mookie, would love to go to a Mets game with you and any other NYC ilxors who want to, preferably in June before they are out of it.

Tatis out for three months with a broken wrist. I’m thinking Degrom will stay with NY in the end, unless the injury issues really pile up again.

it will be interesting. pache's star has def fallen after he was so bad in the majors & langliers seems more like a defense/power catcher who might not be a great AVG/OBP guy. to get 2 of a team's top 3 prospects is a lot in a deal and i'm sure the A's scouted the lower ranked guys well tho

The Reds saw Suarez's new hairdo and immediately traded him to Seattle
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Monday, 14 March 2022 20:54 (two years ago) link
my understanding is that pache is defensively incredible, so if he can hit at all he will be Nice
but if he *is* nice, the a's will just trade him when he hits arbitration. fuck them

Reds cutting costs like they are going out of business (which hell they might be).
Reds might as well deal Votto now. Don't really like the Red Sox, but it would be fun to see what the heck Joey would do with that Green Monster for a season. Wade Boggs had a lot of fun going the opposite way and banging shots off that thing and I could see Votto doing something similar. I think Votto could also probably parlay that short porch and wind in Yankee stadium for a few cheapy homers too. F' that though.

Wasn’t Freeman asking for less than that? I guess being the face of a franchise, winning an MVP, and helping the team win the World Series doesn’t count for much when you are 32 instead of 28.

Asked if he was vaccinated, Judge said, “I’m so focused on getting through the first games of spring training so I think we’ll cross that bridge whenever the time comes.

Of course Judge isn’t vaxxed.

In nearly 20 years covering baseball, not sure I’ve seen a better lineup than the one the Dodgers will use this season. In some order, it’s going to be Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Trea Turner, Will Smith, Max Muncy, Cody Bellinger, Justin Turner, Chris Taylor and A.J. Pollock.— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) March 17, 2022

I have only been catching up on all this Hot Stove stuff. Agree with others on here about the Bryant contract, glad for him but he is way overpaid and the years make no sense for Colorado.
Joc Pederson to the Giants is a nothing move when you lose both Posey and Bryant. Farhan is not doing much this year but has money, I do trust him but hope he isn't being too cheap.
The Dodgers are just going to buy everything I guess. They have to be up to around $300MM payroll at this point. This can't be good for baseball and fuck them.

really bizarre thing to say after a labor strike centered primarily around the fact that essentially every team in baseball is slashing salary, which beyond the moral issue of where the money flowing, is obviously bad for the sport from an entertainment & competitiveness perspective
