It's hilarious to me the amount of people on Twitter who are assessing this from the Tatis side of "I dunno, he is risking potentially selling himself short by $100M or so by taking this deal so early" and not from the inordinately obvious side of the amount of risk the Padres are taking on by giving $300M to an young kid who hasn't even played a full season yet and has already sustained multiple injuries. The risk is HEAVILY on the side of the Padres here, not Tatis, who at minimum now has $340M if his career ended tomorrow.

Yes, because that's exactly what I said. Excellent reading comprehension.

What a joke of a punishment. They don't even lose a pick, they just get the 40th pick instead of the 30th pick? Lol

He turned down an extension offer? Why was he even given an extension offer?

God I hope this is over and he actually goes to the Mets. Never wanted any part of that clown.

I would love to be in a situation to eventually replace my wife's Hyundai Elantra with a Model Y, but with us planning on getting pregnant this summer, I don't really know how much I should be budgeting for a child. But either way, we both have sedans and we already have a dog, so something might have to give because the dog and a car seat in the back seat at the same time may prove difficult.

My first car was a 1995 Honda Civic. I owned it from December 2006 until February 2011; 5 years. Then I was forced to sell that car (which I loved) and got a 2004 Mitsubishi Galant from February 2011 until September 2019; 8 1/2 years. And then I got my dream car, my Tesla, in June of 2019, and I've had that for about 20 months.

Bauer and Mickey Callaway didn't get along huh? What if I were to tell you the Angels found a way to get rid of Mickey Callaway....

I'm talking about the timing of it being curious, less than 2 months after he takes down an entire sports organization and while he's receiving death threats.

And did those allegations come AFTER he whistleblew on the Astros for cheating? Would be curious timing for a rumor like that, eh?

I meant they robbed other teams and fans of Arenado being available in Free Agency.

Fuck the Rockies. They paid 1 year of a 7 year contract extension that the had no intention of ever paying. They robbed baseball of the chance of Arenado on the open market so they could pay $50M for 5 prospects and sell a shit load of jerseys and tickets for 1 more year. This is bad for the sport.

We missed out on a platoon player. Oh well. ?

Etrade just allowed me to buy more stock of NOK at $4.88

Slick deal by the Mets. Matz was their version of Reynaldo Lopez, except that Lopez has actually had a slightly better career so far.

I had placed an order for AMC back in May when the stock was under $5. The order had an error and didn't go through and then I forgot about it. My $100 would have been $560. Damn. So instead I just threw $100 at $NKO. I'm really to be hurt.

What is EOM?

Why squash the rumor? If this is actually true, why do your rival a favor by telling them they aren't bidding against anyone else? Fuck it, let the Twins get scared and improve their offer. Absolutely no motivation for Jerry to tell Bob to do this unless he's really THAT worried about fans being upset if he goes to Minnesota and his ego doesn't want people to think he got outbid.

Yes I have sources, but no I have not heard anything about Joc. I just saw his name pop up recently and was trying to remember where he signed and then I realized he still hasn't signed.

Did we all forget that Joc Pederson is still a Free Agent? I haven't seen anyone mention his name in months.

I would gladly take Taillon.

He debuted 2 years after Tony left, but could have crossed paths as well.

Did anyone go back and find the tweets from one of the food accounts that said Richards was a guarantee signing and he would stake his name on the Sox getting him?

So Wainwright, Yadi, and what other former La Russa players are out there for us? Trevor Rosenthal debuted for the Cardinals 1 year after Tony left, but he was drafted by them and certainly interacted with Tony. There are 3 holes filled right there.

Half the reason I want Cruz is just to keep him away from the Twins. I'm a big Andrew Vaughn guy, but if we can sign Cruz to a 1 year deal with an option, similar to the EE deal, then I'm totally good with being worried about having too many good hitters in June when Vaughn comes up.
