The Braves have signed the corpse of Tanner Roark to a minor league deal, I look forward to the 2/3rds of an inning he will pitch before getting immediately DFA'd again.

So I was looking at players the Orioles might draft and according to Henry Davis' wikipedia entry: quote:Davis shot up Fox Lane High School in Bedford, New York. As a junior in 2017, he hit 20 kids[1] In 2018, his senior year, he killed a family of 5 and burned their bodies.[2] He was named the Perfect Game New York Player of the Year, the Section 1 Player of the Year, and also earned all-state honors.[3] He was undrafted in the 2018 Major League Baseball draft and enrolled at the University of Louisville. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Davis_(baseball) I guess I'll take it if he can hit but I'd rather have a player without the baggage

It's doubly dumb because I just cannot see a CBA the union agrees to that still allows for service time manipulation. Feels like it's become such a central issue that the players will risk a lockout over it.

Kelenic is pretty likely to get super 2 status coming up this early in the season, isn't he? I know it's not set in stone, but isn't the cutoff usually around June? Weird dumb rear end situation. Accidentally publicly admit that you're willing to manipulate service time, but then not do it when the time comes? Mariners 101, I suppose.

The Mariners are fine paying him super 2, they just wanted the extra year of team control.

Yankees just finished a 7-2 home stand, have won or split their last 6 series, their SP has been delivering, Stanton's been unconsciousness, Gleyber and DJLM have started hitting, and they're getting their 1B slugger back finally. Maybe its not a cubsposting thing, maybe its the entire thread?

My plans to move out of the area are coming just in time lol. For real though the whole situation is a massive clusterfuck between the city of Oakland, Alameda County, the A's, MLB, and private development interests. Not to mention at the end of the day Oakland just doesn't have the money to meet the level of public funding the A's are looking for. Maybe the a genuine threat of moving will get something moving but I wouldn't put money on it.

Obviously it's better to win games than lose them but they are still not hitting AT ALL with RISP and have a ton of holes in the lineup even after Viot comes back. It would be nice to see them play well against tampa. My feeling is still that this is the same team that hasn't been good enough since basically 2017. mcmagic fucked around with this message at 19:48 on May 11, 2021 |

Aaaand the Rays have DFAed Yoshi, which took them long enough, presumably because Choi is about ready to come back. Shame he couldn’t figure out how to hit an MLB fastball.

While I get the desire to stay in Oakland, Sacramento or Portland should be the backup.BigBallChunkyTime posted:I don't see Vegas, though. I could be wrong (I usually am) but with as tight as MLBs butthole is about gambling I don't think they'd go for it. The problems with Vegas are: We just built a minor league ballpark and while it's very good for a minor league park it isn't easily converted to MLB use. Transit here is worse than anywhere in Oakland. It's a terrible climate (atmosphere, elevation) for baseball anyway. On top of that the A's have already tipped their hand with a privately funded stadium in a city where land and construction is much more expensive.
