Didn’t he slim down considerably last offseason too? I remember shots of him playing Dominican ball looking pretty fit.

those hats are much better than the atrociously ugly cubs hats from 2016 and now i'm livid that we didn't get a little bear wearing the world series trophy as a crown
This came from some guy on instagram who seems to make small batches of hats. This one went up twice and sold out within a day both times, I caught it the second time. Not sure why it's always such a limited run, he could sell a ton of the Lebron one I'm sure

IMO the Red Sox's handling of the scandal is far worse than the Astros and they should be getting roasted a lot more. Instead they're just going to be largely forgotten as the Astros take all the bullets. It sucks.

I'm just glad the Dodgers got their ring after all this. This sounds weird but after reflecting a little on it it kind of rights some of the wrongs of the situation. Hell, they should probably win next year too.

Relaying signs to a runner on 2nd who then relays it to the batter is a lot less funny.

Heyman predicted that Bauer will sign with the Giants for 5/150.

We absolutely need a SP and he's the best one available. But $30 million a year for a 3.9 ERA pitcher who wasn't that great until like his 5th year in the majors makes me itch. Gonna be interesting to see how high the bidding goes. (I don't put any stock in Bauer's one-year contract stuff. He's the best free agent and he's gonna get paid)

He was detained on a 72-hour mental health hold, which they won't do unless there is concrete evidence that he will hurt himself or others. Then they released him early from that hold. Gotta love the American mental healthcare system.

tl;dr - zero punishment for Turner because he apologized and was both encouraged to go onto the field by his teammates and also maybe lied to that other Dodgers had tested positive so he figured gently caress it we've all got plague might as well celebrate.

Kinda feel like the correct PR move here is to fine Turner but put the money towards a COVID relief fund or something, but MLB hates making good PR decisions so this works too.
