Is there a better way to follow NPR and KBO than reddit, which isn't particularly great at that anyways?

Is spring training free on mlb.tv or does the membership carry over from the previous year until the season starts? Cause I'm able to watch but I haven't done my free tmobile thing yet

Pretty sure it's free until the season starts.

There is almost no way for this to go that badly. Either Cody is really good and opts out after the first year or he's not and it's only a 3/80 contract which is really not much for the Cubs.

Personally I wish it was a longer guaranteed contract cause I want my good friend Cody to stay in Chicago but it's a sensible contract for both sides and I'm just glad he's back.

In fact he said he’d let his friend shoot him in the junk with a paintball gun if he ever signed a multi year deal

Then of course he said the player opt outs made it not count when people trolled him on Twitter about it

Well it did involuntary end up being a one year deal

Bellinger and Chapman signed deals worth 10s of millions of dollars with opt outs almost every year, that's pretty good. For a guy like Bellinger that is a good deal if he plays at the level he did last season he stands to make even more money, it's simultaneously a good deal for the Cubs cause 3/80 isn't gonna limit them that much. He also seemed to really enjoy playing for the Cubs so he even ended up back on a team he wanted to be with.

I'm not sure if that's better or worse. At best it's tone deaf to previous protests surrounding pro athletes kneeling during the anthem.

I don't think the other team cares that you made all your players stand outside the dugout pre-game.

Pro athletes are probably the only people for whom eating McDonalds every day is actually fine cause they are burning so many calories it doesn't really matter. The main issue is probably the amount of salt but hey, electrolytes.

Those Bananas tickets are secondary market? On their website they say tickets start at 35$ the problem being it's a lottery to be able to buy tickets directly from them as there is a huge amount of people signed up.

I just assumed the sticking point for teams signing Snell was he wanted a longer deal. 2/60 is a no brainer for any team competing, which makes me suspicious if that is real.

too expensive. He's gonna finish out this contract (I think he has a buyout after this season) and go somewhere else for league min

I would think the Cubs could eat his salary if they can get something in return. His salary is a loss if he's spending his time on the bench anyways.
