The man of the moment in golf is Justin Thomas. He came into this week's Hawaiian Open having won 2 of his last 3 events, and started off with a cool little 59 followed by a 64. Not a big guy at all but hits it a mile thanks to some insane clubhead speed.
Trout's salary for tax purposes is 24.08 million. He's under control until the end of 2020. They probably will trade him before then, the only question is when. Maybe they start entertaining bids next offseason.
Hopefully Price gets another shot at the postseason this year. Needless to say there will be a lot of stories about his lack of postseason success beforehand.
I would speculate loss of bat speed, probably from simple deterioration of physical strength and/or coordination. That has sent the careers of many hitters to premature terminations.
We will pick up another reliever or 2, the only question is will we be able to wait to the deadline to do it. We really can't afford another name brand premium reliever either in dollars or more prospects. It'll be one of DD's challenges this year.
I think there have been times when I've been dismissive about certain sports too, including auto racing. But auto racing is plenty demanding. You're not just out for a Sunday drive. You're trying to go as fast as possible and beat the other drivers while making sure you and your car make it through the race in one piece. A lot of physical skill and mental acuity would obviously be required. I certainly wouldn't want to attempt it.
