It would be fair to say 100 days per season on the roster counts for one year service time.

This was about Scott Boras. I don't normally take sides.

Someby call Kris a waahhmmbulance. He is ready for trade to the Braves.

Will not miss him. Distraction.

The once hapless Bills are slowly improving but hoping Josh Allen improves his throwing. Biggest move was Tom Brady finally not throwing well. I am a fair-weather bills fan.

One of the panel members had McCann #8. There was also sentiment for Realmuto #1.

Congrats to Grandal #1 catcher

Rikki is changing the game.

Madrigal looks to me like he needs about 23 more games in the minors before checking all of the boxes.

Nothing new here, no means no. If you want to survive who but you looks out for you? I doubt Daryl will answer anything of substance. I never understood hanging out in bars even when my brother owned a local hot spot. Another prob is that 'friends' do these things as often as strangers. We condemn the criminal behavior of not respecting women. Only cowards do these things.

If LuRob stays healthy the sky is the limit. Needs to lighten up a tad on the K's is all.

Getting non-tendered by the Sox is a gold star on your resume. Not sure if the league takes Yolmer all that seriously. Draw your own conclusions.

Time we heard from the OF crew.

Sitting at a game means missing replays and no channel or tablet surfing. Attention spans make it difficult. Shortening the game might help and also save on player wear and tear. Given that almost every pitch is hyper-analyzed perhaps the game has gotten too stressful and stretched out.

Well that's all been normalized now so we might as well put some red marker on our socks and commemorate the inevitable.

Questions for Reddick Altuve and Bregman at fanfest. Nobody gave a direct answer of any use.

The moral high ground here is a slippery slope. Similar to condemning one husband for his wandering eye and acting as though the rest of the gang is guilt free. I recall Raffy's outrage before Congress before being outed for cheating. Most of these guys are not heroes.

Jack sounds like a gossipy little tramp on The View. Mind your own biz bro.

I don't think Trout needs,any help.

These stories could go on for years.

Kevan Smith confirms what Farq has said. They stopped using signals, went verbal and Gattis struck out. Says Angels and Sox did not use tech but there may be another team that was doing the same. He is with the Rays now and has questions for Charlie Morton who was a stro.

Legal gambling is on the rise and cheating will not be tolerated.

The most famous example involves the Chicago White Sox in the 1960s. The following story is related by Jerome Holtzman and George Vass in Baseball, Chicago Style (Bonus Books, 2001): It began ... in 1965 when the Sox were in Detroit for a four-game series. Tommy John was pitching for the Sox and noticed the baseballs had been tampered with. "All the balls I got that day were like cue balls, hard and slick," John recalled. "And the seams were so low, almost nonexistent. When you're a sinkerballer you can't sink the ball without seams." John relayed the information to manager Al Lopez who told him to bring a ball into the dugout after every inning. According to John's recollections, Lopez said, "That's okay. We'll get them when we get back to Comiskey Park." Lopez summoned Gene Bossard, a second-generation groundskeeper who knew all the tricks. Bossard understood what had to be done and began storing boxes of balls in a small, windowless brick-walled room. He installed a humidifier. In two weeks the balls were soaking wet, moist from the humidity. ... In the four-game series at Detroit, the Tigers had hit 13 home runs ... In the ensuing four-game series at Comiskey Park from July 30 through August 2, the Tigers were swinging at the doctored balls. Suddenly, they were shorn of their power. Their longest hit in the entire series was a double.

FYI Gene Bossard and Eddie Stanky were famous cheaters. No need to get righteous.

Imagine the best penalty for a team full of cheaters if MLB had any balls. NO POSTSEASON.
