Around Baseball 2017

[Jimcanuck]

Most guys are linked to someone, and have agreements in place. I'm not sure to what degree that's allowed, but that doesn't seem to be considered a problem. Paying their agents, or paying them under the table, etc IS. Given that the GM resigned near the conclusion of the investigation, I think it's pretty likely they did something blatantly illegal.

 

I know that, just stirring the pot.

 

I bet if the evidence exists, Vladdy would bring it forward. For him to become a free agent at this stage would be ridiculous....

ALDS predictions:

 

Cleveland over New York in 4

Houston over Boston in 4

 

NLDS predictions:

 

Los Angeles over Arizona in 5

Chicago over Washington in 4

He'd also get black balled. That would be a bush league move.

[Dr. Dinger]

Vladdy was linked to the Jays long before he signed

 

Didn't the Jays make some signing pool trades to ensure they would have the most money to offer him?

Yes

 

And knew they'd have less to spend the year after

[Dr. Dinger]

And if Maitan does become a FA, you just know our front office will be all over him. Shatkins have shown a strong willingness to use financial power shrewdly to bring in young talent.

So I understand why Cleveland is pushing Kluber to game 2. But why not open with Carrasco instead of Bauer?

Make sure he actually pitches before he does something stupid to hurt himself.

Home / Road splits? You do not want Bauer facing lefties in New York.

They would still be subject to the bonus pools, no? Most teams have already spent most of their $ so its not like they would be getting $20 Million.

He did just lose his drone, and needs to build a new one again ...

All aboard the hype train!

Too early for such fapworthy baseball porn man

 

Lmao

 

Damn he has STUFF

[P2F]

Holy crap, that horizontal movement on the slider. It came out of his hands like it was going to be a fastball inside (you can see the hitter buckle and then freeze). I'm pretty sure that covered the entirety of home plate somehow.

It'll be interesting to see what happens to the Dbacks, after their coach was caught with an Apple watch during the wildcard game. The commissioner's office made it pretty clear that draft picks could be lost in the future after fining the Red Sox earlier this year, and that was a very big game.

BTS is dumm

[G-Snarls]

Yankees and Red Sox are both f***ed

 

Both down 1-0 in a 5 game series and have to face Keuchel and Kluber with mid rotation starters in game 2

[Rusty_Savage]

Astros/Cleveland should be a classic

[G-Snarls]
