When they make an evaluation, they make an evaluation.

Betts wins the MVP? GTFO - have fun in LA. Devers makes an all star team? Here’s $300m.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

They've always liked Devers. Moncada, Benintendi, and Devers used to be the three headed prospect monster, and Devers is the only guy that stuck.

Ehhh has Betts really lit it up since he left the Red Sox ?

If he is playing 2B, yes. If he is playing RF, then no.

Argument for WS MVP in year 1. Team won it all.

All star appearance years 2 & 3 despite injuries. Gold gloves twice in three years, silver sluggers twice in three years.

I’d take it.

He should sue Boras.

I get the impression that Boras' ego got the best of him and he tried to trap a guy worth $17B with a B into a public relations mistake by telling Cohen that the Giants were over-reacting when he knew Correa's ankle was a real issue.

Morale of the story: don't fuck around with a guy worth $17B.

Yes, Boras will still make a huge commission from the Twins deal. But he won't cross Steve Cohen again.

Caller Bob likely had no idea that the Cubs haven't cracked the $200 million plateau either.

Don’t mind seeing Arraez leave. Maybe something I’m missing but I don’t know why they’d move on from that guy.

Apparently, they want pitching. Hope it doesn't work out for them.

Gordon Wittenmyer back at the Sun-Times. I enjoy his baseball work when he keeps it to sports and not on his liberal agenda soapbox.

Wrote about the possibility of moving around outfielders to circumvent the shift ban in a good read story.

The rule change requires all four infielders to be on the dirt before the ball is pitched — and two on each side of second base.

But nothing in the new rule says a team can’t plug an outfielder into that short-right-field spot on the grass for a shift against a dead-pull lefty hitter and ask the center fielder to cover as much of the vacated spot as he’s able.

I have been making that point for months now. It won't be too frequent and only for the Joey Gallo and Jason Heyward types, but it will happen. Especially with teams who have converted infielders in left or right field.

The shift rule disproportionately helps lefthanders and that alone makes it a bad rule.

Somehow it will make Yasmani Grandal worse though

I don't know how he can get worse. He claims he was on one leg all year. We'll see how that affects his looking for walks. Pitchers are SO DONE fucking around with him, so it's a big opportunity for him.

Dexter Fowler retires.


5 yrs 82.5 mil


2 yrs 17.5 mil

Machado announces he will be opting out after this season. Great teammate…hope he breaks his leg.
