He'll sign an MLB deal but go to the minors for probably close to a month tops.

Damn. I definitely would have taken this deal over Nova all day.

Definitely makes sense on the Tigers, Royals or Orioles.

Bombder Alonso.

?‍♂️

This is funny. You're citing his WAR being mediocre yet completely tear down Abreu after his 3.8, 2.7, 4.7 WAR seasons.

Agreed. But other than the fact that he's related to Machado, he obviously wouldn't be here. They wouldn't help the Indians clear payroll if there was no Manny connection.

I kinda chuckled when they were talking about Alonso in the first inning being someone who fit due to the need of another left-handed power bat. While true, it's definitely not the main reason ha.

Yeah he looks like one of my friends who didn't grow up playing baseball whenever we go hit. Hint: it's not pretty.

I have a bad feeling Ivan Nova is Spanish for James Shields.

Yep which is why it never really made sense.

Exactly. It wasn't like the Sale, Eaton and Q deals. If he's great, they would basically be paying him at value. Someone laid out the other day comparisons to other stars who went through arbitration year-to-year and it was very close to $100 mill.

Haha! They both have better career numbers against lefties that Alonso so you may be on to something...haha

That would make sense if Beef was left-handed. Edit: just checked Beef's career splits. Yep, he's great against lefties. Grab a first-base glove for one of them and get them both in against lefties.

They keyword being "another."

It's in the "likes" isn't it?

Hes not wrong.

I hope they hammer out a DH in the NL rule before next off-season so it can go into effect in 2020.

Great movie.

Haven't seen this posted anywhere, but AJ Puckett had TJ surgery recently.

I gave than an F for the off-season grade. Not sure how anyone can give them anything higher.

Agreed 100%.

Yeah. Kind of more dumb than funny, though.

Same here. When I'm home during the week after work and I'm not outside or with friends, it'll likely be background noise on my TV when I'm bored.

Same. I haven't watched a single Spring Training highlight yet. That goes for any team.
