I am in if we can get an Alex Bregman TOFA chant


We can all put money in and if we don't get enough to get Breggy then we just use the money to get the Island Boys to sing an Astros song.

Don't care. Gammons had forgotten now about baseball than many of us know.

Beltran trying to rehab his image, paid by the Yankees to trash the Astros and distract from the letter appeal

With Bielak getting optioned, we're either carrying an extra bench bat or an extra lefty in the pen, I would guess.

None of his answers really bothered me until the last one. He should have said no stain on the title.

It's a very coordinated media campaign. First the Cashman comments and now this. "Yea we cheated but the Astros were still worse!" That letter must be pretty damning.

Funny how Beltran hasn't said a damn thing until a day before the Yankees letter is released. True scum.

He contradicts himself several times in that one group of questions. No wonder the MLB named him. He probably sucked a** during questioning.

Lets just get on with the part where we learn that the Yankees were doing the exact same thing, just like we know many other teams were. Bunch of hypocrites.

Still Champs.

Blanco being in means someone will have to come off the 40 man (likely Lance to the 60-day IL)

It's amazing the degree to which they went full sell mode this off season.

regarding the A's...I guess the question is...why are they in full-sell mode?

the organization must have really hidden their financial woes due to COVID (or from COVID) the last 2 years.

Spotrac lists their payroll at $42 MM for the 2022 season.

and, um, how is the new stadium coming along?

Low attendance. Likely not a very tax friendly environment. Can't attract good players in free agency (if they wanted to). They burned a lot of prospect capital these past few years at the trade deadline building bullpens full of closers and trading for a whole new outfield. I think they see a lot of their home grown talent about to hit free agency and they would rather burn it down and rebuild the farm through trades rather than let them all go to free agency for nothing (especially with the QO possibly on the way out and draft compensation going away).

Regarding Beltran, my initial reaction is "**** that guy."

His answers are b.s. Hinch told them to stop. He even smashed the monitors, but they still did it.

This is straight PR spin because he is with the Yankees. Also, Micheal Kay is always wearing his Yankees glasses. That whole team and fan base sucks. I hope they get destroyed in the AL East this year. Regardless of what's in the letter, their fans will rationalize it as "not that bad" or "we had to do something to keep up with those cheating Astros."

Let it go. Y'all lost. You couldn't hit Astros pitching at MMP. Gary Sanchez also sucked. Deal with it.

In our system that's Shawn Dubin & Misael Tamarez. Doesn't seem like a very steep price off hand. Especially given how much they've traded away, it's probably even lower. I could be totally wrong though.

How sweet would it be if he plunked a batter or two.
