Sorry. Next time I’ll use deep analysis and respond with “apples and oranges” and nothing else...

He could also be speaking out of his ass. “Alex Verdugo has a sore back. My brother had a sore back his entire life from a congenital stenosis condition. Therefore Alex Verdugo must have congenital stenosis.”

So you’re saying they’re very similar? I mean apples and oranges have a lot in common. They’re both round, both fruit, both about the size of baseballs...

The years are ALWAYS the problem, and frontloading doesn’t matter for tax purposes...

Oh please. 0.00000000000005%. I don’t think that’s a voting share...

Erod and JBJ packaged up and let’s move on .

Well, he did misplay that grounder. But it might be the most overblown and exaggerated miscue in professional sports history... -
Who Will Be The Red Sox Manager in 2020?
notin replied to Tedballgame's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
At least the Dodgers are willing to live Verdugo per that report. Those who like strong-armed right fielders with good foot speed will be pleased. He’s like Puig but without the insanity (so far)... -
As I’ve said before, if the Dodgers were willing to part with Lux, Lindor would be a Dodger...

We all get Betts is arguably the second best player in MLB. And yes he is better at baseball than anyone on the Dodgers’ roster. Probably better than any Dodger position player since Jackie Robinson. But that doesn’t mean that salary and control go out the window in a trade. Especially since Betts will spend 2020 as one of the highest paid players in the league. And no matter how many times you try to make people ignore money and years, it will never be reality. So if Bloom ever actually does trade Betts to LA, you will definitely be disappointed after your unrealistic expectations like “we get Lux and May and Mookie back for August”. Those expecting years and money to matter will be les disappointed. Or possibly -pleased...

Are the Titans really looking for a QB? They seem to have struck low budget gold with Tannehill...

If he signs with the Raiders, as suggested in the OP, then maybe they can take his Tuck Rule picture off the cover of their playbook...

The Mets signed Mountain Matt Adams to a minor league deal. Adams was one of the names I thought would be an upgrade over Moreland. Granted, not a huge one as Adams career OPS vs RHP (.816) isn't substantially higher than Moreland's (.789). But he was cheaper. Also he is 3 years younger...

No mention of Brad Gulden? From his B-R page: November 18, 1980: Traded by the New York Yankees with $150,000 to the Seattle Mariners for a player to be named later and Larry Milbourne. The Seattle Mariners sent Brad Gulden (May 18, 1981) to the New York Yankees to complete the trade.
-
There have been a couple fun cases in MLB history where the PTBNL was the original player traded, effectively meaning these players were traded for themselves (Harry Chiti, Dickie Noles, Brad Gulden and former Providence College and Red Sox SS John McDonald). Rob Ducey was part of two seperate PTBNL trades between the Blue Jays and Phillies in 2000, but he was not actually traded for himself, despite being reported otherwise by ESPN at the time...
-
Chavis did at first, but he slowed down immensely. Now, he could go absolutely off this year and make the All star team. Or he could be demoted by June. It's all up in the air. But that doesn't make Dalbec a lock for anything. And the acquisition of Moreland doesn't help him...
-
There's usually an agreed upon list at the time of the trade. In some cases, it's conditional based on the traded player. If he gets X AB or Y IP, it's this guy. And so on...
-
Unless that PTBNL is Jason Heyward...

I liked Lakins a lot more than Kelley...

Baseball youth participation rates increase

Well, now you're naming some true Big Leaguers... -
Make it 20 pounds of Grade A ribeye and keep Tauchman. I don't trust his stats, as I strongly suspect there was some sign stealing involved...
-
He might have been an AAA All Star, but not much about him made me think he was much of an MLB pitcher, if one at all...

While Wikipedia itself might not be a credible source, each article does contain a list of credible sources at the end...

But only in the past couple years. Only 5 contracts have had a higher value since ARod's original deal 19 years ago, and one of them was his own extension in 2007. Other that that, only Harper, Machado, Cole and Stanton have topped ARod's contract from 2001. And three of those last 4 were signed in the last two off-seasons...
