gently caress I drove 22 hours to watch a couple games and they were $16.

They had a single place out near the left field pole on the concourse that was selling 5 dollar 12oz beers/hotdogs/ice cream. You just have to stock up when you're there if you're not sitting nearby.

4/82 extension for Sal Perez seems nuts but who else are the Royals spending that on I guess?

I don't think a .750 OPS catcher should be getting a deal through his mid-30s at 20 million per. He doesn't have old man hitting skills, so if his contact skill erodes he's gonna be pretty bad. No defensive specialist is worth that.

I don't know how much he SHOULD make, but the third highest paid catcher in MLB seems like its too much in a vacuum. But like I wrote before, there's no-one else for them to have to pay right now really, so unless they plan to only be spending 100 million a year instead of 150ish like they were, its probably not a big deal and shouldn't really stop them from going out and signing a guy or two if they want.

TBH Lindor has been a 325m player for 1 season in his career and he's gotten worse the last 2 years. He's probably the worst of the big stortstop FA class next year and they will all get screwed on money coming off a labor stoppage.

Haha this is a spicy hot (and bad) take.

mcmagic posted:

I already granted you that Lindor's 2018 season was a 400mm dollar player. It's just blatantly obvious that he didn't do that any other year of his career and his trendline is down from 2018 to 2019 to 2020. I didn't bring up LeMahieu.....

2020 was 60 games so its easy enough to ignore and he still would have been close to a 5 win player over a full season.

2019, he was a 5.5 win player.

This is a really bad take. He's arguably the best SS in baseball, and at worst top 3.

I wonder how far he will fall as a result. The Dodgers took Walker Buehler 24th overall under similar conditions, he needed TJS soon after signing.

Jeff Hoffman was a junior, projected top 5 pick and fell to the Jays at 9 cause he got tjs right around now.

You're right he doesn't have to share it. It just seems odd to say you don't want to share if you're getting it but then implying you are heavily in favour of players getting it because you were in a commercial promoting vaccines.


This is what makes me think the MLBPA instructed the players not to say yes or no and use the personal choice line. Alonso very clearly is saying he got or will get the vaccine, just with the biggest wink imaginable.

Just wanted to say that anyone that defended Sandy Alderson in these threads the last few months, well he's a poo poo just like I said. He clearly doesn't give a drat about sexual harrassment in the Mets front office, only the press about it. This article is all kinds of hosed up

https://theathletic.com/2519652/202..._shared_article


The last line of the story pretty much nails what Alderson thinks:

Amidst the talk about looking ahead, the “constructive steps” that the Mets and MLB are implementing, Alderson expressed frustration that the organization continues to face a reckoning for past deeds.

“Is there ever a statute of limitations on coverage of some of this stuff?”



Considering he just re-hired someone that he was confronted about, this is all kinds of gross and he can gently caress off forever.

When Osuna was arrested for assaulting his girlfriend, the Blue Jays immediately said that he would never play for them again, and traded him for Ken Giles.

They're currently allowing a maximum of 1,000 fans at their home games.

They did some service time manipulation with the current young guys, but the team does seem willing to pay big money for players.

They're owned by one of Canada's really lovely telecom companies, so it's probably a factor that they don't want to have bad publicity for the parent company. The team itself seems to have a good culture.

They never said Osuna would never play for them again and floated through the media, up until he was traded months later, the idea that he would come back to the team to see what public support was. He was traded because fans were almost in open revolt at the idea of him returning.

The front office also hired and most likely knew about Mickey Callaway on Cleveland
