Around Baseball 2023

[Brownie19]

Braves signed RHP Reynaldo López, who had been with the Guardians, to a three-year, $30 million contract with a club option for 2024.

 

Even though he’s had some consistency issues and has little experience closing, López, 29, was considered one of the top handful of relievers available. He had a 3.27 ERA and an 83/34 K/BB ratio in 66 innings with the White Sox, Angels and Guardians last season. He’s set to make $4 million next season and $11 million in 2025 and ’26. He’ll get either $8 million or a $4 million buyout in 2027.

 

I think I prefer Chad Green over Lopez.

He was hot garbage last year. Good for him to land a deal though.

AA gets the benefit of the doubt in anything now. For 3 or 4 years until he’s like the Raptors guy,

you are giving a guy with bitch tits the benefit of the doubt?

 

 

[MikeM3]

AA is guaranteeing a ton of money to RPs who appear to have another level but can't get there. We'll see if it works out

Looks like the typical White Privilege Ivy League baseball exec to me

That's some puffy nips.

MLBN reporting the Dodgers interested in signing Ohtani AND acquiring Trout via trade. lol

2 best players in baseball, that would probably lock them into a world series. Kershaw coming back 2

Boohoo Max - whiney little bitch he's become. Viewership was up big time last year, there's no going back. Adapt or die Max. Maybe pitchers won't be able to throw every pitch at 100% effort anymore?

Yeah I saw something about that. That would be incredible.

[connorp]

I see Dodgers landing Cease for sure. Spare parts

[Captain_Obvious]

 

Because we know one year of data is sufficient. I bet all the previous year-to-year data points looked like a flat line.......

Kershaw will always comeback until his numbers decline.

Thanks Morosi

And how many injuries did each actually see.

[glory]

Ohtani to the Dodgers is realistic/likely, but no way Moreno allows Trout to be traded to the Dodgers. I don't think Trout will be moved, but if he is, then it has Dave Dombrowski written all over it, and the location would make sense as well.

Thanks Morosi

 

It's not rocket science, f***in' idjit.

You’re just talking out of your ass. Maybe he goes out if he’s good and they win the WS. You don’t know sheet, mate. Go count the imaginary birds with the new guy

Nah. While you were incarcerated, Trout dropped from the best player in baseball to somewhere in the latter half of top 50.

Latter half as in 26 maybe.

Was going to post this. Maybe don't use max velo fastballs all the time and 40% slider usage at max velo.
