Benetti and Stone can't get away from this mess fast enough...Len Kasper has to be rethinking his move as well at this point. Gordon Beckham with the full time gig over Pods or AJ or basically anyone else will be the absolute lowest point.

At least the suffering is roughly 30 minutes shorter this season. Thanks, Theo Epstein!

They have somehow outdone the Reds and A's for overall ineptitude and oblivious-ness to the mood of the fanbase.

Already better than Sox bullpen lol... just by donning that Rays' jersey. two Ks

93-95 range. All sliders to Abreu lol. At least we don't have to watch the sad final big league years of Jose in a Sox uniform like Konerko. More of a show the fastball get outs with the slider approach now.

Gallo>>>Conforto

Watch Burdi win Comeback Player of the Year... well not that he left much of a big league imprint in the first place.

Twins have a huge opportunity to put some space between themselves and the Guardians...

We're already onto Jaws 3... or The MEG w/ Jason Statham.

Must sign Danny Tartabull...

New Era Cap Co. just being petty here... could have simply designed a similar one. Baseball always trying to find ways to remind everyone let the average fan who picks the game as their favorite sport is a 59 year old. https://www.yahoo.com/news/goodbye-big-hat-braves-told-165753142.html

The emptiest average since the Madrigal Years...

Also has lost 60-75% of his previously projected value, but they still have to fill out a rotation in 2024-25 somehow...

TLR is somewhere with that smug look on his face saying I told you so... that seemed to start with the back and forth with Hahn through media channels over Kimbrel's acquisition/lack of fit on the team.

It's not like they didn't have multiple opportunities to acquire him... just passed, or weren't willing to part with the right pieces. Same with Adam Frazier.

Lambert driven into the ground early season...now what?

They have already fallen from #7/8 to 12/13...I'd even guess low 20's after this season. Ironically... we were right there with the Cubs heading into the year. Once again...efficiency of spending, versus actual dollars allocated, is the key point.

He made one defensive play this year that pretty much saved a game... but you have to send him down and give Remillard an opportunity, Erick Gonzalez, basically ANYONE else.

Buddy Bell thing too...

707 ops/.299 ba vs. .852

How can you keep Lopez when he's going to be a FA?

https://www.al.com/sports/2011/07/hot_corner_ex-baron_gordan_bec.html Hot Corner: Ex-Baron Gordon Beckham should know better Please at least don’t give Beckham the full time job when Benetti leaves…fortunately Getz doesn’t look as bad as Gordon will by today’s political lens.

Greg775? Cheaper than KC even... except for that pesky parking issue.

"Excising the pandemic-suppressed 2020 and '21 seasons, the 2022 A’s accounted for three of the 10 least-attended MLB games since the 1995 strike, and the 2023 A’s already logged a new entry in the “top 15” when 3,035 people showed up to watch a matchup with the Guardians on April 3. The next night, their 3,407-person crowd was topped by 11 Triple-A teams. That was before the relocation news dropped. Fans looking to make a point about Fisher’s poor stewardship of the club had been planning a “reverse boycott” in which they tried to fill the park — necessary since every A’s game looks like a regular boycott. Even if the A’s want to go the route of sticking around for a few more seasons, there’s some agency on the part of the city, which might not be feeling cooperative at this stage." JR would certainly never understand the humor behind a "mock sellout" to get back at him...that would never work. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/whats-next-for-the-oakland-as-as-they-plot-a-move-to-las-vegas-5-big-questions-that-will-shape-their-future-205504586.html

Maddon predicts Ohtani now much more willing to leave West Coast "Ohtani's former manager went on to say that the Japanese-born superstar may be more willing to leave the West Coast than he was when he first came to MLB. "And a part of that, I believe – and I don't have any inside information about this – is that when he first came here he said, pretty much that, he wanted to stay on the West Coast because Japan, it was new to him, everything was new," Maddon added. "I think the guy's been Americanized, he's kind of like captured the hearts of pretty much everybody in this country. I think right now you can go anywhere to play baseball and feel good about it, I do. He's adaptable anywhere right now. That opens up everything. Including Canada, I mean, he'll go anywhere I think now to play baseball. There's gonna be a lotta suitors."
