Would you like to play a game?



This is apparently the deal between the Yankees and Dodgers

Weird trade!!!

Another first round pick who will have no impact on the Yankee team though.

I like it when American sports gain such worldwide appeal that the best players in our leagues come from other countries. The NBA MVP hasn't been won by an American since 2018 and that's good.

They could certainly use another starter as an upgrade but who knows, they have some holes to fill. Maybe they sign someone like Hoskins? Soler? Bellinger? Hell maybe they try to bring back Teo or Gurriel, I read some takes that they should try to get the White Sox to trade Luis Robert Jr. but I'm not sure what the Jays could offer. At this point I'm feeling like they're going to be a team that barely scrapes into the WC again

It sounds defeatist/lame to say this but “Manoah is the fifth starter/no longer playing” is probably the biggest improvement this team will make

I'm trying very hard. I don't know if I'm strong enough. I think I would rather just retreat into my shell and never watch baseball again.

I watched angels games last season and I wouldn’t wish such a plague on my worst enemy. By the end of the season I was cheering on ohtani starts where he pitched brilliantly and hit a couple of homers only for bullpen/rest of the lineup to gently caress it up around him because it would increase his chances of both a) getting paid in the offseason and b) not be on the loving Angels any more. I don’t care if he never makes or wins a WS, just give him a loving chance to play actual postseason baseball for gently caress’s sake.

I would have rooted for literally any team that signed him. Any of them. The Angels might not be the worst team in baseball but they’re by far the most ineptly run, and I’m just glad he has a legit shot at playing games that matter now.

If the Cubs bring in Bauer then I’m going to have to beg Bawfuls for forgiveness and become a Dodgers fan, because gently caress that, even the Dodgers effectively rid themselves of him.
