lmao all you had to do was look at his name to know it's a troll account.

Probably had to do more with the ball than COVID. Other than him looking like he partied too hard the night before at times, I don't think long COVID was the reason Yoan couldn't hit homers last year.

You can look at his BABIP and think he was lucky, but he basically halved his strikeout % from 2020 and made way more contact. In the zone and out of it. There was a ton to like about what Robert did after he came back from his injury.

Robert made meaningful adjustments to his swing that fixed the reasons why he slumped so hard in September of 2020. He's still not anywhere near a finished product at the plate and he probably isn't as good as the numbers indicated after he came back, but I think he's far beyond the struggles he had in late 2020. I still think the biggest obstacle to him becoming Cuban Mike Trout is his health.

I trust Mike Hawk more than this guy. This is the account who thought Kopech for Gallo was fair.

Especially for a guy who had dead arm in the playoffs. Don't get me wrong, Max is great, but paying him $40 million when he's gonna be 41 isn't gonna be fun.

It's the long form of Mike Hawk.

Manaea.

I don't think they'd go this hard if the Matz thing didn't happen the way it did. For Scherzer to sign with the Mets, they must have really outbid everyone else.

I said the Matz thing pissed Cohen off and he was gonna go all-in. If they really land Scherzer I think that counts as all-in.

Ha what about now?

Pretty fair deal. I think Ray will get something similar.

Pirates are gonna get Leury book it.

Semien hit a ton of pull home runs last year and I don't think the size of Globe Life Park will help him. That said the Rangers have hit on long deals with guys over 30 before. Beltre's 5 year deal when he was 31 worked out great for them. He ended up being productive for 8 years for them. He's also a much better player than Semien though.

Yikes this is 2-3 years more than most people thought he'd get. The AAV is fairly reasonable though.

That is a great deal for the Twins, which really sucks for us.

He's gonna need some time, but I just don't think he's that good to begin with. They lost today cause nobody besides DeRozan and Caruso shot the ball well.

If a guy like Neris got 2 years and $17 million, the Sox shouldn't have many issues getting rid of Kimbrel's contract.

I can't help but feel Cohen was pissed about the Matz thing and is going all in.

It's so sad that this is true.

The Mets just got 7 WAR for next year in one day. But it cost them $40+ million in salaries alone. Nevermind having to pay Marte when he's going to be 37 when his deal expires.

Right, but they have 3 outfielders and 2B/3B filled. Their depth chart literally has him as a utility guy right now. But given the Mets' injuries last year, they may try to stack up on depth this year.

Had the Sox gotten Escobar and Marte like the Mets did today, would you have been satisfied?

He's literally got nowhere to play now if Cano comes back as the starting 2B. Nimmo will probably move to right. Marte in center, Canha in left. Escobar will play 3rd or 2nd.

The White Sox and guys that Keith Law hates, match made in heaven.
