Go for Machado, Cubs. I'd rather have a dirty player on our team than a domestic abuser. Don't you loving dare re-sign Murphy.

Cubs exercised the $10.5 million option on Quintana and claimed lefty reliever Jerry Vasto off waivers from the Royals. They still haven't exercised Strop's $6.25 million option yet, which seems like a no-brainer.

Lester, Hendricks, Darvish, Hamels, and Quintana seems like a fine rotation as long as they can stay healthy and the offense remembers how to hit.

bawfuls posted:ah yes, Nick Markakis and his 114 wRC+, good for 17th among qualified NL outfielders this year (but he was 6th by AVG so I guess that's why he won a SS?) He won a gold glove too, so I guess all you need is a resurgent season to win all the awards.

bewbies posted:Is Salvy's season the worst ever in which a player won both a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger? 1999 Palmeiro comes to mind, but only because that was the stupidest gold glove in history. His Silver Slugger at DH was well deserved, but he won the Gold Glove for 1B while only playing 28 games at that position.

Pancakes posted:What would we say the best RoY individual year was? Setting aside 1947 because going up against Jackie just isn't fair. 1956 (Aparicio & Frank Robinson), 1967 (Carew and Seaver) and 2001 (Ichiro and Pujols) seem like the best, just eyeballing it. 2012 with Trout and Harper was pretty insane, with a combined 15.7 bWAR.

Usually MotY goes to whichever team was the most surprisingly good, and I think the Braves were a much bigger surprise than the Brewers. Everyone was predicting the Braves to be 4th in the NL East, but most people were saying the Brewers would end up 3rd or even 2nd in the NL Central.

Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf have a kid whose genes alone would probably make him the best tennis player ever, but Agassi had an extremely overbearing father who basically made Andre hate tennis, so he discouraged his own kids from playing it. Jaden Agassi is one of the top high school baseball prospects now and is committed to USC.

Mustached Demon posted:II am glad the assholes with votes went with my not groundbreaking opinion: whoever carried their team to a NL Central title would win MVP. Yelich would've won it even if the Cubs won the Central. Javy winning would've saved the city of Milwaukee a lot of money, though. They'd have enough salt to keep the roads clear all Winter.

jit bull transpile posted:Man there's been like no Brewers news other than the MVP award. I'd have figured their stove would be pretty hot given they're like 2 even passable pitchers away from a world series. I know they're interested in Sonny Gray, but I haven't heard much else. If last offseason was any indication, it may take a while before stuff starts happening.

Popete posted:This information has to be out there somewhere but what is the trend for ticket/beer prices adjusted for inflation? I'm not old enough to have noticed and have only really started going to games regularly in the past 5 years but it seems like ticket/beer prices are absurd lately (especially at Wrigley, but elsewhere as well). Have prices jumped up significantly since the 80s/90s? Apparently we should be complaining about hot dog prices going up more than beer prices.
