One time I saw a game in Cleveland against the Astros in 2014 and a guy kept screaming "YOU SUCK GROSSMAN" of all people on the team. It's the only thing I've thought of every time his name comes up.

This is the proper way to heckle, as a mere mutlti millionaire instead of someone sitting on tens or hundreds of millions he's more susceptible.

MLB notified teams that the start of some minor league teams will be delayed. Single A and AA teams will have their seasons start later to avoid too many personnel at the ST facilities which will mean that the A/AA levels will start their seasons a month later and run a month later. https://twitter.com/mlbtraderumors/status/1346817057573265408?s=21

I was in the upper deck at Yankee Stadium in 2017, and some Bronx Teens were just behind us shouting "YOU TRASH HOLLIDAY YOU FAT PIECE OF poo poo" every time Matt Holliday came up. Also, every time a ball got fouled back they were lunging to see if it was going to hit someone and shouting "WHO GETTIN DRILLED?" They were also planning which NY Giants game they were going to get tickets to, with one kid saying "no, no, week 8, Saints, watch AP blow his knee out" Those kids ruled.

This was like when I saw a Jays game and a super drunk dude who passed out in the 6th inning, spent the time he was awake screaming "gently caress BUCK", as in Travis Buck. His career was entirely forgettable, but I will always remember him as if he was Hank Aaron. There is a reason the Jays stopped the Toonie Tuesday promotion.

It's the only thing I've thought of every time his name comes up. I was in the bleachers at an Indians game against the Orioles and some drunk dude was giving the business to Luke Scott without mercy. About the 4th inning he goes “hey Scott! Is that 30 on your jersey the number of dudes you slept with?” and proceeded to get goon-armed out of the stadium by security. The best was 1995 when we played the Twins in a 17 inning marathon. There were a bunch of Sigma Nu frat guys in the bleachers riding Kirby Puckett for a few innings and he was waving them off. One of them yelled out “your butt looks like you just ate a Puckett of chicken!” - he turned and yelled “all right I’ll give you that one”

Great time to share my fave Carrasco story ever: "Carrasco shared in a Players' Tribune article some rather unusual experiences during his early time in the United States. In his first spring training, he ate Domino's Pizza every day for 90 consecutive days, because "it was the only thing I knew how to order." Domino's awarded him one month of free pizza for being their "best customer."

I guess with a price like that, the Jays just couldn't have managed a competitive offer. Now, let's go back to failing to sign George Springer.

They may as well just trade Bieber at this point too because he'll be on his way out before the team is any good. And Ramirez.

This is exactly the kind of outcome I expected and I’m still livid. They should be embarrassed at this point and so should Major League Baseball. In one 3 month span we dumped one of the games’ best closers, a great setup guy, our on-base machine starting 1st baseman, our all-world shortstop, our second best starting pitcher, our starting second baseman - and we got.... TWO SHORTSTOPS??? And a two low-level prospects???? Less than 5 years ago, this was a young cheap team that came within a rain delay of winning the World Series and was a playoff contender every year since. This team is now Jose Ramirez (who’ll probably be deadline trade bait), Shane Bieber, and the Columbus Clippers.

Lfgm. Also, the Cleveland Base Ball Team's opening day payroll is now about 38m. Sympathies to their fans and may fate gently caress the Dolans. E: it's crazy to me that Carrasco is a salary dump, he's making 2/24 and has been ace quality every one of the last five years except 2019.

You can at least argue the Cubs tried post 2016, the Indians were in a similar position with a young star studded team and they just gave up.

I'm glad I decided to forsake Cleveland going forward for Da Mets after they decided to keep the name another year. Love Da Mets Baby. We got a new shortstop and we're gonna win the Series.

I really need to know what other teams, if any, were close on this. obviously the return is poo poo, but are the Mets and the Padres the only teams that are willing to take on salary right now?
