  1. I wouldn't mind at all. Having Italy and Mexico move on is good for the sport overall.
  2. On here, sure. But you have to consider the universe of possible SP signings that the RS might've considered. I thought Monty + Snell was the way to go.
  3. Nothing better in the world (especially for Da Bears) than trading a king's ransom for the overall 1/1, and not even being sure who you want to draft. Tepper might be a brilliant guy, but you have to know when to stay in your lane.
  4. They should've signed: Burnes $210M/7 Monty $47M/2 Snell $137M/5 Walker $72M/4 Manaea $75M/3 Cobb $15M/1 Verlander $15M/1 Scherzer $16M/1 By my estimation, they'd have added a record of 24-34 last year, for a bargain basement price tag of $170M.
  5. I always assumed he'd take Romy's slot on the 26. He has serious bench value.
  6. You're being conned. I have a Nigerian prince that's going to pay me $52M (in gold), as soon as I send him $100 for customs. Hard to believe that people fall for these things. In the old days, when we had fax machines, a group of us would grab the scam E-mails on Monday morning to read them over coffee.
  7. Does Gasper have any shot? Good ST and a switchhitter.
  8. We have a much different team now, but I would still be interested in him.
  9. One of my co-workers told me his brother use to prepare accounting reports for someone in the Forex department. They got along well, so the forex guy asked him if he wanted to change jobs. He went from being an $80k accountant to being a $300k currency trader. Back when that was real money.
  10. From The Rolling Stone Yet perhaps most remarkable was the speed at which the matter was seemingly resolved. Acting with uncharacteristic swiftness, the federal government issued a scathing criminal complaint against Mizuhara just three weeks later — on April 11 — that supported Ohtani’s narrative. The Feds usually move at a snails pace.
  11. You haven't checked your account in 30 years? Just imho, that's not something I'd recommend. I don't check my account every day, but I update my spreadsheets once a week. It keeps me apprised of how I'm doing, as well giving me a chance of catch anything unusual. How do you even know how much you have in the account? Or what you are invested in?
  12. Yeah, but NY is where QBs go to disappear, only to re-emerge elsewhere as a star.
  13. Nice write-up. BP has him #82. That's pretty good for someone you rank #7.
  14. There are an easy dozen stories that are almost impossible to explain away. How does an interpreter, making $200k/year, get a multi-million $$$ line of credit. How does an interpreter manage to swindle banks out of $16M+++? How does Bowers get a one-year jail sentence for taking maybe $100M worth of bets? Ippie tells Ohtani's accountants/financial team that they aren't allowed to examine an account with $16M+ in it, and no one thinks to ask Ohtani to confirm it? The scam goes on for maybe 26 months, and in all that time, Ohtani does not look at one single bank statement? All this is impossible in the real world.
  15. I know Fred is the only one that believes in ST numbers, but for those that do: Alonso OPS is .792 and Contreras is at 1.563. Schwarber is at .833 while Duran is at 2.167.
  16. That's one that they should've talked about.
  17. K/W is up to 9/1, often against minor league pitchers. This is worrisome.
  18. The cash was $6.7M higher in exchange for 2 extra years of service. The PV average was a fair bit lower.
  19. FWIW, while Ohtani got away with it, his interpreter was still part of it. He either stole the money, or he made the transfers on behalf of Ohtani. Both are crimes. That said, I'm pretty sure his interpreter will be taken care of.
  20. The RS offer, from what I heard, was $300M/10. The LAD present value offer was $306.7M/12. The RS offer, if true, was more lucrative. Covid probably impacted that, but that's impossible to calculate.
  21. Right now, this is all for fun. But there should be some natural association with a country before you can play for them. The whole idea is to root for players that had their roots in your country. Me playing for Ireland is fine. But I don't see how Italy inviting a bunch of Irish guys to play for Italy gives Italians a rooting interest.
  22. IMO, Lester was far worse. I think Betts always intended on leaving, but Lester said 'you're going to have to rip this jersey off my back'.
  23. I like what little I saw of Bennett.
  24. I think that the right approach. Too many people try to see how we will replace Bregman & Casas, without considering how how much we will pick up at 1st & 2nd.
  25. I'm not sure of the long-term timing, but if we got Romy back by July, I'd be happy.
