This could get away from them in the first 4-6 weeks with that schedule.

Robert great AB vs Skenes. Walk. lots of foul balls…started down 0-2 Almost passed lead runner he was running so fast

So your advice to JR/Ishbia is…?

Honestly, being the 29th or 28th best team in baseball after 2 1/2 years of rebuilding is hardly some great accomplishment for one to hang their hat on. Maybe, just maybe they’re less screwed up than the Nationals or Rockies under DePodesta. That won’t sell many tickets, though.

Pitched in WBC for Canada…with the Rangers’ organization as of now.

Royals’ Way doesn’t translate well to GRF.

Tyler Flowers a decent example. Zach Collins, Real Estate agent Kurt Brown over Barry Bonds etc. Actually drafted AJ Hinch, couldn’t sign him

"And Posey decided to go with new additions rather than known quantities to round out the Giants’ bullpen, selecting righty Caleb Kilian and lefty Ryan Borucki over Spencer Bivens and Tristan Beck, who both spent much of 2025 with the big-league club." nypost.com/sports

from sbnation The Humphrey Bogart tier30. Colorado Rockies 29. Chicago White Sox 28. Washington Nationals 27. Los Angeles Angels 26. Miami Marlins 25. St. Louis Cardinals Baseball’s rich history offers many memorable quotes. We begin our look at all 30 teams with one from Humphrey Bogart, the legendary actor who had this to say about the game. Or, at least attending a game. “A hotdog at the ballgame beats roast beef at the Ritz.” It might be a long season for these six teams, but still, their fans will get to sit in the sun and enjoy those dogs, at least a few times this season. 19. Cleveland Guardians 18. San Francisco Giants 17. Kansas City Royals 16. Cincinnati Reds 15. San Diego Padres 14. Texas Rangers 13. Houston Astros 12. Baltimore Orioles 11. Detroit Tigers 10. Milwaukee Brewers Twins 24th btw

Is he still a good influence on young players, though? At the end of the 2024 season, definitely. But surely he'd rather be almost anywhere else the next two seasons.

How much would he even get (as of today) as a FA on a one year deal? Like a house that homeowners in 07-09 just dumped the keys in the mail box and walked away from. Way underwater.

Just feels weird to have Opening Night only available on Netflix. Even Canadians can get the feed on Sportsnet.ca.

Yankees have Spencer Jones and Jasson Dominguez in AAA. Dodgers have loaded All Star outfields in AA/AAA. No place for any of them to play. Meanwhile, Sox have biggest MAYBE in Braden for the next two seasons, unless Bonemer and Antonacci are suddenly corner outfielders.

Trade Benintendi for Yoshida and cash to balance it out. Then they can leverage that for more Japanese market media coverage and at least $10-15 million in sponsorships. Both Japanese players would feel more wanted here, as would Beni back with Boston.

Not even DePodesta’s going in that so-called direction after a decade in the NFL.

McGonigle the #2 prospect in baseball…and Clark’s at least a half season away at least. https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/mlb-opening-day-2026-how-different-are-all-30-teams-compared-to-last-season-222142839.html Tigers actually lead all of baseball in % of plate appearances and IP returning. See link above. Detroit offense was much better than most think, with Greene-Carpenter-Torkelson at its heart. Lots of versatility there as well. Voted for just below the median at 64-65-66. Pitching staff (starters) is certainly going to take their lumps.

Vargas is one of the few positions NOT in the bottom ten across mlb…but just barely. “Luisangel Acuña quickly locked up center with his impressive athleticism and excellent showing at the plate. However, with some less-than-stellar results in his previous big league stints, the leash could be relatively short. This would feel even more like the case if Brooks Baldwin is added back into the mix upon his return from the 10-day IL. Baldwin had a very solid spring and offers some valuable defensive versatility. Having said that, Derek Hill checks a very similar box and may currently have as much of Venable's trust. Even Tristan Peters has some high upside defensive chops that he paired with some solid plate appearances in camp.” Si.com Peters is already 26 and has subpar exit velocity. Just don’t get it as Peters Hill Baldwin all bring somewhat similar profiles….unless Baldwin’s suddenly more than a 12-15 homer power hitter.

Or CLE…or KC, but look no further than the Central for bad.

Romo playing in 6-10 games would cost them how many wins? 1/2 a game of fWAR at most? just not sure it’s worth a premium…as well as dumping a much younger guy with two vital carrying tools.

Position by position, White Sox still lack juice in power...While the White Sox have yet to unveil their Opening Day roster, the overall shape of the season is less contingent on the exact selection of players they send to Milwaukee on Thursday, and more relia most controversial Catcher #26 SS #21 Bullpen #13 Feels closer/more accurate… 2B 20 3B 19 1B 18 LF 30 CF 29 RF 28 DH 28 that seems low, but maybe not Hays should be better, Tauchman quite solid in RF-DH role last year starting pitching #29

This knowledge was in every scouting report on Lee at the time of his acquisition from HOU. “Lee didn't become a full-time catcher until 2019 and has yet to start more than 73 games behind the plate in a pro season. While he's quicker and more athletic than most backstops and features plus-plus arm strength, his receiving and blocking skills draw mixed reviews. He has done a better job in 2023 and the consensus is that he's an average defender.” lol @ Reddit “Space Cowboys fan - Ceiling would be higher than Wilson Contreras, but Lee is a pure upside prospect. His plate discipline is atrocious right now and he’ll never be anything if he can’t get that fixed.” Statcast defensive numbers were all negative.

The Giolito arb hearing over $25 or $50000 or whatever it amounted to was ridiculous as well…all vengeance simply because of players’ union related activities.

Ncorgbl is still alive? Didn’t colsat46 pass away some time ago?
