this felt inevitable with the Marlins nibbling all day but it still stings after Baty's error and that terrible throw from center

that was a wild play in the Cards/Bucs game, I can't remember ever seeing two defensive players collide that close to home plate (to say nothing of how spectacularly they did so)

e; agh maybe I'm just being bitter but it feels like Nimmo should've got that

e;; I hope the Mets have plenty of bullpen arms in stock, at this rate they're gonna burn through all their relievers by July

holy poo poo they just said on the SNY broadcast that Vlad Jr.'s $500 million contract is 65 percent ($325 mil) signing bonus

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/04/blue-jays-vladimir-guerrero-jr-reportedly-making-progress-towards-extension.html

quote:

Notably, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the $500MM will be paid out in the form of a whopping $325MM signing bonus, paid out in annual installments over his contract’s 14-year term, with the remaining $175MM constituting his salary. That doesn’t change the luxury-tax picture for the Blue Jays, but it does provide tax benefits to Guerrero. Signing bonuses are taxed based on a player’s official residence, and although Guerrero plays his home games in Toronto, he’s legally a Florida resident, where there’s no state income tax. Further, Rosenthal rightly points out that signing bonuses are paid out even in the event of a potential labor stoppage, whereas player salaries could be withheld or prorated. Effectively, the mammoth signing bonus provides Guerrero an avenue and safety net to take home as much of that mammoth guarantee as possible.

blah loss for the Mets, their starting lineup is weak (only four players with an OPS above .600) and desperately needs the returns of McNeil and Alvarez to bolster it a bit

TV Zombie posted:

McNeil has been gone so long, I no longer remember his presence in the lineup except that the shift stalled him a bit.

Also, is Alvarez that much better than Torrens? I think Torrens adds defense that Alvarez lacks.

I think he's an upgrade but not a huge one, Torrens' defense is better but the team desperately needs Alavarez's pop right now
