Eric the Mauve posted:April 18: Ohtani shocks the world by signing with the Pirates, the only team that never leaked that they'd met with him, because they hadn't. Deal was hurriedly agreed over a zoom call and is for 1 year/$5M Should have signed with Oakland, they'd throw in a slightly used Vegas Golden Knights hat and a voucher for Penn & Teller tickets.

This Mariners stuff is so depressing. Like, why should I care about this team winning if they don't even care? It makes me not want to follow baseball news at all.

M's CEO Howard Lincoln one drat year after they won 116 drat games posted:“The goal of the Mariners is not to win a World Series. It is to field a competitive team year after year, to put itself in a position to win a World Series and hope at some point that happens.” They didn't make the playoffs for 20 years. Whoops. I had a glimmer of hope when Nintendo sold the team, but meet the new boss, same as the old boss. I can't switch teams, so I just hope that they stumble and or bumble into a title before I die and try to get as much peripheral enjoyment out of the sport as possible along the way.

Awwwkwaaaaarrrrd yeah I may just move back to a more casual fandom, as I did in all those dark years. I don't have much hope we'll get a high like 2022 again anytime soon. they finally grew a contention window and they sold it for spare parts.

bawfuls posted:It is very funny how whiney all the baseball writers are about this. By all accounts he's probably going to decide like this week. In the end it won't have dragged out particularly long. But right now they're all sitting in the same weird hotel resort with nothing to say and they are absolutely melting down about it. bawfuls posted:If Ohtani genuinely considers the very bland comments Dave Roberts made (yes we met a few days ago, I thought it went well, he's amazing, he's his own man it's up to him) to be a disqualifying leak, then lol ok I guess. I'd hardly consider that a leak or novel information on negotiations. Is he really that much of a diva/narcissist? I didn't think so, but maybe we'll find out.

If he's just here to shore up the back of the bullpen so DL Hall or Wells can close, then I'm much more okay with it.

are you confused? I don’t think his preference is “bad for the sport.” I also don’t think what Dave said yesterday is likely an issue for Ohtani’s stated preferences about this process. It’s being interpreted as such by the rabid group of writers who are mad about the whole thing.

Awwwkwaaaaarrrrd If you want me to bring you back, they sold a declining 3B and a 4th OF with some potential. Unless you were banking on Teoscar coming back and suddenly being 25-30% better they haven't really kneecapped anything yet. We'll see how the rest of winter plays out but the 2024 Mariners' success was not doomed by moving on from those 3 guys.

I don't think the cavalry is coming here.

Penisaurus Sex posted:If you want me to bring you back, they sold a declining 3B and a 4th OF with some potential. I honestly agree fully on Eugenio and Kelenic. But I have a hard time convincing myself that they'll do much of anything with whatever money they saved. It's pretty hard to get optimistic about the M's most of the time and the recentish "aiming for .540" poo poo is just disheartening. Go for it, you assholes. I kinda wonder if they had won a title in 2001 if I would have cashed out on paying attention to baseball in the 20 years that followed.

I haven't been paying much attention to offseason rumors, or Ohtani stuff, but this article, much like the NY Post tweet from the last page, is just embarrassing. More about a baseball writer being annoyed with Ohtani not making some sort of grand spectacle about his free agency. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39049998/shohei-ohtani-secret-free-agency-mlb-dodgers-blue-jays

live with fruit posted:https://twitter.com/Buster_ESPN/status/1732194561848721747 I can understand him being privately, for self-interested reasons, being disappointed that Ohtani has decided to play his free agency like this. I get that he looks over at the modern NBA and wishes his beat could be that interesting, but I can't believe he thought he could sit down and write a "here's why you should care" column about it and think it would be well-received by anyone.
