January 24, 20251 yr I was gonna make some lame joke about Vaughn's chase rate, but I've reread that quote too many times and now I don't even know who I am anymore.

I don’t see it happening but if they sign Bregman and somehow manage to re-sign Tucker next offseason, Ricketts might actually win back some Cubs fans. But I think signing Bregman would kill any chances of the Cubs re-signing Tucker next offseason. Edited January 24, 20251 yr by WhiteSox2023

That family bond is what baseball is all about. I would love to host him and his family and follow through with a meet-and-greet with Paul and his teammates, either here in Pittsburgh or when we travel to L.A.” https://www.mlb.com/news/paul-skenes-rookie-debut-patch-card-auctioned-for-charity Edited January 25, 20251 yr by caulfield12

Edited January 28, 20251 yr by caulfield12
January 28, 20251 yr "Listening to Hot Stove on the MLB app this morning where Harold R, Matt V and Jon Lester were debating the various rumors involving Cease and King, when Harold says and I paraphrase, "the only move which could potentially make the Pads better would be to put Tatis on the market and hold onto both Cease and King." His reasoning, "pitching wins championships" and only by moving Tatis would the Pads be able to maintain their pitching for 2025, yet get a return which could also make them better in the long-term." gaslampball.com https://www.gaslampball.com/2025/1/28/24353543/good-morning-san-diego-sheel-seidler-comments-on-the-record The problem here is that Preller's too invested in Tatis as franchise foundational superstar AND there are zero guarantees they can sign Cease/Boras, King or Arraez before FA. The best thing would be to hold on until the trade deadline and then look for takers on Suarez and Cronenworth as well. SD right now fourth best in division behind SFG and AZ as well. Just no getting out from under Bogaerts deal...that's the one killing them performance-wise and also keeping payroll from being cut to below $200 million. Edited January 28, 20251 yr by caulfield12

January 29, 20251 yr 46 minutes ago, Harold's Leg Lift said: The Dodgers signed Yates. Hopefully there's an interesting DFA coming. "The team has reportedly been shopping several players, including reliever Ryan Brasier. That type of move could ease a potential logjam in the bullpen. With Yates, the Dodgers will now have seven veteran relievers with no minor-league options — a potential source of inflexibility for a team that has made a habit of shuttling relievers back and forth from the minors in recent years to ease the workload of its starting rotation." latimes.com/sports Edited January 29, 20251 yr by caulfield12
