Remember when everyone was mad at Ohtani for “holding up” the off-season? Seems quaint now that all the other big free agents are still out there.

Snell's waiting for Yamamoto and no one wants to pay anywhere near what Bellinger is asking. Bellinger I won't be surprised if he ends up on a deal that's long term/lowish AAV but an opt-out after 2 years or maybe even just 1, and very possibly back with the Cubs.

That list is only free agent signings, and the Braves’ only move there was signing Reynaldo Lopez to a 3/30 deal

If it included all money taken on, several teams would have much higher figures

I think it's just terrible what the Dodgers are doing and we should discourage it by making them do the same thing, but for the Tigers

I am in desperate need of the Braves announcing they've also signed Giolito, it's incredibly important he and Lopez never separate.

The insane taunt base running, batflip, and HR celebration animations they've added to The Show are incredible, particularly when you refuse to skip the replay and it absolutely tilts your opponent.

also lmao that it's off Kikuchi.

For as boring as the offseason has been, one hundred players are going to sign the week before Spring Training. So that should be fun.

i would love to see some team do what the florida panthers did about 10 years ago and try to sign every middling free agent to put together a murderer's row because poo poo wasn't working.

(it didnt work out, but it was funny to see 9 new guys putting on jerseys at the same time)

hey, someone's gotta soak up those innings, get him on a short term contract and put him in front of the Atlanta lineup and he could win 15 before moving on to fall apart somewhere else
