Ignoring the fact that it’s Bauer (and the potential theatrics that come with him), and ignoring the fact that covid has potentially made all owners question their revenue over the next season, can we really see any other stars taking a deal like this vs just going for a longer deal with guaranteed money like 5/175? How often would that happen? In what semi-real-world hypothetical do we think this could be manipulated further? Maybe a star pitcher in Free Agency coming back from TJS? Because of the question marks surrounding Bauer (or because he wanted a short contract) he didn't have any longer offers on the table. If he did, would this even be a manipulation that was available to the Dodgers?

Bundy likes cool weather pitching.

Wasnt Jared Walsh turning it up? He was hitting .333 in Sep w/ a 1.110 OPS.. why put Thaiss out there when Walsh was starting to feel his swing?

If he keeps up this approach at the plate vs his pull-happy, HR-hungry version last year, then definitely need to re-sign him as long as its not too hefty of a price or more than 4 years (at most)

Will tomorrow’s games only be 7 innings?

The future was seen.. only the batter was Adell

The article created a lot of confusion.. Angels are not doing fan cutouts.
