Shohei is donating 60,000 baseball gloves to be sent to every single elementary school in Japan. "I'll be looking forward to sharing the field one day with someone that grew up using this glove. "

Fortunately the Cubs got revenge by getting a 90 OPS+ infielder and a relief pitcher with no functioning arm. Eloy is still somehow only 27 so it's still entirely possible he puts a good career together, but man the thing where his legs just spontaneously combust 2-3 times a season is depressing as hell. At least they got two really drat good years out of Cease, even if they were ultimately squandered. Also he absolutely should have won the Cy last year, gently caress Verlander. The funniest part about Quintana is that he was a consistent 2-3 starter for his whole career before joining the Cubs, then was miserable for them, then as soon as he was free immediately went back to being a consistent 2-3 starter, albeit with some injuries mixed in. Just totally incompatible with however the Cubs' pitching coaches were trying to work with him, I guess.

A difference of 12 pounds between highest and lowest doesn't feel that significant to me, that's not even half a pound per player on the 26 man roster

I'd put the error bars on MLB player "reported weight" at definitely more than 12 lbs

is this average just based on the roster, or weighted based on PAs/batters faced?
