Would you guys prefer an off-season countdown of Astros draft picks or greatest regular season games? The games won't be in any particular order, but will be fun.
The Yankees gave Yoshinobu Yamamoto his own #18 jersey when they met with him, per @BrendanKutyNJ

May I make a suggestion?
What about a recap of a notable/fun game that coincides to the amount of days left until Opening Day?
For example...If we're 75 days out a recap of a interesting game 75 of a random season. The next day would be a game 74 and so on and so on.

Great idea, although I will wait until it's 100 days until Opening Day because it will certainly take some research.Ag_07 said:

We're 98 days away

MLB is tinkering with the pitch clock. When a runner is on they are cutting the clock from 20 sec down to 18.
110% this is all about increasing stolen bases.

And the clock starts when they get the ball and not when they are actually on the mound. We should definitely trade Framber nowMathguy64 said:

He's already curled up in a ball in the corner, completely catatonic. But don't worry. A quick change of shoes and glove and he will be right as rain.Project Gemini said:And the clock starts when they get the ball and not when they are actually on the mound.

Don't let facts get in the way of a good narrative.
Runners on Base
Player -- ERA -- FIP -- xFIP -- Pitcher Base Advances Prevented
Bielak - 6.02 - 4.84 - 4.71 - (-2)
France - 6.11 - 3.56 - 4.54 - 0
Verlander - 6.58 - 4.22 - 4.76 - 2
Framber - 7.13 - 4.24 - 4.05 - (-2)
Javier - 8.87 - 5.10 - 5.42 - (-7)
Urquidy - 10.08 - 4.30 - 5.54 - (-6)
Brown - 10.14 - 4.52 - 3.38 - (-7)
Javier, Urquidy, and Brown are more likely to be impacted.

The Giants have been told they’re out of the bidding for Yoshinobu Yamamoto, per source familiar with discussions. They pushed hard but expectation is that he will end up in LA or NY.
— Alex Pavlovic (@PavlovicNBCS) December 22, 2023
Giants miss again.
I hope it's LA
I'm all for loading up all the talent possible on one team in the NL.

I hope it's LA and they do some $500MM/12 contract with $450MM deferred.
I want everyone in MLB hating them.

Hearing from very reliable sources that Yamamoto to the Yankees is done. 9 years $326 million. Being told Godzilla Matsui helped push it over the goal line.

Yoshi keeps the #18 jersey.
Dude is a character on McAfee's show, who knows if he's right or trolling
Hopefully that prices them out of our Cuban pitcher.
Can't believe they are making the game even shorter
No matter what!

Are these real?
A pitcher warming up for 1 inning must face a batter?
That's absolutely fkn rahtahded

It means if they take the field and warm up in the mound. They must face a batter. You can't wait u til the inning starts to switch him.

Nvm, I read that as warming up in the BP
Oh ok!
Yeah I thought that meant if a reliever gets up in the BP for an inning he has to face someone.

Cmon now. You're smarter than that
Jesus.
Hearing Yamamoto will sign with the Dodgers for more than $300 million.
— JackCurryYES (@JackCurryYES) December 22, 2023
Of course.
Japanese star Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the Los Angeles Dodgers are in agreement on an 12-year, $325 million contract, sources familiar with the deal tell ESPN.
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) December 22, 2023
12 years is insane
Fightin' Texas Aggie and Sam Houston State Bearkat
I wonder how much of that is deferred and if that includes the posting fee.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto's deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers is the largest contract for a pitcher in Major League Baseball history, beating Gerrit Cole's deal by $1 million. Furthermore, the Dodgers will pay an additional $50.6 million in posting fee. Total outlay: 12 years, $375M.
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) December 22, 2023
Shiiiiiiit
Giving a pitcher the largest contract in history without ever throwing a pitch in the MLB certainly won't blow up in their face
Sources: The Mets offered $325 million to Yamamoto. The Yankees offered $300 MM

More cents that sense in California.
All that money to not even make it out of the NLDS.
