Money we could have just given to Manny. Their commitments alone this year are almost half of Manny's AAV.

I can't believe we got fucked over by Preller twice in 3 years.

Unless the numbers on this deal are insane, this is an absolutely massive failure on the part of the FO.

lol if I were them, I'd try to get out. Jesus christ what a mess.

Talk about a punch to the gut.

Getting Amazon to come to your city is great if your town doesn't already have terrible traffic and incredibly inflated property values. That's the issue with trying to go to NYC. People don't want their rent increased or their commute times lengthened. Because their rent is already high and their traffic is already awful. There was a similar sentiment here in Austin. Our property values are already inflated (compared to the rest of Texas) and our traffic already sucks. Now imagine outside investors pouring money into the real estate market and adding 20,000 more cars on the road. It would suck. Yes it's better for the jobs market, but I don't think that's a very big issue here in Austin (or NYC).

Less than 700 posts until 20k posts. Does Manny sign by then?

Robs us of Fernando Tatis Jr. and then makes us pay more for Manny a few years later. I think I hate the Padres now.

The amount of rage from this site if we get outbid by the Padres is going to be insane.

I'm not saying he's not legit. But the way he answers certain questions and his posting style in general seems very bot-like.

At this point Hector Gomez just seems like a bot that latches onto any Machado stories and says "Very interesting" or something along those lines.

Hahn has come out in the past and insisted we can't land both. I'd rather trust him than some randoms on Twitter with 500 followers.

That guy kinda looks like Travis Kelce

Soxtalk crashed for me momentarily and I thought shit was going down.

Yup he's getting confirmed.

Welp he's getting confirmed. Supreme court is gonna be fucked for who knows how long. Good to know the investigation was a total sham. There should have never been any limits on who they can talk to. You can limit it in time (that's fine), but to limit it to exactly what can be investigated is a sham.

Ayyyy don't gotta watch the playoffs to root against the Cubs this year. More free time for me!

I'm somewhat hoping the Dodgers lose today so they can beat the Cubs tomorrow.

A few feet in front of the warning track.

What a month for Milwaukee. 5 games back a few weeks ago to the best record in the NL. Yelich and Cain totally transformed that team.

If Rizzo didn't choke up that ball's probably gone

I haven't watched any of his starts, but his stats on paper look great. Increased velocity, very high GB%, good K/BB ratio. He'll eventually give up some homers, but his peripherals are very encouraging.

Holy Matt Davidson

Moncada just missed it

3 RBI single. You don't see that a lot
