I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, and I'm sure you're all familiar with the Baseball Doesn't Exist YouTube channel, but here's a great Ohtani video and why giving him all the money is a great idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6lXHNLePjo

Dog Faced JoJo posted:Man, I don't follow baseball like I used to, but I have no idea who Corbin Carroll is. Arizona might as well have said Bobson Dugnut. Insanely good rookie who has four tools (let's not talk about his arm in center) and was impossible to keep off the bases in the NLWC and NLDS rounds from this year. Watch some condensed games from the playoffs when you have some time.

Now there's Twitter rumors about the Dodgers trading for Glasnow and either Randy or Margot, which doesn't... really make sense unless the Rays are getting something really big in return or trying to free up salary (Glasnow+Margot is $25 million, Randy's in arb and making $4 million this year) for an FA signing? We know Glasnow's not finishing the season in St. Pete, Margot probably not, and I don't know why they'd trade Randy.

There have been rumblings about Randy to the Dodgers previously, they’re certainly interested in him. But he’s got several years of control left so I can’t imagine the Rays are too motivated to move him.

Yeah, it doesn’t fit their pattern of roster flipping unless they’re blowing it up and starting over, which they’re obviously not doing coming off a 99-win season.

https://twitter.com/extrabaggs/status/1734805152220184935 The interesting note is that Posey delicately suggests that the chud narrative of San Francisco, the one of an open air zoo of human feces piling up on sidewalks and muggers on every corner, is spooking free agents. Particularly international signings from cultures where grime is usually hidden from view. Ohtani himself expressed no reservations, but his entourage did. Seiya Suzuki signing with the Cubs is specifically cited as a time where the Bay Area was perceived as being less safe (than Chicago???)

Dang that sucks if true. It really does seem like the SF narrative in particular has penetrated general cultural consciousness more than other "unsafe liberal city" ones for whatever reason. In terms of SF and Chicago, the narrative here is pretty much exclusively centered around gun violence and doesn't really include elements of the SF narrative like the mobs of violent homeless people, open drug use in front of pre-schools, and streets covered in literal human poo poo (disclaimer I'm obviously engaging in MASSIVE hyperbole here, but this is absolutely the kind of stuff you hear talking to most people who live outside California). Also in both LA and Chicago's cases you're talking about hugely sprawled out areas that have much more strictly segregated rich and poor areas. Obviously SF has rich enclaves as well but it's way more dense within a smaller area and much harder to just totally avoid the "undesirables", as it were. Unless you're including the rest of the Bay Area of course, but I'm not sure how many players are hyped about living in some affluent techbro Palo Alto suburb.

I don't know if this is my upbringing in the mean streets of Sonoma wineries, but I'm way more comfortable with people shooting drugs than shooting bullets. However, Japan has a 1950s Reefer Madness view of drugs, where possession of marijuana can end a celebrity's career. I don't think the city that brought you Snoop Dogg smokes less weed than SF, but it is still that city of pot smoking stoners and LSD hippies to a lot of people.

We know Glasnow's not finishing the season in St. Pete, Margot probably not, and I don't know why they'd trade Randy. it's a salary dump, glasnow's making 25 million, margot's making another 10 as a 4th OF and the rays just aren't paying those prices. They will probably get a fringe dodgers top 10ish prospect that they will somehow bullshit into a solid MLB career, but it's all about the money

Eeeeeh, the reports are saying they want to move them and their contracts but are not looking to straight salary dump for A-ball guys. They’ll get a quadruple-A outfielder and he’ll somehow hit .350 when he gets called up in June.

Agreed, as a Marin person I'm already inoculated to the homeless since San Rafael became a repository due to no institutions being properly funded to help them. While Reagan did cut mental health programs, he sure was personable and made The Market Go Up, so in Marin terms that's a real Sophie's choice (it's not a choice)

In principle I’m ok moving Pepiot but this seems like a high risk move. Glasnow could be huge for a year but the injury concerns are very real with him.
