I was thinking about this, would anybody let Morris go 10 today? If you were blind to the result, is there actually an argument that it was a mistake?

Tom Kelly's logic when Morris was arguing to be left in for the 10th was "ah what the hell, it's only a game."

I'm not joking, those are actually the words that came out of his mouth.

Been meaning to ask: how long has that Go Cubs Go song been around? I went to a bunch of games there during the 90s and don't remember it at all.

The $5 million international cap is just a cap on signing bonuses, right?

Losing Jansen would be sad. "Pedro Baez, Closer" is a very melancholy prospect. Conversely, not paying a reliever $80 million+ while getting a #13 pick (if he goes to the Marlins) would be cool and good. IDK.

Comparing a 13 pick to one of the best players on the team smdh

I looked that up a few weeks ago. It's interesting how much the incident is looked back on as "LOL DISCO," and not at all as a gang consisting overwhelmingly of straight white people rioting in response to a style of music that mainly appealed to gay, black, and Latin-American people getting popular.

The whole "closers are overrated and overpaid" applies to dudes who suck but rack up 30 saves in the AL Central, not guys who are in the top 5 relievers in the game

As a fan of both the Twins and Dodgers, the Twins are dumb as gently caress for being so low on JDL and the Dodgers are dumb as gently caress because they have an entire boardroom of Super Smart GMs and they can't figure out how to use their assets to acquire a good player who can actually play more than 1/3 of the time

Looking at who's going to be gaining ballot eligibility over the next few years, it's time to bump up my retirement contributions. Jfc.

That...feels like a bigger overpay than what was going on with Dozier

Forsythe is actually a free agent after this year.

This smells like Friedman valuing his own dude way too highly from finding him during his tenure in Tampa.

I missed the team option since I was browsing on mobile at work.

But still...they're ending up paying (essentially) the same salary, for a lesser player, while still trading the centerpiece of the other deal, in order to hold on to a lesser regarded prospect who's further from contributing to the ML club? What in the world is the logic?

I guess I haven't paid close enough attention since the NLCS, I didn't realize Alvarez and Bellinger had moved past JDL in the prospect rankings.

I want to say that the Dodgers and Padres were both paying for Kemp to play for the Braves last year, but idk if that's actually right

Honestly it just kinda sucks to see dudes get put out by someone playing in a softball rover position. It not only cuts down on offense but in some ways makes defense less interesting. Whether or not it should actually be considered "good" defense, seeing the 2B make a diving stop and throwing a dude out on his knees from the edge of the dirt is just more fun to watch.

Still, I'm not really in favor of banning the shift.
