LOL thanks for the ring buh bye

Not that I disagree with his decision, I don’t. And yes I realize Washington could still re-sign him.

Damn, we went all of the '90s and half the '00s without the WS ending on a K.

I’m actually surprised by how little I notice the ads on nba jerseys. Seems like an easy way to make revenue.
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

The gold glove awards are on espn2 now. Bellinger beat out Harper, he’s getting interviewed right now. I can see why he’s not a household name because he’s sooooo boring.

About to announcer pitcher and catcher.

His famous meter only reaches 1.5 Mikolas, out of the maximum 10.

steamer prohections for 2020 are out. cole projected for 6.5 fwar... strasburg for 'just' 4.3!
phils hitter sum to a respectable 20.5 fwar, putchers to a concerning 11.8. the combo would imply right around 81 wins again.

I still find it fascinating that Greasy Neale was the starting left fielder for the 1919 World Series winning Reds, coached in the Rose Bowl 3 years later, and won 2 NFL titles as the head coach of the Eagles in the late 40's.
Yes son. I'm the best mono-thingy guy there ever was.

The team currently isn't any different so that only makes sense

Alex Anthopoulos has a big mouth.

Every day you get more information. And we've had time to connect with 27 of the clubs -- obviously the Astros and (Nationals) being in the World Series, they were tied up -- but we had a chance to get a sense of what the other clubs are going to look to do in free agency, who might be available in trades.


MLBPA executive director responds.

The statements made by Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos call into the question the integrity of the entire free-agent system. The clear description of Club coordination is egregious, and we have launched an immediate investigation looking into the matter.
Drunk and stupid is no way to be remembered but it is an easy way to forget.

I see the issue but is a GM NOT supposed to contact the other clubs and try to determine what they are going to do and who might be available via trade?

Sure but it's like the NBA, you don't clearly describe the EGREGIOUSNESS
