Does he deserve the cute nickname?

well we don't have Yoendrys anymore, someone has to have it. maybe Bryan Ramos because he keeps 'YoYoing' between AAA and MLB.

I wonder where this puts guys like Giolito.

Heyman: Tyler Mahle's 1-year deal with the Giants is for $10M guaranteed.

MLB needs to do something to get their offseason going, some sort of incentive to signing free agents in the 1st week of FA, with lesser incentives as every week goes by and install a deadline for the players to sign by. I remember tuning into the winter meetings being so excited but has just been a big letdown for awhile now. MLB needs to do something to get the fans tuned in for the offseason.

That would likely require a battle in the CBA, and the players would probably not allow it.

Yeah no way players union would allow that.

Might be worth a waiver claim…

“Astros designated RHP Kaleb Ort for assignment.”

The Oort cloud, sometimes called the Öpik–Oort cloud, is theorized to be a cloud of billions of icy planetesimals surrounding the Sun at distances ranging from 2,000 to 200,000 AU. Its existence was proposed in 1950 by the Dutch astronomer Jan Oort, in whose honor the idea was later named.

I’m not saying they would but damn does the MLB do a good job of losing fan interest in the offseason
