Sonny Gray could be had for relatively cheap, I think

Relative to Ohtani, maybe

My nephew is obsessed with baseball and recently read about Greg Maddux and wants his jersey. But no one makes one anymore. Does anyone know a website that prints old player jerseys or do I have to go through suspicious Chinese vendors?

I’ve never done it myself but you can make your own jerseys from the mlb website. I don’t think they’d care if you made a maddux number 31 braves jersey or whatever.

E: I guess the uniforms are different now, didn’t think of that

E2: I also found this if it helps

There are also Cooperstown Collection jerseys of legendary players but I don’t know if he has one of those or not

I'm not sure if it's more or less reputable than a sketchy Chinese website, but eBay has a ton of Maddox jerseys available.

Well a lot of the stuff Fanatics sells these days is just that bad Chinese quality knockoff stuff so better to pay a shady eBay seller than them

Heyman reporting Sonny grey is signing with the cardinals today. Not mad about it but definitely trying to hold out hope they’re looking to trade for somebody. We need to unload some of these dorks

You joke, but I'll take Maeda over rolling out Joey Wentz or Alex Faedo any day of the week.


There were rumors a week or so ago that Detroit was looking at Maeda to hopefully attract other Japanese talent, so I will be expecting Yamamoto any day now Mr. Harris :colbert:

Maeda in Comerica is a good combo, it's a pretty savvy signing for Detroit, I'd say.

This article is based off a Bob Nightengale tweet, so congratulations to the Dodgers on their Dylan Cease acquisition

Gonna be fun when we get to March and have to listen to Mark Bowman go on about how Reynaldo Lopez and, I dunno, Sean Manaea were the ideal rotation solutions for the Braves

Gray's coming off a CYA-2 finish and his most IP since 2015. As long as he stays healthy he's going to be annoyingly good as the Cards' ace.

One year $9M apparently:https://twitter.com/kileymcd/status/1729186447134163331

Decent amount of scratch for a strict platoon guy but he put up over an .800 OPS vs RHP this season along with plus defense in RF which lets the Dodgers be flexible in moving Mookie around.

I think it's more the other way around: Mookie's flexibility lets them carry a platoon-bat RF like Heyward, which in turn means all they need at 2B is a glove-guy who can face LHP.

It's Molina and I would have argued he doesn't belong in the HoF but seeing how the Cardinals pitching staff completely fell apart the year he retired and the entire organization seemed to actually be reliant on him I'm starting to think he actually was worth more than Mike Trout to the Cardinals.
