1) I'm gonna miss my big beefy son
2) I'm still annoyed I wasn't able to make the Chicago Dogs game because my work schedule sucks.

2020 also just really sucks in general. :negative:

Kyle Schwarber is destined to go to the Yankees and hit 50 home runs over the little league sized right field.

Mazara was always bad. His best season he had an OPS+ of 96.

I thought they'd keep him. Especially after Theo took off early and left them an additional $10 million to play with this year.

Surprised Cubs also non-tendered Ryan Tepera. He was kind of good last year once he figured out to throw the cutter more. They don't have many strikeout guys in the pen.

I mean if they're in the "lets save $500k mode" and use a lovely minor league reliever next year, that budget is going to be slashed a lot.

David Dahl and Archie Bradley are the two non-tender names that I want the Yankees to go after as of right now.

I kind of can't believe the Reds non-tendered Bradley given how much interest there was in him around the deadline and the fact that he's been good for a few years and has Closer Experience.

The Reds non-tendered two trade deadline pickups in Bradley and Brian Goodwin.

Wow that's hard to believe. I mean RPs are fungible but Bradley's been very good since they moved him to the bullpen. 233 innings of 2.82 ERA ball. I don't understand this economy where late inning relievers like Bradley and Brad Hand aren't worth 8-10 million on a dang one year deal.
