Would you like to play a game?



Billy Wagner probably gets in since he’s close

Todd Helton may follow him

I'd want to throw so many "don't want you to fail out after one year" pity votes to so many of the first year folks... basically everyone except Shields, VMart, Joey Bats, and Gonzalez.

And of course a real vote for Beltre, as well as Wagner, Manny, and ARod.

I like lance Lynn but the front office and beat writers are absolutely going to make this signing out like he’s some incredible bounce back candidate which is hilarious if you look at his numbers from last season. Dude is toast

Everything points to the fact that Lynn should be absolute dogshit next year so I expect Cardinals devil magic to strike yet again and he'll be a sleeper Cy candidate who goes like 4-0 with a negative ERA vs the Cubs in 2024.

That would whip rear end but devil magic is USUALLY reserved for young guys nobody has ever heard of. See: Donovan, Brendan & Edman, Tommy for two recent examples

Abreu
Betre
Buhrle

Ramirez

Wagner
Utley

I will be interested to see how close Beltre can get to 100% now that the ice has been broken on that

I have to think that Steve Stone getting into a feud with Lance Lynn by calling him too fat for the pitch clock on the Official White Sox Post-game Show was one of the highlights of the 2023 White Sox season.

E: I apologize it was Steve Stone who called him fat, Ozzie said he fielded a bunt like "a 105 year-old man"

Not how the luxury tax works. Tax hit for contracts is based on AAV of guaranteed money, specifically so teams can't to weird contract poo poo to game the system.

It's more likely that this is an internal budget thing. Move the 4 million from this year to 2026 when Morton and others are off the books.

Nobody's mentioned Utley yet but he's getting in, maybe not first ballot but he's got the WAR and JAWS numbers plus a ring.

Creepy little garbage eaters

I've always felt that one of the Kinsler/Pedroia/Utley triumvirate of second basemen was going to make the hall, and I don't think Pedroia had quite enough career to get in.
