Agree with you that WAR comparisons within each group become trickier when you've got Tatis (or Machado) in the infield, even with a positional adjustment--hard for Soto to keep up. Putting the three-year age gap aside, Mays/Aaron/Mantle makes more sense as a group.

a willingness to throw around money hasn't been their trademark for quite some time
This irl made me laugh. Last big extension for the jays was, I think, Vernon Wells.

"A left shoulder subluxation"--hope that's less scary than it sounds.

if surgery will make his shoulder problems go away forever i hope he just gets it, the pads can probably take the wild card without him
has me thinking of manny machado's fucked up knees, hasn't been on the DL once since he had them taken care of in 2013

Dislocating your shoulder on a swing, damn. Reminds me of Sammy Sosa throwing his back out sneezing, which I did not comprehend as a possibility until I was 35.

in high school i played with a guy (his name was todd but everyone including teachers called him moose) who would maybe twice a year dislocate his shoulder throwing the ball. then he would just kneel on the ground in agony until his brother sprinted out to pop it back in, and then he would be fine. in retrospect that doesn't seem like an ideal process
and yeah i fucking dread sneezing now, for sammy-related reasons. most of the sound i make is pain, not sneeze

Thoughtful comment of the day:
“This whole Tatis stuff, man, it almost enrages me,” Papelbon said. “I worked my ass off so long and so hard and did it the right way. For me, to see something like that, it hurts me so bad.
“I’ll tell you right now: If I was pitching, every single time I face that dude I’m drilling him. I don’t care if I’m bringing in a run and losing the game.”

Speaking of whom, Correa provides thoughtful comment of the day, part II:
“Wow,” the slugger told media before Friday’s game. “If there’s one thing I don’t respect it’s a cheater. I’ll leave it at that.”
