    Sounds bad. Good thing they kept Happ!

    He's a better asset in terms of surplus value, but not in terms of tempo. By basic surplus value analysis trading an 8 win player who makes $10M with one year of control for 12 one win players making the league minimum with full control might even make sense, even though it defies common sense. One elephant sized chicken would defeat ten thousand chicken sized elephants. Boston just shaved like ~4 marginal projected wins off of their competitive 2020 roster. There is a huge cost to that and it's not captured by basic surplus value analysis. That aside, I agree that the "bad for baseball" takes are largely bellyaching. The superstar went from one rich team to another; collectively baseball is just as good and the owners are paying out just as much salary. It's s***** for Red Sox fans is what it is.

    You never know. Toronto won everything, in part, because the Warriors were banged up. Giannis could twist his ankle in G1 of the ECF. Even with Giannis healthy there is a small chance they could steal a game or two and pull of an upset.

    Fair. The DDL tends to wake from its slumber around groundhog day.

    DDL is to busy setting trends to make a bunch of rinky dink trades. Page me when any of the other 20 team leagues lead the charge on something like Yexit or the move to a true dynasty structure.

    75% of the LOD trades are Gibbers selling his 165 2020 picks for 214 2021 picks

    If he's hitting right handed then the dude has no ass.

    It's very interesting that Toronto turned to Yamaguchi and Rafael Dolis over some of these guys with recent MLB production. How Dolis and Shun perform will say a lot about Toronto's scouting/analytics/projection department.

    The longest tenured Blue Jay is now Zach Stewart. Toronto has hired him as a (not kidding) batting practice pitcher in the player development department. When players want to learn how to really yank the ball, they can practice off the pitcher who had the highest HR/FB in the league during his time! https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=50&type=8&season=2012&month=0&season1=2011&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2011-01-01&enddate=2012-12-31&sort=15,d

    Pretty clear that he does. He tweets like a 52 year old dad.

    Shocking that no Ohtani deal could be reached with the names being thrown around. Senseless. Back to YahoO! Mutiny! Abolish BORED!

    Not even close. Habs is a nickname tied to geographic history and a neat little mistake by a former NHL executive, who thought the H in the logo stood for "habitants" rather than hockey. Buds is a just a dumb f***ing leaf reference that doesn't even make a lot of sense. Maybe it would make sense to call the Marlies the Buds, for obvious reasons.

    Groshans content Jordan Groshans is supremely interesting to me. I have heard rumblings he would be ranked around Kelenic if he had stayed healthy last year. What type of ceiling are we talking about? Kiley McDaniel: A bunch of 55s and 60s and performed better than we expected in first year-plus of pro ball. As an amateur, some people would squint and see a Donaldson starter kit and that–a 4-6 WAR 3B–is still the optimistic outcome. I’d expect 2-3 WAR type until we see a little more performance.

    Robbie Erlin signing a minor league deal with Pittsburgh. Can't understand how he does not get a MLB contract. Do players care less these days about MLB vs MiLB deals, if they have confidence in their abilities, see a good path to playing time, and the contract allows a high enough MLB salary when they are on the roster?

    I like "Kraken" but I don't like how Seattle Kraken sounds. Should have been the Seals or Sockeyes.
