Screening test the Yankees use for entry level applicants. Actually seems pretty well-designed. Many BJMB posters would ace it. https://reddit.com/r/baseball/s/7fqpUw9WqG

Signing Charlie Blackmon to a 1/13M extension in September is the most Rockies move ever
-
Too much of a pain to flip quickly between games. I've been using MLB.tv for like 15 years.
-
Chapman is going to cost Texas at least one postseason game.
-
Damn, JP Crawford
-
I'm in Ottawa. Try to make it to the Rogers Centre once a year. Really, the biggest death blow was Rogers deciding to black games out on mlb.tv a few years ago.
-
Very unfair. I don't even fake it.
-
I can't imagine how much Manfred wants to fire him
-
I’ve watched maybe 10 jays games this year. They’re probably like my 25th most watched team.
-
Cleaned it up and unlocked.
-
Gunnar Henderson alone might be more valuable than everything Laika moved in that trade combined.
-
The Boston thing is weird. I know a couple people who say the same negative things about Boston (they've never visited the city). I've been there several times, and it's one of my favourite cities. People have always been really friendly, and often at Fenway people will want to chat about hockey when they see my Jays hat.
-
The most Mariners thing possible is for them to pay for JD Martinez's dead cat bounce, have him put of a 95 wRC+, and finish a game out of the last wild card.
-
Imagine being Seattle and having your playoff hopes dashed with your ace on the mound because your bats got dominated by senior citizen.
-
One of these years Soto is going to completely go off and put up a wRC+ of like 180.
-
I don't see Baltimore paying the prospect capital to rent Soto for a year, and I don't see Angelos paying Soto's extension after the comments he's made about their own young core.
-
Yeah, if the directive actually is 200M, Soto is as good as gone. It just doesn't work. But from an ownership perspective, I have no idea how how you spend 630M on Machado and Bogaerts until they're 40 while a year later not having 400M or whatever for a 25-year old Juan Soto. Just a brutal lack of foresight and planning.
-
I think in this case, ownership is more to blame than Preller. You can't greenlight the spending they did, then roll payroll back from 250M to 200M. The only way the spending spree made any sense at all was if they were going to keep throwing money at it. Looking at their 2024 roster now, rolling the same team back - picking up Wacha's option, assuming Lugo opts out, and Soto stays at around 30M in his last arb year. They're over 200M. But that's with Snell, Hader, Lugo, and Sanchez all leaving and nothing replacing them. And a lot of their big deals (Machado, Darvish, Tatis, Cronenworth,) are backloaded, so things are going to get worse.
-
Like, how do you sign that Bogaerts deal, then cut payroll by 20% a year later and likely lose Soto?
-
It’s the financial commitments, not the prospect capital. The Bogaerts, Darvish, Cronenworth, probably Machado deals were unnecessary and the team won’t compete with a 200M payroll with that cash on the books.
-
You could have just said I was right instead of typing this word salad.
-
Feels like just yesterday connorp was telling me the Padres reckless spending was fine because they’ll just keep upping payroll. They’re so f***ed.
-
I think he's basically a slam-dunk for the HoF at this point. He also has a real shot at 3000 hits
-
Bradish is out-WARing Berrios BTW
-
- Gausman is going to project for 1-3 wins more than Rodriguez, with much less downside risk - Berrios and Bradish will project the same - Bassitt probably projects at least a win better than Means, with much less downside risk - Kikuchi and Kremer will project the same Toronto clearly has the better rotation on paper for 2024. But Baltimore also has the means to add an impact arm, while Toronto probably isn't going to do that.
