If the 06 cardinals could win the World Series then no playoff team should ever consider themselves to have no shot

Phil Nevin seems like a bad manager because he got Mike Trout injured.

Phil Nevin is an old-school hardass that shouldn't have been kept on after being the interim manager in 2022 and deliberately starting a fight with the Mariners. Dude sucks rear end.

On one hand maybe Atkins and Shapiro gets fired. On the other Kenny Williams is a free agent and he was Eddie Rogers' first choice when they got rid of Beeston soooooo

The timing of Williams and Hahn's sackings probably coincide with Rizzo calling Reinsdorf up and saying "hey man I'm about to sign a big extension with the Nats, unless?"

From what it sounds like Stras is basically crippled for life in his dominant hand so the least the Nats can do is make sure he's comfortable for the rest of his natural life. poo poo sucks, man.

I think it had previously been reported the contract was uninsurable a few months back when it came out that Strasburg was probably not going to ever pitch again

The Nats presumably accepted he'd never play again and chose to just bite the bullet to open up a 40 man spot? Or just end the speculation

I always liked Strasburg. I watched his first career start against the Pirates and he absolutely killed them. I remember he was throwing this 12-6 curveball that nobody could hit.

Bregor posted:They dropped the “of Anaheim” and are now a curse’d franchise They became a cursed franchise when Arte told Torii Hunter that he didn't have the 2/25M it would take to keep him as an Angel for the rest of his career. He would have been the mentor Trout needed to be a bigger voice in the clubhouse instead of Pujols' lead by example style. Everyone knows that speeches win championships. Torii was a fan favorite and was coming off a career year. Instead Arte went and gave 5/125M to Josh Hamilton. Torii would go on to hit 295/327/456 in his 2 years in Detroit.

A player like Strasburg doesn't have to be on the 40-man during the season (he's on the 60-day IL) but in the offseason he does. Which effectively reduces you to a 39 man roster, which is undesirable since most teams use the entire 40-man to avoid losing young players they value in the Rule 5 draft. Who knows though whether that's why the Nats decided to eat $170 million or if it's just because the medical proof that he'll never pitch again is incontrovertible and they'd lose in court.

Shohei tears his elbow and bats in the next game. Rendon fouls a ball off his foot and misses the entire season.

Do clubs have any recourse if a guy is loitering on the IL? Aside from cutting his sorry rear end, of course.

lol Rendon was open about not even liking baseball when he was still with the Nats. Surprised he didn't pull a Jeff King and retire the day he hit 10 years service time

Yeah Rendon had a Jokic-esque “This is just my job and no one likes their job,” so this isn’t too surprising. He always seemed professional enough, though. I didn’t think he’d become this much of a stain about it. Just going to remember the good times… https://twitter.com/Sam4TR/status/1189730387041243137?s=20

Yeah I read today apparently he can barely open doors with his right hand because of all the nerve damage, absolutely brutal stuff. Hopefully he can recover enough to at least live a normal life.

Putting someone on the the 60 day IL does remove them from the 40 man roster, but only during the season. They have to go back on the 40 man when the post season ends. There's no 60 day IL in the offseason.
