zoux posted:The fact that Drellich had a toxic relationship with the Astros - through no fault of his own - is important context when reading his reporting about that team. zoux posted:Alleging that Red Sox players tried to pay for the unpaid suspension of the guy who helped them cheat is insanely provocative, and it's anonymously sourced. Hopefully it's better sourced in the book, because that is a massive allegation to make without someone willing to put a name behind it. ETA: Maybe there's a part of the CBA that I'm unaware of that forbids players from giving gifts or consideration to suspended front office employees. It'd strike me as odd, given the players are repped by the MLBPA while the replay coordinator and rest of the coaching and front office staff are representatives of ownership. If there is a clause like that, then yes that's an extremely provocative allegation. Paracaidas fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Feb 3, 2023 |

I'd find "Red Sox players leave suspended replay coordinator hanging" a much more provocative allegation -- or "Red Sox organization pays suspended replay coordinator under the table" lol

Paracaidas posted:This is an odd way to phrase "The fact that Drellich was fired at the behest of the Astros is important context when reading his reporting about that team." Especially given that skepticism you're extending that skepticism to his reporting about the Red Sox (and apparently the Dodgers and Yankees too?)

Lol you’ve spent a page trying to downplay the claims about the Astros because Drellich is “compromised” in your opinion, but then made sure to bold the line about unspecified Yankees and Dodgers schemes.

Yeah my point is there's a lot about to come out about a lot of teams that's going to be anonymously sourced. I'm not going to believe any of it absent corroboration.

OAA was also hugely down on his defense to the point most teams are probably looking at him primarily as a DH candidate. Not all that surprised everybody is holding out to see if his price tag gets closer to the league minimum.

so it’s pretty well established that the 20s Klan was organized basically like an MLM, would’ve been more surprising honestly if they hadn’t cashed in on sports merch. it was something you could be in just very openly and even if you weren’t in the Klan you wouldn’t think twice about them doing this poo poo. Bad times.

It's also worth nothing that Gurriel is absolutely in the tier of guys in the player valuation formula system that all the teams use and results in guys hearing absolute radio silence for months before suddenly getting hit up by five different teams on the same day for the exact same dollar value.

I don't remember who said it, but the spring training he bulked up someone called him Millville Meatier. Which for some reason lodged in brain. Also, I was hilariously wrong on Trout. I remember telling you all you were overreacting saying he was going to be better than DiMaggio. And fuckin' whelp.
