Around Baseball 2022

[Terminator]

Yeah I like the Tigers too. In addition to all of the offseason moves they were actually pretty decent in the second half last year. Could def see them winning that division.

[Laika]

Tigers lineup still sucks. Schoop, Candelario, Barnhart, Miggy, Grossman, Baddoo, Baez, Torkelson, Meadows? A bunch of those guys aren't that good. And you just know two of Mize, Skubal, Manning will suck or get hurt.

Yeah that's pretty fair. I don't love them but I think they have amassed a nice collection of average players across the board, some of which have some decent upside. In that division that might be good enough. But it could also blow up in their face.

[connorp]

They should add Greg Bird

[L54]

Who is better Greg Bird or Miguel Cabrera?

Maybe they're acquiring some assets that can be flipped at the deadline. It's a reasonable way to build.

Pretty much what I think too. It's just very average. Not good but not terrible. They will need some health luck and prospect breakouts to contend. Skubal has looked good this spring with 21K and 3BB in 13.2 IP. Probably not a playoff team this year but there is a path to them contending soon if things break right. Expanded playoffs will help too.

SOURCE: The #Padres are showing a lot of interest in making a trade with the #Guardians to get star 3B Jose Ramirez before the Opening Day's deadline.

 

@z101digital @ZDeportes

 

Manny back to SS?? Or do they plan to run Ramirez at 2B… until Tatis is back that is

[Jimcanuck]

Calling it, the Padres are going to waste one of the best collection of prospects ever and not win a WS

They have been terrible at MLB roster assembly. And terrible with money. It's hilarious really.

T Mobile tuesdays has free MLB.tv for its users, but you don't have to be a T-mobile customer (or based in the US to use it)

 

T Mobile users sell their code for $5 on slickdeals in exchange for amazon gift card, which would be about in $8 CAD.

 

I've been doing this for several years - who wouldn't want MLB. TV for a full year for $8?

You're doing gods work my friend, can't wait to drink Michael Kay's tears when the Jays tear up some Yankee ass.

2 games Ppd tomorrow... BOS/NYY... SEA/MIN... maybe the Nats game too.

Ramirez needs to fire his agent.

[HERPDERP]

thats a bad deal for Jram. Kind of weird too after his agent tweeted "LOL" a few days ago

[Stangstag]

 

Lol wtf???

[glory]

Ramirez must really like playing in Cleveland.

[saskjayfan]

To be fair, I'm sure his agent said, don't take that deal, don't take that deal! A crazy injury can happen at any time and he had 2 years before free agency. You have to present the offers. It's entirely possible Ramirez liked Cleveland and 124 million dollars is still 124 million dollars. It's kind of refreshing to see an elite athlete not force his way out of a small market and take a home town discount.

[Sammy225]

I mean it has been widely said that JRam wants to be in Cleveland and to stay there he would have to take a contract like this. Cleveland is known for not giving out these big contracts.

[Krylian]

Ramirez must really like playing in Cleveland.

 

They've got pictures of him f***ing a donkey. No other explanation.

[Spanky__99]

 

Wow...

[Ehjays]

Hopefully Vladdy and Bo like Toronto as much as JRam does Cleveland. Thats a sweet deal for Cleveland.

[Jays24]

And the JRam dream is officially over. Surprised he took a discount to stay with a team not on a cusp of the world series.

I hear you on that, but that's leaving at least 75M on the table. Egregious, Cleveland are slime.

The rumours will follow him for years, he's worth large value now.

[BTS]

This is Acuna/Albies level bad.

I think his 10-5 rights kick in this offseason

[King]

This is Acuna/Albies level bad.

His first contract was somehow even worse. 6/36 from 2017-22 with a 2023 club option.

 

So, he will finish his age 34 or 35 season with $186 million in career earnings. How much money has he left on the table as a 3-time 6+ fWAR player? 300+ million?

Aye.

It's mind blowing, they don't treat him well, and he's bending over again. Crazy!
