Not sure exactly where to share this, but there had been some chatter about LA's media deal situation and whether/why other teams can/'t just match their spending. The full video is a pretty efficient summary of how they've snowballed into their current superteam state.

Guess we had a scout watching VWL: I would've just kept him.

More Roch hype

A few minutes of Fegan and Keller. A little chat on the new DR complex being a selling point going forward and expanding scouting efforts in Mexico. You do get the impression they've invested more in their international resources when Keller's citing bat speed numbers of a Dominican teenager lol Keller sounds really high on Valdez, 6'4"/200 with 109+ exit velos already and he says he's hit a HR at every in person look.

Cags will (probably) be fine, but the rush by some to crown him as the one that got away while calling Colson a bust is funny in retrospect

Lol

Hello lockout, my old friend...🎶

Come on...

Stiwarts Valdez is a Dominican center fielder who is 6-foot-4, 200 pounds with a standout combination of size, righthanded power and speed. He’s a plus or better runner underway with big bat speed and power for his age. He’s an aggressive hitter who will expand the zone and there isn’t a lot of rhythm to his swing, but it’s potential plus to plus-plus raw power and he has shown the ability to tap into his power against live pitching, making him a potential power/speed threat if everything clicks. Franchel Crisostomo is a Dominican righthander who is 6-foot-2, 165 pounds, a loose, limber build with significant physical upside to add to a fastball that has already been up to 93 mph. He throws his changeup with more frequency than most amateur pitchers his age in the Dominican Republic Yordany Marte, signing for $275,000, had been an outfielder until last year when he converted to pitching. His athleticism shows on the mound and he has a quick arm to run his fastball up to 92 mph, but his best pitch is his curveball, a high-spin pitch with good shape and depth that should collect a lot of whiffs. Dominican shortstop Felix Lebron is a quick-burst athlete at 6 feet, 175 pounds with plus speed, good hands, body control and a plus arm to go with a quick swing from the right side of the plate.

I'm almost certain Smith had one

Scott Boras is deep in talks on his phone at the Bulls game fwiw

Carlson's at #23

Reunites him with Sizemore too, who the Twins also took

For context

Call him Eh-loy
