Big pay day for Manny is coming. He wants in on these stupid contracts.


He got 10/300. I guess he wants one that pays him until 41 like the rest. I don't blame him.

Get ready for him to be the Bregman comp though.

One thing we're not accounting for is MLB screwing **** up. The shift is most likely going to hurt groundball pitchers (Framber & McCullers) and if they jack with the baseball again it could hurt flyball pitchers (Javier & Cole).

Fair point. Maybe fangraphs took that into account with their low WAR projections.

Here's the kind of headline that tells you exactly where your team is heading in 2023.

The White Sox Need To Sign Joey Gallo

Doubt this league or MLB would ever have unlimited challenges.

1) That was a quick challenge
2) Each team gets 3 challenges

If we are going to have a robot ump for review then just use the ****ing robot ump the entire game. What's the use of an actual ump?

We should continue using human umpires that constantly make mistakes. Like in G6 of the WS when literally everyone in the stadium and watching at home knew Schwarber K'd looking in the first AB EXCEPT the home plate umpire

Love it. And I think ultimately they'll be able to do them faster than that.

Except that won't happen. They may a couple correct per game.

The Twins decline the option on Miguel Sano for $3 million to bring in the only guy who strikes out more for $11 million.

I know they won't get them all right.

But if we you have 3 and you retain them if you win them it's gonna end up being way more than just 3 challenges.

Just overall not a fan. Just use robo umps with no challenges. It's gonna happen eventually why not now?

And yes I know it's because of the ump union.

Left handed LFers are coming off the board. We need to make a move.

If medicals suck? Or he has a setback and can't play until July? What if he gets offered a multi year deal by someone else?

It seems like a pretty fair deal. He's a solid above average player entering his prime years. I think we can do better though.

5 mil per war. That's exactly his value. Very fair deal

Conforto is still out there. IMO if we're going to sign a LF not named Brantley, he's more likely than Beni because I don't think he'll demand as many years.

Then that's some really bad news and we are going to either rely on someone unproven or a scrap heap pickup…and then maybe another move at the trade deadline.

But the difference between Benintendi and Hensley or whoever isn't going to sink us.

I think he'll want just a 1-year prove-it deal or a short-term deal with an opt-out after year 1.

I wouldn't want him in the field more than 30-40 games total. But yes, for the right price.

I wonder if Crane will have a conversation with himself and ask if he's willing to bet his job on an injured MB in LF.
