JV never showed up to anyone's birthday parties and the team wouldn't let him throw out the first pitch in the '21 WS or whatever. I don't know how true that stuff was but from the interviews he's given, tearing his UCL and staring down the end of his career out of nowhere really hosed him up and scared him and this season he's been smelling the roses, so to speak, and any time you see him in the dugout he's cutting it up with the guys, he's always one of the first ones out of the dugout to congratulate people, etc. Apparently he's just been a sterling teammate this year and you put that together with both the personal and team accolades that he earned this year, I don't know how that affects his decision. Houston loving loves JV, they love Kate, they are immeasurably big fish here, so is that worth $10m extra a year to go to NY and get booed if you gently caress up? Probably, that's af uckload of money
