Im also alive, not that anyone asked.

I dont know how you guys have done it without a paid sub and keeping up on here. I dropped my when renewal came up because this thread was the only reason i paid and with a recent job change it wasnt financially practical.

I still read here occasionally when moves were happening but this whole site gets more annoying without a paid membership to keep track of stuff and use of the app

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk
I save money by cancelling my account and demanding a refund each time I take a month's ban.

I like to think some guys like Bregman would want to stay with a club that is competitive and keep playing with the guys they have enjoyed such success with enough to take slightly smaller deal to stay home instead of heading somewhere new. But I am sure there are union guys in his ear about how his contract will affect the offers made to other guys and how taking a lower deal will end up costing those guys money in the future. Boras will be making the same argument.

I like Walker but interesting they are willing to go back to the "1B creeping past his prime" well again

It's a MLB deal with Nike. Every three years teams will get new ones.

Except the Yanks, because they're the almighty. And the A's this round, because, what city connection?

I wouldn't say it's rare. Maybe just uncommon. Some recent examples.
Bellinger
Nola
Nimmo
Correa (wild circumstances)
Kershaw (multiple times)
Realmuto
Ozuna
Brantley

https://www.mlb.com/news/marquee-free-agents-who-re-signed-with-previous-teams

This article (Nov. 2023) lists Judge, Nola, Nimmo, Diaz, Correa (lol he didn't exercise his opt-out), Realmuto, Strasburger, Cespedes, Jansen, Turner, and Chris Davis in the last 10 years.

I'm not sure how many of those meet the criteria of shopping around as much as Judge did.

Edit - Farmer is too good at this, but I'm glad he's on our team.

Correa did opt out. Then the Giants & Mets dramas happened.

I take my edit back about being glad.

Edit - but you're right of course.

Speaking of being alive, I am, but is the Astros offense?

I hate that I can't keep up with this thread the way I used to

The fact that he even has to say that for a situation like this...and that probably a sizable chunk of the fans don't believe him when he does is the consequence for all the lies earlier in the season about Tucker, JV, etc. They went to the "slept on it wrong" well too many times, and now they have to issue a statement that it is a routine day off that nobody believes anyway.

Really difficult to expect the Yankees to sweep them in Seattle. Just need to win tonight to keep it at 5.

The tigers and twins are tied for the last wild card spot. Not sure I want to face a hot Tigers team in the AJ revenge series in the wild card round.

Tigers with a team ERA of 2.54 over the last 42. Team WHIP 1.009 over that same period. Over that period, there were only 2 consistent starters. 3/5 games were bullpen days. The entire pitching staff has been lights out. And now with some young position players getting called up or playing well, the offense is approaching average, when they had been abysmal.

26-10 in their last 26.

They are built for short series.

Also Yankees clinched their playoff spot last night so I wasn't surprised to see a hangover performance today vs Seattle
