Yes. I also have the first pick in my NL fantasy league, so I do have a rooting interest. But yes.

Why not just leave the DH position and grab some decent depth options to spell Trout and Rendon, so they can occasionally DH to try to keep them healthy? I don't think the DH "position" needs to have a full-time occupant.

It's also because he's 25 years old. The Angels could sign him and he'd still be in their rotation the next time the Angels are WS contenders...in 2030.

None of that is ever going to happen as long as Arte owns the team, so the rest is moot.

Arte prefers to create his own hurdles where there was previously a smooth path.

There are a lot of them in Reno, too. Not sure how many of them are relocated NorCal denizens. I'd say you dodged a bullet not getting tix to that snoozefest on Sunday.

Allow me (who lives in the same state the Raiders are currently located in...for now...until they bail again...) to talk shit about that Commitment to Excrement. They suck, man. They have for a generation. And, as a Broncos fan, I couldn't be more pleased.

Jays fans have now had a taste of the "Buttercup Experience".

There is precedent. Ted Williams played for the Red Sox and never even played a postseason game. The Sox and Indians played a 155th game for the AL pennant in 1948, but the Indians won that game 8-3. Williams went 1-4.

They probably talked about organ-I-zations as well.

Would $700 million be enough?

This did not age well.

I'm glad he got paid. He deserves to. Does he deserve nearly 3/4 of a billion dollars? Does anyone, really? I'm glad the Angels aren't paying him that much.

Buttercup

I think the Braves dump Stassi on someone else.

They were actually hearing this:

Saw it on mine, too.

Reports: Ohtani Still Undecided On Next Club - MLB Trade Rumors Free agent Shohei Ohtani has not made a decision on his next club, per reports from Ben Nicholson-Smith and Shi Davidi of Sportsnet and Alden Gonzalez of ESPN and others. Earlier today, a report from J.P. Hoornstra of Dodgers Nation relayed that the two-way superstar would be signing with the Blue Jays, though nothing has been made official as of yet. Ohtani was reported to be en route to Toronto by Jon Morosi of MLB.com, though Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports that Ohtani is at home in Southern California.

It would be even nicer if we had 5 men to fill that rotation (other than the dregs of humanity...).

Someone else is gonna pay that man his money...

And another $200 milly to Bellinger.

Yeah, but $600 million CDN is, what, $6 million actual USD?

Well, it would be funny if Jays fans are getting Buttercupped...
