Yeah, signing Schwarber only makes sense if you are trading Eloy and/or Vaughn for a huge return in the pitching/infield area

I wouldn't prioritize one position over the other. I prioritize getting a LH or SH bat that has a high OBP, above average power, and can play his position well.

So if you just start service time and calculate free agency from signing date, doesn't that incentivize signing older players so you'll have control for more of their peak? Seems like we need a formula that uses signing date as a base but weighs signing age in some way.

But 8-9 could get you in as the 7th seed. Are you really going to give up on the chance to get blown out by one of the Bays in the Wild Card round? I seriously think that's why they're not selling.

I understand the basic concept, but what I don't understand is this: If everybody is creating and selling NFTs, won't most of the devalue?

Jim Harbaugh is the poster boy for a fan/alumni worst nightmare: never going to win a championship, never going to lose enough to get fired

Two good outcomes if the Braves win 1 it might bring increased scrutiny on the mascot and the chop 2 the cheaters lose

Oh, please Oakland hire Ozzie. That would be entertaining beyond belief.

That's OK. If we're going to break the record for most pages about a free agent we didn't get, we probably need to start now.

What I want them to do: Replace Tony LaRussa What they will do: Not that

How does the guy who finishes 3rd in fWAR among 3B in all of MLB not get nominated for SS or GG?

With all the QB's sucking/getting hurt around the league, how is Nick Foles still on the Bears' payroll?

So it kind of evens out. They have to spend more because of Tony's strategic blunders, but they're willing to spend more because that's what Tony wants.

Yeah, but in 2020 all the offseason stuff (Rule 5 draft, free agency, arbitration) had already happened. Would that not require a longer timeframe to get all that in?

Technically its a work stoppage if there's no deal on December 2, but how late can they make a deal and start the season on time? Nobody really cares about work stoppages in December.

Quick--somebody petition the league to change the quarantine period from 7 days to 7 months.

Dylan Cease was robbed.

Braves marketing opportunity: "Braves fans, one thing the Georgia legislature can't stop you from voting for is World Series MVP. Log on to mlb.com/braves to cast your vote now!"

We saw firsthand how excellent infield defense can impact a series. I think people are looking for a way to shove the best 9 hitters they can get into the lineup and ignore the impacts on the defense. Moncada needs to stay at 3rd.

I think a completely new ownership person/group would be the best path forward, but I would give him a chance to see what changes get made.

Yes Nagy should be fired, but I don't have confidence in Pace to pick the right replacement, nor in the team executives to pick the right GM should Pace get fired.

Everybody except Fields and Roquan should be available if the price is right.

Tom Brady must have seen that Bellichick's team put up 54 points earlier.

Tom Brady had 598 touchdown passes while playing college football?
