I've only been to the DR for a week vacation, but on those few occasions we left the resort it wasn't hart to see that "road safety" wasn't much of a priority there...

 

Yeah, Ang mentioned some of there roads are almost undrivable or need a proper terrain vehicle.

I apologize, sarcasm doesn't translate well over text and I lose track of who the Rays **********s are

 

Boxy - if you're making a list, you can add me to it. The Rays make my hungry mouth water.

Stroman running his mouth again. Man am I ever glad we traded him.

Clicked the story hoping for something juicy. Was very disappointed.

 

"This man had the audacity to say that I compete a certain way and people don’t like it. Very comical in hindsight. Lol"

 

That amounts to "running his mouth"? Boring.

What did he say that was wrong? Cora questioned how Stroman plays the game, and we later find out Cora has been cheating in two different orgs. Stroman is 100% right here. Maybe being petty by throwing dirt on someone who is about to get buried by MLB, but right nontheless.

I though it was going to be about him crawling around with a glass of wine balanced on his back

 

Cause that happened and Kevin Pillar poked fun at it

And Cora get's fired as expected. Would hope he also gets a suspension which may actually have a residual effect.

The 5th year option is only worth $8M?

 

Passan and others have worded it the same way, so it does sound like the option is for $8m, but no one has outright said that. Donaldson will be in his age 38 season if that option is picked up, he'll pretty likely be washed at that point, so maybe that's why the option is so low.

Clarification on the option by Passan:

 

 

So it's 4/84 with a $16m team option in year 5 or a $8m buyout.

 

That makes more sense.

Yikes, could go bad fast. Wouldn't be surprised if JD is M.I.A. for a good chunk of the deal.

Yeah that’s a solid deal for Donaldson. It’s like the back half of a mega contract that a star might get at 28/29.

LOL at the hoopla over Stroman. Almost every person would take that layup. But just the simple fact it's Stroman makes him look like a petty douche. Must be racism or heightism.

Twinkies SP still weak. Homer Bailey is SP3 and Randy Dobnak SP4?

 

Great team otherwise.

 

How is that weak? They have two surefire aces in Berrios and Odorizzi, Bailey and Dobnak are good SP2s. Then they will get a boost with another elite pitcher in Rich Hill coming back for July. Seems pretty good to me. The Twins will win 100 games this year.

You're forgetting Pineda, too.
