Incredible Next year I think I'm going to pretend MLB offseason starts the day after NFL conference championship games. The way the past two offseasons have gone, I don't think I'll miss much.

But it's a long shot, more likely Dec. 1 2021, according to the article. He blames advanced analytics that shows long term big money deals aren't worth it. Too many front offices are using purely numbers to determine contracts and they don't look at the intangibles of the players enough.

Exhibit 1 would be $39 million paid to Adam in his mid 30's for past accomplishments with the Cardinals.

Shouldn’t the odds of a lefty having a lefty son be something like 1-3 out of 100? 1/10 x 1/10=1/100 I guess there’s a way to train a switch hitter or make a kid close to ambidextrous, but doubt it’s easy to override the naturally dominant hand. (Yes, I realize the comment was more sarcastic than anything...)

(Yes, I realize the comment was more sarcastic than anything...) My Dad is 100% ambidextrous. You can thank the catholic school system in the 60s for that. Natural lefty, wasn't able to use it in grammar school.

(Yes, I realize the comment was more sarcastic than anything...) Depends on his mom. Righty is the dominant. If his mom is right handed the chances are the kid will be right handed. It's genetics not math unless you count the alleles in his genetic code.

(Yes, I realize the comment was more sarcastic than anything...) Where does the other 1/10 come from? 1/2 chance at a son and 1/10 chance at him being a lefty coming out to 1 in 20, no?

Only guys that are worth getting Yeah Span was still productive last year. He's likely only a corner guy now. They should go with whoever their best defensive CF in-house currently is and then 2 of the above. I think Marwin may be a little too expensive for them though.
