  1. I really like this piece. The Tokyo Series was wildly successful and while it will be hard to replicate the intensity of Japanese fans, MLB needs to start tapping into more international markets that love baseball. The Tokyo Series Proves That MLB Needs to Expand Its International Reach - Twins - Twins Daily TWINSDAILY.COM For the second consecutive season, Major League Baseball opened their regular season with an international Opening Day for two clubs. For the second consecutive season, it was a...
  2. A hell of a deal for the Jays. I'm not entirely sure why Kirk would agree to four years being bought out. One or two years to ensure wealth for life, sure, but four is a surprise.
  3. What's the over/under on a successful Scherzer season? 19.5 starts?
  4. I'm moving this thread to the site suggestions. I'm actually considering changing how ads are displayed, specifically on forum pages. It's not *terrible* on desktop but on mobile, I also find them intrusive. I'm going through some stuff right now and not as active as I normally am. I will put it on my list of things to dive into and come up with a better solution.
  5. An interesting piece from one of our writers on Talk Sox. The Tokyo Series played its first game, kicking off the 2025 MLB season. Let's look at how a shared love of baseball has brought together Japan and the United States. Baseball's Effect on Japan-United States Relations - Red Sox - Talk Sox TALKSOX.COM With the Japan Series beginning tomorrow, a look at how baseball has shaped and deepened the ties between Japan and the US.
  6. This is such a fantastic read! And ridiculous! https://blogs.fangraphs.com/plop-it-thirty-poems-about-the-new-era-overlap-hats/
  7. Oh, and quoting you so you see the new thread.
  8. In the case of trading Vladdy, there are two options: 1. Trade him before Opening Day, which feels almost impossible at this point. But the return will be *much* higher because any player who is traded before OD is eligible to receive a Qualifying Offer, which means the team will gain a draft pick in the 2026 draft after Vlad leaves in free agency this offseason. 2. Between OD and July 31, Guerrero is eligible to be traded to any team, though he will not be eligible for the Qualifying Offer.
  9. Cohen definitely inflates the market but I don't think he inflates it that much. But hey, it's possible.
  10. I don't think the market is trending toward those kinds of dollars. Juan Soto is a unicorn. He has cleared an OPS+ of 140 in seven of the eight years he has been in the league. While he's bad defensively, there have never been questions about where he fits defensively or his physical conditioning. Vlad has cleared an OPS+ of 140 just twice in his career. I'm a big supporter of signing Vlad and overpaying for him but I don't think the market is going to come together the way he wants. Teams no longer fall over themselves for slugging first baseman who can't play defense the way they did in the past.
  11. Yes, this. It’s usually shorthand for “no deferrals” or “deferred money in today’s dollars”.
  12. Given the numbers, I also think this came from the organization. It makes the most sense.
  13. I was leaning toward blaming the Jays for not getting this done, now I'm leaning toward blaming Vlad. I knew someone would leak the numbers at some point and if Vlad's sticking point is current-day value versus having some deferred money... c'mon. The two sides aren't far apart. This should get done and everyone move on. It appears the Jays are offering somewhere north of $450m in today's value and $500m in money overall. That's way beyond reasonable for a player with so many obvious questions surrounding him.
  14. You're all spot on, it's Lind.
  15. This is somewhat Twins-focused but a fun throwback to a very good player most of us haven't thought about in quite awhile. Shannon Stewart: A Memorable Outfielder Who Turned Around The Twins' 2003 Season - History - Twins Daily TWINSDAILY.COM In one of the Twin's best trade deadline acquisitions, Shannon Stewart was obtained at the 2003 trade deadline, propelling the Twins to three division titles in four seasons.
  16. Yep, we were able to identify the problem yesterday afternoon, the issue should be resolved now.
  17. Especially if Tucker is asking for seven years and Vlad wants 10+, which very well could end up being the case.
