Hope the org and this sack of poo poo tear each other apart

Kinda same, honestly.

I like how Manfred is like "I have the receipts, you were personally sent emails talking about it" and he's like "pssh I didn't read that!"

Practically dropped out of the top 5 of MVP votes this season, time for him to hang it up.

Aubrey Huff is trending on twitter right now because people are dunking on him over this and I am highly amused by it

The best part is it's all pre-emptive dunking on him. He's too busy tweeting election denial stuff to even pay attention to the news of Ng's hiring.

Is it just me or is the Stanton trade too high on this list at #2? The rest of the top-5 are:

1) The most infamous transaction in baseball history
3) Inner circle Hall of Famer and franchise icon (though past his peak)
4) Inner circle Hall of Famer before his peak
5) Inner circle Hall of Famer before his peak

Actually #3 is too high as well imo

I don't have a sub so ... what are these trades exactly? (And since it's one per team I'm sad that the Bagwell trade won't be listed since obviously the Babe Ruth trade is worse and probably #1)

I just looked him up and man I did not remember Billy Wagner being as good as he was. I think my brain conflates him with Billy Koch for some reason.

In the early aughts, Lidge in the 7th, Dotel in the 8th, Wagner in the 9th was about as much of a bullpen lock as you could get.

The Astros plan to avoid consequences by dispersing the cheating players across the league is going to work wonders

The plan to avoid consequences was allow Manfred to do the dumbest little nothing and it worked*


* does not apply to AJ Hinch or Jeff Lunhow who still probably got off light too

Sadly, it's "defensible" (no steroid-suspect guys, everyone else is "less deserving") but it's very specifically defining the goalposts which is pretty silly.

Seeing LaTroy Hawkins on there reminds me does anyone have an archive of all the Gendo comics?

Good, although the record keeping for some of those leagues is spotty I believe

Manfred good?

Nah, this has to be a broken clock situation I'm assuming.

Kansas City’s is metal as gently caress, Atlanta’s is somehow on brand in terms of offending people

clearly the Padres got Miami's
and for Seattle they just cheated and asked Jon Bois

Yeah what the gently caress

also I know Beltre was on the Dodgers for a long time but I just always think Mariners/Rangers for him, and I'm going to be sad if/when he doesn't get voted in right away too

Astros bringing back Castro for some reason even though I'm reasonably sure Stubbs could give them a bad hitting every 5th day catcher without bringing in someone new

maybe Javier Bracamonte wants to retire after 20 years?
