Sad to see the Astros organization getting blackmailed into hosting a pride night. Baseball is for everyone and I think having theme nights for gays,

I'm still confused with the lack of a majestic jersey fire sale


I'm pretty sure I read that Majestic was still providing the uniforms this year, but Nike was paying them a handsome amount to slap the swoosh on them instead of the Majestic logo. Maybe that's the reason.

I'll look around and see if I can find the article.



Edit: I half remembered it...
Quote:

These 2020 jerseys have the exact same tailoring and fabric as Majestic's 2019 jerseys. The only difference is the removal of the Majestic sleeve logo, the addition of the Nike chest logo, and the corresponding change to the jock tag. Everything else is the same.

Betts and Price to Dodgers. Mystery 3rd team involved

Dodgers should try and pawn Dave Roberts off on BOS.

They'll be stacked but it won't matter if he's at the helm.

I'm sure Boston is glad to get those 2 contracts off the books.

Price coming off could make room to go after Betts when he hits the market.

Please let Greinke have the green light to teach Joc some baseball manners

I love watching all these other teams do all these drastic trades knowing they are playing second fiddle to the Astros.

Ughhhh

We're gonna have to hear the name Joc Pederson every time we play the angels?

Can't stand that guy

Looks like Joc Pederson was really dealt you LAA. Timing of that coming out made it seem like it was part of the Betts/Price deal

So dodgers are trading for two players from a cheating team that walloped them in the 2018 WS? I thought these guys were toxic?

You've missed the narrative. Only the Astros cheat. The commissioner told me so.....

Man if we don't get an extension with Springer during spring training we'd have to look like and hard at that type of package for him. Sucks to lose him but if he's walking in 8 months anyway might as well get set up with some young players.

so Price has now been with the Rays, Tigers, Blue Jays, Red Sox, and Dodgers.

he's another one of these strange guys...that everybody wants...but then after you've had him...you're okay with him leaving

Joc is the Cole Calhoun replacement and also insurance against Upton having another disappointing season

Not looking forward to see Joc dance around like a dewsh more often now that he's with LAA

You're really trying to make this Springer trade happen aren't you?

I just don't see it. WS contenders don't just trade their best players. That's closing the window while it's wide open. We need George to win us a WS THIS year.

It's the equivalent of us trading Cole last year because we didn't get him extended in ST.

You'd trade our leadoff hitter and an all star while we are contending for a title??

Do you not care about winning a title this year?

I'm guessing the dodgers are now the Vegas WS favorites after tonight.

Only because they're the clear favorite to win the NL.

Good for Mookie going to a team that can still steal signs. Should bring him back up to his 2018 performance.

You think it is appropriate to trade the World Series MVP and one of the best lead off hitters in the league when the Astros are expected again to contend for a WS title??!

Correa is the only core player I would consider trading. I think you could find a sucker to pay for a 140 game all star SS when they will get a 100 game SS (or less).
It surprised me that his range stats are so poor, maybe the rocket arm is masking his weakness, but lack of range cancels out lots of the positives from the arm.
Farmer1906

He had 9 OOA in a limited time in the field. That good for 9th best SS.
the last of the bohemians
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Supposedly Judge has a very good OOA. Well that puts that whole stat into question.
Farmer1906
How long do you want to ignore this user?
AG
Or he's a good OF.
the last of the bohemians
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah he looks nimble out there.
I credit that stat to some odd phenomenon.
