Would be a shocker if Yamamoto hasn't passed by Harper the last calendar year. otoh Imai's whining might get Daikin Park renamed in Houston...and Okamoto hasn't done much for Toronto yet.

Ohtani $100-125 million extra to Dodgers corporate/sponsorships/marketing tie ins $90-100 million in personal endorsements Bryce Harper +/- $10 million

Harris got screwed when Getz stuck with Acuna among others…Tristan Peters as well. doesn’t seem to get there’s no extra credit for acquiring a player via trade, especially when/if they suck

Sato to play 3B/RF

Or they move on W.Smith one year early rather than holding him too long that said Muncy has been one of the most important hitters despite advancing age at third base Freeman older too but they want to trade 1B Ward who is the Murakami of that team but superfluous

E.Jimenez 2 for 3/Sosa key right sac fly sought by manager Schneider for his "contact ability" lol

Might as well throw in Dominguez Hicks Quero Vargas Kay D.Martin Murakami G.Taylor... lol

j.duran wrong timeline Jefferson Rojas cubs convert from SS to OF??? N.Marte maybe/timeline again Jeison Chourio Sox great luck with extended family/relatives Jorge Solar way too old for Sox D.Canzone have to take someone/anyone, Italian connection with Antonacci?

Chicago White SoxTrade candidate: Erick Fedde (FA) Likely need: Prospects Despite playing in the AL Central, the White Sox already seem like one of the few teams we can confidently identify as looking to trade away major leaguers at the deadline. That leads us to the pending free agents, including Fedde, lefty reliever Sean Newcomb, backup catcher Reese McGuire and outfielder Austin Hays ($8 million mutual option for 2027). None projects to have particularly high trade value, although Fedde received a lot of trade interest in 2024, when the White Sox sent him to the Cardinals in a three-way deal with the Dodgers that netted Miguel Vargas https://global.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/48505776/mlb-2026-early-trade-deadline-preview-all-30-teams

dalton rushing catcher with lad must have record for most Homers to start a season in the fewest at bats especially when you consider only 4 last year in more or less 150 pa's

Basallo with game of his life Erceg as soon as added to fantasy team blows two strike two outs save ofc foster in third big league game will be trying to get save eight kc walks looks like Sox pen

Or a heavily deferred deal like Ohtani's

They don't get a slice of the Japanese tv market as its currently indirect and shared. Don't have the naming rights or Jersey patch to offer. The two year term limit on his deal will limit any long term corporate/sponsorship commitments. The main effect has been young position players getting locked down, but the 1-1 pick and Murakami, maybe Teel or Colson, are pretty much the only candidates. Braden and or Bonemer would be next.

RS/RA combined with winning percentages NL Central +79 NL West +44 AL West -22 AL East -28 NL East -29 AL Central -44

Fired yet?

Sasaki might be going back to the pen as a starter his straightish 96-98 mph fb has gotten absolutely clobbered

https://www.sportico.com/leagues/baseball/2026/san-diego-padres-sale-business-revenue-1234890606/ Because all those teams outside the top 10-12 rsn values are going to end up splitting the shared pool thirty ways instead of SD at $30 million and the Dodgers at $334 or whatever accounting figure they're utilizing... If you run your team well and invest into that product, you can still generate massive returns that outpace the S&P 500 index while joining an exclusive club that confers status/esteem that just having $$$ doesn't. fwiw LAA will get a massive bump with a new stadium. Nationals and Twins are trickier...shared market with Baltimore and the Twins in flyover territory with RSN issues as well as a tremendously frustrated/disenchanted fanbase. But 15th in power rankings today much better than the 25ish rank most expected on August 1st, 2025.

Even as the mall economy transitions in the 30th largest market in MLB, there’s still the oportunity for massive profits if owners invest well into their products. obviously losing NBA and NFL franchises also helped a lot too

https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/padres-3-9b-sale-insane-115125269.html The deal sent shockwaves throughout baseball. “That’s insane,” one executive said. “I’m floored,’” said one owner. “The math makes no sense,” said another. “Most people in financial circles felt the value was worth $2.5 billion," another owner said, “at the most." When you consider the franchise was considered to be worth $1.9 billion in 2025 by Forbes, and that Shohei Ohtani didn’t suddenly put on a Padres uniform, the real stars of their record sale may have been the Padres’ investment bankers. Whether it is stupid money, or it turns out to be a shrewd investment, only time will tell. Yet, in the meantime, that stagging $3.9 billion just put a sledgehammer to the argument that the game isn’t prospering and needs an overhaul in the next collective bargaining agreement. “I’m just glad," one executive said, “that I don’t have to be the guy to explain to the players association why this sale won’t matter in negotiations.” Will the sale diminish MLB’s argument for a salary cap? “How can it not?" one owner said. Nationals Twins up next…

29. White Sox (previously: 29) Munetaka Murakami has been as advertised for the White Sox: He doesn’t hit the ball that often, but when he does, he blows you away. His first grand slam, his sixth homer in his first 20 games, on Friday night left jaws dropped. “That,” manager Will Venable said, “was majestic.” 30. Rockies (previously: 28) It will be a decade this June since Mickey Moniak was drafted first overall by the Phillies in 2016 MLB Draft (in what has turned out to be kind of a disappointing Draft). After bombing out of Philly and a quick stop in Anaheim, he has found a place in Denver: He’s slugging .655 with a .960 OPS. It was a long journey, but he finally will hit arbitration next year, 11 years after being drafted.

Thornton lefty 3/4 delivery and 96-98 his usual velo band
