If you buy them through the chronicle's site, it's $30 + $10 shipping. Sadly it's not that big of a ripoff


30 for a poster or the actual paper
$30 for all the covers of the paper.

The pictures in link certainly don't look like newspaper quality. I'm guessing those are on more of a cardstock?


If you want the actual glossy, frameable POSTERS, they just dropped today and can be found here:

This rift is much more than that one deal.

The more I read and hear the more I'm thinking maybe Crane doesn't like how much he's had to step in.

Stepped in to resign JV x2
Stepped in to resign Brantley
Stepped in to nix the Contreras deal

Did he step in to extend Yordan?

Maybe he likes it but maybe he's thinking 'I need a guy who can get these things done without me interjecting everytime a big deal is on the table'.

Click is all analytics and Dusty isn't. There is your rift.

from what I've been told that was 100% a Crane driven deal from start to finish.

I dont care who makes the JB and Brantley deals but we need to sign them.. I would like to sign Yuli too, he can DH and play plenty of games

This still surprises me. Not sure what the plan is, but that seemed like a pretty affordable option.

I have always associated Dusty with the Giants but maybe the WS changes that.

I dont know if this has been discussed already in the 2022 thread, but Chandler Rome was just on MLB Network talking about the Crane/ Click/ Baker situation, and mentioned that Click had a trade set up at the deadline to bring Contreras to the Astros for Urquidy, but Dusty went to Crane to get the deal canceled. Explains some of the mixed feelings going on with management.
This isn't some abnormal event. Stuff like this happens every year across the board.
Yeah a week before this story broke was a similar one about the Astros almost acquiring Bryce Harper but the Nats owner shooting it down.

That's really a good question but I think it would be dumb not to grandfather him and let him decide himself. Which means it won't happen.

He'd be getting in based on his coaching, not his on field play. Not to say he wasn't a great player, but he wasn't HOF worthy based on it alone.

It's hard to argue against where he went to 3 straight CS, 2 straight WS, and win it all. And thats before this season!

Anybody happen to catch the Millie Mays documentary on HBO last night?

Really well done and I highly recommend.

Dusty makes quite a few appearances.

Mancini is a poor hitting DH who doesn't make you better anywhere defensively. Alot of his #s in Baltimore can probably be chalked up to getting a few extra pitches to hit because they were so bad. It was obvious when he got into our lineup that the other teams realized he was a sure out. Yuli over him 100000x over.
