Porcello is still available if there is a want for an additional starter.

I thought this kind of rational thinking was prohibited on here.

At least he didn’t create a HR. Progress.

Small sample size, but Stratton actually pitched really well in 2020. If we got his level of production instead of that we got from Tehran, the team would have likely made the postseason.

Here’s what was said:

He had more tweets that he later deleted, but I didn’t get a chance to screenshot. Essentially said a player gives his all for a team for 7 years and 90% of players want to stay with the team, but hear nothing from them about keeping him, then when they hit the open market and get a big contract from another team, they are vilified for leaving.

Especially when he considers the #14 and #18 ranked SP in fWAR from 2018-2020 No. 2 starters.

The only thing I claim to know is my opinion. I gave mine, just like you gave yours. We are allowed to disagree.

I disagree. In my opinion, IF they went along with his “flirting” because they were receiving the benefit of getting inside information from him at the time, it can be seen as consensual. Regretting of past actions would not change that.

Of course. So I do want to ask you, because I do value your opinion, do you think there is any possibility that the Callaway interactions were consensual?

I respect your point of view. In my opinion, the player did not do anything wrong. It was not stated he disrespected her in any way. FYI. 22% of US married couples met at work.

There are plenty of instances of misconduct by men in all professions. All of those should be punished. A man trying to give her his number because he found her attractive is not one of them. Would you defend a man’s claim of feeling like a victim and that “it was somehow his fault” because a woman gave him her number on his first day of work?

“In a baseball clubhouse without a story like this. My first day in an MLB clubhouse as a 20-year-old intern, a quad-A outfielder who will remain nameless had a coach pass me a piece of paper with his number on it.” I don’t think what she is stating her personal encounter was is similar to what Porter did and the allegations against Callaway.

This makes sense. Also could be the reason why it’s taking so long to get MLB approval.

It was a genuine question. You bright up stalking. Wanted to know if that was in the article since I am not a subscriber.

Did you read different elsewhere?

Callaway is going to get fired no matter what actually happened. If the allegations are completely truthful and there is no additional information that was left out, then he should never work in professional sports again. But if what he claims is true in that everything was consensual, then it’s a shame because it won’t matter, the court of public opinion has already deemed the allegations to be the only truth.

I don’t think there is anything wrong in asking if there is any proof. Judgments should be made based on facts, not stories coming from only one side.

Can anyone with a subscription comment about if there is any proof to any of this in the article?

Barria is out of options.

I think he could have done well in RF for the Angels. Especially for Pujols’ last year since it seems the Pedersons and Pujols were close.
