Turner played 7 games at 3B last year and he is #10 on the list of best 3Bs? He is expected to be TOR's DH.

Rangers likely on Bally for 1 more year. Probably a good thing for the team to get 85% of what was promised and buys them a year to look for a more stable long term deal.
That's welcomed news.

From the article:

Quote:
A 15% reduction could knock roughly $8.25MM off the Guardians' expected revenues, while the Rangers' deal could be reduced by something in the $17MM range by that criteria.

Last year MLB agreed to fund the difference. It will be interesting to see if they offer to do the same this year. Only the $25.25M, since Minn didn't have an agreement.

From a cash-flow perspective that should finalize that discussion.

From a CBT perspective... still more work to be done.

It's good about the money. I just wish they'd do something with streaming this year so I don't have to get Fubo again when the season starts.
I totally get where you're coming from. I can't stand all of this uncertainty of "what channel will they be on?" And how much will it cost?

I have Bally so personally I'm ok with it staying there one more year, but I know tons of fans struggle to get access to Bally. I guess I was just hoping they would do something where I wouldn't have to pay a ton of money out of pocket at the last minute.

They need to quit jerking us all around, give us lots of notice about what's happening, and make it easy to access the games. Amazon prime would be perfect. I like that idea.

From Jeff Wilson :

Quote:


Young said that the pain wasn't bad enough to keep Seager from playing, and he played his tail off. He hit one of the most famous home runs in Rangers history in Game 1 of the World Series en route to being the series MVP.

However, it wasn't the first World Series homer hit by a Rangers player with a sports hernia. Josh Hamilton hit two-run shot in Game 6 of the 2011 World Series shortly after the Cardinals had forced a tie in the ninth inning.

Hamilton underwent surgery shortly after the season and in 2012 launched 42 home runs, including four in one game.

No pressure, Corey.




The Hamilton Homer is easy to forget because of the outcome of the series, but it really should've been the biggest home run in rangers history until Seager did what he did.

I'd still go with the home run cruz hit in game 2 of the ALCS as #2 behind Seagers game 1 home run that saved us from going down 0-2 to Arizona.

Thanks for putting this together.

Ridiculous that Lowe, Heim and Jung are not in the top 10 at their respective positions. Some of those lists are embarrassing.

To be fair,

Lowe didn't perform up to his standards last year. We are all assuming or hoping it's because he was worried about his mother. Is she better or getting better?

Heim and Jung both had injuries at crucial times last year when lots of national folks were watching this team to see if we would actually make the playoffs. The team as a whole looked a lot better and more dangerous overall in the first half of the season than the second.

Even in Lowe's "down year" he was still top 10 in WAR and won a gold glove.

That's a big move.

Costly, but the O's can afford it.

Sucks for all fans really. I think most fans just want to have it resolved in some way. The whole waiting in limbo thing really blows.

It does but if this means they are in a better spot financially I'm fine with it. Gives a year to negotiate for '25 rights.
