Tanaka is going to get screwed in this FA market. Doubt he even gets 10 per.

It's hard to say what the first few signings mean for the market. Morton and Smyly got about twice as much money as MLBTR predicted, and Gausman got a QO which no one expected. Seems like teams are willing to spend on short term deals, but we'll see if they're as willing to give out longer term contracts.

Dusty's team once again blew up in the postseason, and in the same year Mark Prior got a ring. All is right with the world.

I'm thinking no on the guys who aren't top tier because we are in a CBA negotiation year and also the pandemic is making teams more reluctant to spend because we don't know if fans will even be able to attend games in April.

quote:

Major league baseball player Randy Arozarena was arrested for trying to abduct his young daughter, whom he took from her home in the El Porvenir neighborhood.

The international player, who recently got re-married, came to the house under the pretext of bringing gifts for his daughter, the result of a previous marriage.

However, he abducted her and confronted his ex-wife and his ex-father-in-law, whom he beat.

The shouting that ensued attracted the attention of the neighbors, who came to support the girl's mother, and managed to block the player's way at a traffic light.

Unless the report is exactly wrong it's pretty damning to have neighbors block you in so you can't escape with your intended kidnapping victim

- there's like 10 FA SPs I'd rather sign than Lester
- We should sign more than one starter if at all possible
- I trust Zaidi 100%, he's brought in a lot of talent on the cheap. Super impressed so far.
- Seriously though, Jon Lester?

hey before anyone signs lester, there's a weird thing about him that not a lot of people know. you see, jon lester is a lefty, but don't ask about his pickoff move-- he almost never throws to first. it's true!!!!!!

This dude is just straight up trolling and I'm here for it. HoF voting is a joke and should be embraced as such.


I'm curious to see what the Reds do. Apparently they've told other teams Sonny Gray is available which tells me they're not too high on re-signing Bauer.

As someone that use to work in a family services office, this stuff happens all over everyday. There is a chance that the father is a good guy, was trying to get custody of the daughter so that she could have an amazing life in america, has never been abusive, and the daughter wants to be with Randy. Since we have never heard any other reports about Randy being a giant piece of poo poo, I hope this is the case.

That being said,I will not be surprised at all if we find out when the dust settles Randy is a giant piece of poo poo wifebeater/family abuser like is way,way too common in pro sports though.

There's a non-zero chance this is just a really ugly family quarrel, you're right. After hearing about Puig's lawsuit I'm now just too pessimistic :negative:

IMO Bartolo should come to the Jays if the Mets don't sign him. Then we can add another big sexy lad to our team of chonky boys and trade him to the Mets at the deadline so he can retire as a Met. 2021 would be better with Bartolo playing
