They should phrase this better. Makes it look like "will" is an auxiliary verb as in "Will will set the tone". I don't know why multi-billion dollar corporations hire illiterate people to do their communications. Or every single newspaper.

I was at the game where Trayce walked one off for the Sox...good times. I did not realize he had retired.

Multiple executives expected Bauers to accept the $23.15 million qualifying offer from the Brewers -- more than nine times what he made in 2026 -- but Boston swooped in and locked him up with the first long-term deal of his career. Because the deal went for more than $50 million and the Brewers are revenue-sharing recipients, they will receive a compensatory draft pick between the end of the first round and competitive balance round A. espn.com

The defensive metrics completely fell apart after the first 2-3 months of that particular experiment.

Sure but Skubal has a much better secondary offering. And the biggest problem will be sustaining his outings through innings 4/5/6...durability will be a significant concern based on the month of Sept and playoff results.

Chiefs moving across state lines to Wyandotte County KS.

Even Taira's likely getting $50-75 million depending on contract length... More likely guys like May and Woodruff on speculative contracts...or Korean based former big leaguers/drafted.

buy high high high lol big no no so much for Romy/T.Casas https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/from-journeyman-to-58m-jake-bauers-heads-to-boston-in-smart-move-for-red-sox-214351919.html https://www.si.com/mlb/red-sox/red-sox-bet-jake-bauers-breakout-season-was-no-fluke-hot-stove-takes Ty France just went up in value...

otoh guys like Walker Buehler nowhere close to the pitcher he was pre injury...which was Top Ten in the majors May also hasn't been anywhere close his velo also down 2-3 mph from peak

Getz always gets his man

Dick Tharp Field in Normal. They were the #1 seed in 7A with a still undefeated record. But it doesn’t look like they played any really good teams... https://www.maxpreps.com/il/normal/normal-community-ironmen/football/schedule/ I think BR will take care of them, but the true test would be next week because they would likely have to face East St. Louis. Downers Grove North took out St. Rita last week so there’s no chance at a rematch of last year’s championship game, but I wouldn’t mind seeing a BR / DGN championship game.

Why? He was terrible in Birmingham last year, and he doesn't have any big crazy tool that would make him a fixer upper.

Well seems like they might go for pitching in the 2nd year after their TJ recovery. Sometimes that's a sweet spot for a big improvement or an injury filled year. I don't have anything to back that up but with with so many pitchers having TJS there's plenty out there who have improved and become very good pitchers

I can't understand why Boston would give him that type of contract.

Interesting, you don’t think LaCombe gets protected?

Poop

I can't emphasize enough how little the physical address of a team matters. New York teams aren't in New York City, or state. Dallas is in Arlington. San Francisco is in Santa Clara like 50 miles from SF. The Patriots are a half hour out of Boston. Miami isn't in Miami, unless you count Miami Gardens.

SUre. Need to stash someone in AAA

It's not bad, but I think they want this built ASAP, and for that to happen, it's Arlington Heights or Indiana, and it won't be Indiana even though that is probably where their best deal is. You can't be the pride and joy of Illinois and play in Indiana. And they aren't getting rid of the song.

Been there countless times. Also, finding the hat that is on your head

9 of the Yankees top 10 prospects are pitchers which is interesting. There could be a fit on paper. Then again, I feel like Yankees prospects are always overrated. Maybe Carlos LaGrange?

Yes, because fan speculation is what causes things to happen, or not.

expect more of this since pitching is expensive
