Around Baseball 2021

Why?

 

Greed

[Jays24]

Clearly not much value was assigned to Renfroe. Milwaukee is essentially selling 2 mediocre prospects for 9.5 million.

 

Renfroe was so damn good for them while Bradley sucked balls and makes more money. All for 2 average prospects? There has to be a lot of cash going to Boston too right?

Outfielder Hunter Renfroe has been traded from the Boston Red Sox to the Milwaukee Brewers, sources tell ESPN.

 

That deal makes no sense. Renfroe was great for Boston last year. Bradley Jr. was terrible. $$$ must be involved.

Seems to make the BoSox worse, so I think it's a great trade!

Until JBJ comes out and has a miraculous season for them like Renfroe did

[Grant77]

I didn't even notice the buyout on Bradley Jr's contract.

 

That comes out to 17.5 million and a useful outfielder for the two prospects.

 

Would you give up Samad Taylor and Leo Jiminez (better prospects than what the Brewers gave) for enough money to sign Carlos Rodon and a useful position player? I sure would.

The douchebaggery continues unabated

And I am now following Manoah on Twitter

I’m not a Bauer fan but that’s objectively funny…to me at least

Bwahahahaha... he truly is the GOAT at trolling.

The Mets don't have a single left handed pitcher on their 26 man roster

At the risk of looking dumb I honestly don't get it. I get why players are using the silhouette as a profile pic. I get that Bauer's has his logo all over it. I don't get what's funny here though

He can't be fined in a lockout bro.

I see. I guess I was reading too much into the picture

Good thing Harper, Soto and Freeman aren't in their division

Freeman maybe not lol. But there’s also big time slugger Joey Wendle now

Another ballot that makes absolutely no sense.

Another ballot that makes absolutely no sense.

 

 

He obviously doesn't care about PED use if he placed Bonds on his ballot, but why in the world has he not selected Clemens and A-Rod? All three were world class *******s who lied through their teeth about their steroid usage so it's hard to justify some sort of morality clause.

Yeah, I’m assuming that’s what he’ll be explaining

[connorp]

Did Clemens get caught? Don’t think he did. You could say A-Rod is a confirmed cheat and put him in a different category. Same with Manny

[Stangstag]

Definitely doesn’t care about morality if he chose Shilling... I don’t understand these guys. How do they defend these insane ballots?

[Stangstag]

[max silver]

I looked through the twitter thread a little and it seems that he says since Bonds was on a likely hall of fame track before beginning PED usage he was easier to justify including here.

[Stangstag]

These guys really are just making up their own looney tunes rules about what’s allowed and what isn’t

So now we’re voting on speculative steroid use. Ridiculous

[BTS]

How do these guys justify leaving Billy Wagner off while not using their maximum amount of votes? You might as well just not let relievers in if the current threshold is that nobody with a lesser resume than Rivera or Hoffman deserves to be in.

 

The only current potential HoF relievers that have been around long enough that it makes sense to compare them to Wagner are Jansen, Kimbrel, and Chapman. And all of them will need a few more good seasons to be on Wagner's level.

[John_Havok]

Yup, It's fascinating to watch the mental gymnastics every year to justify "X thought process" for this guy and completely ignoring it for other guys.

[connorp]

Where is the arbitrary steroid starting point for Clemens in his mind? Toronto? By then I think he was on his way to the HOF pretty easy

[G-Snarls]

That's just it

 

ARod and Clemens are easy Hall of Famers by the numbers.

 

How can you say only Bonds get in of the 3?
