  1. The thing for me is, we never got a credible explanation for how the interpreter could make 30+ transfers of $500 K to an unidentified account without the bank looking into it. We did hear about all these new security measures banks have in place to flag suspicious transactions for money laundering and the like. So how could this happen? I'd love to know how the bank explained it to the investigators.
  2. Last year we kept asking what starting pitcher they were going to sign besides Giolito. And the answer was NIL.
  3. Anybody's guess. We really can't count on anything.
  4. I think they'd like to make the playoffs. But I think the financial bottom line has clearly become their dominant focus.
  5. Yeah, I don't think the idea of "the guy" really works, mainly because too often "the guy" has other wealthy suitors. Even the Yanks are losing out on "the guy" in some cases-Yamamoto and Soto.
  6. Seems to me it's clearly framed as a two-part point. 1) Why are they spending so little; 2) Why, when they do spend, do they pick guys like Story and Yoshida? I can wrap my head around the concept of multi-faceted incompetence...
  7. But most of the guys they supposedly "really want" they get outbid for. Let's face it - they're failures.
  8. Alas, if moon's first sentence said addition instead of signing, 'twould be a perfect post.
  9. A one year extension would really be weird.
  10. I've had no problems today. There might be an ad chasing you here from another site you were on. Not sure. I'm not much of a tech guy anyway.
  11. I think that's interference from ads. It's happened to me too. We talked about it on the moderator's forum, and Brock said it was probably specific ads doing it. If the problem persists, I'll let Brock know about it.
  12. I think we're going to see a lot of stories about this. The Dodgers kind of broke the camel's back this weekend.
  13. They are. They're not cheating, but they're exploiting flaws in the system to an incredible degree. I think we can be pretty sure it's being noticed and there will be changes. But that doesn't help anyone in 2025 or 2026.
  14. Sign Kirby Yates and David Robertson to 1 year deals. Do something.
  15. Same, especially the 5 years part.
  16. No big deal. A bunch of guys on SOSH were questioning if it was fake and then Rob Bradford posted that it was inaccurate.
  17. This might be a fake message according to some other internet sleuths. We shall see.
  18. Yeah, they're going to have to make the penalties for going over by a lot absolutely ridiculous. They tried in the last CBA but it just wasn't enough.
  19. A face to face meeting might have been recommended in this case.
  20. I can understand the interpreter getting access for a little while. But this apparently went on for a long time. And it was never really explained how the bank let it keep happening without at least picking up the phone to call Ohtani. We heard about all the checks that are supposedly in place to prevent money laundering etc., but not why they all failed here.
  21. The Dodgers really are almost literally getting away with murder these days. How many more things can go their way?
  22. Ohtani's interpreter might be the key to saving baseball! Yes, I'm losing it a bit...
  23. No question. The Red Sox are just being further exposed as cheapskates taking advantage of their loyal fans. But hey, maybe this will inspire Henry to free up an additional $250 K... 😛
  24. Re-open that Ohtani gambling investigation! Wouldn't it be something if some "new facts emerge" on that one...
