I did it again

Like any city, you just go to the section where the local police make sure the area is protected for tourism. Typically those areas are nice. Inner harbor of BAL is nice

Imagine if nobody else wants to pay him and he ends up going to Baltimore for like 1/4.

I had heard rumors over the last year but didn’t know about it until now lol
-
I’m saying it’s a signal that you can’t fire me because I quit. Don’t think he would turn down QO. How much will he get? He’s 35 and hasn’t been a league average hitter for years
-
He decided to decline when the Jays let him know they weren’t picking up the option
-
Domingo German isn’t a bad backend SP. That’s the kind of guy SD could get. NY waived him

Does the World Series have a credibility problem?

I like the best teams getting a bye. -

I think the issue becomes when the percentages and teams become where series feel forced. I think 8 teams per league starts pushing it. I know the NBA team just saw an 8 seed get to the finals, but I think it’s been at a rate of 6 out of 60, 1 to 8 matchups. At that point, I’m not sure if it’s too much I think it you play Detroit vs ATL 100 series, probably Detroit wins 3 or 4, but who wants to see it. Idk -
TB almost at very bottom 1.19b SD 1.87b Would be interested to know what it was 5 years ago
-
One could look at TB almost as a failure in the same way SD succeeded. Both had uninterested fans bases. Instead of prospects/analytics, SD bought a team/traded for big names and built interest in their business much better than TB
-
Yeah, you could almost look at it as a startup. Pumping more money into the business than your revenue would otherwise justify, with the goal of boosting your top line revenue to where the big payroll made sense. They’ve made some huge gains, doubling revenue, and coming close to having a lucrative tv deal, so hard to call it dumb. They still have a decent core and have a chance to remain good why they retool a bit. As I said, I give the owner an A for what he’s done to this point. His prospects outside of Tatis the last few years wouldn’t have been game changers/gate draws. If you want to analyze Preller strictly from X and O’s in his baseball moves, it may be a different story, but I’m not sure that’s being completely fair. He’s the GM of a business. Success isn’t always W-L.

I just think the deal is still there in 2025. No need to guarantee it. Not a huge thing really though for LAD
-
I don’t think they had anything to lose just picking up the option. Hit age and skill set isn’t going to be north of $15m in 2025, and there’s always the risk he falls off cliff.
-
They don’t have any bad contracts at this years salary. Tons of surplus value actually. If they spent more than they have coming in and they have bargains for contracts, there’s an issue this early on.
-
Yeah, I read about that. Seemed they had to plan in place to overspend beyond their means to attract a better tv deal, then they go bankrupt (tv people) Still, as I pointed out, their stars are getting $15-20 million dollars a year.. it’s not a payroll out of control for any decent market. SD happens to be a small market in bb though. If they move Soto, they can get a nice return and probably pick up some decent FA on good deals. They do have living in SD as a perk
-
No sense of humor. They erased me? You guys know I’m just having fun with it. I’m eating at the same nerd table as you guys nowadays
-
I thought it was like a Cohen situation where he wanted to trim if he wasn’t winning. Don’t think Cohen would need to do loans against team for liquid cash. Never know with rich people though

Some sort of version of I’ll be good when Wemby is good

Silence the dissenters, Max. -
Apparently I’m not the only guy high on Dylan Beavers. Everyone threw a fit when he was in a trade in September, and he was we called worthless
-
Take my trade, amigo
-
Don’t worry my friend, I have you on a very small list of “the competition”.. I will enjoy our matchups next year
-
His quote was quoting BTS. I’m sorry it’s sometimes more complex than 1+2=3 He led off “pitching was always a problem”… they had a couple good SPs going in. They only had to use a #3 once in the first 2 rounds
-
I am just at a loss why you guys seem to struggle with luck and having increased odds off success being able to co-exist. It’s similar to the NBA lottery. Where certain teams have a 33% chance of winning and others have 3%. It’s like if you can get in with a 5% chance of winning, that’s all you need to do, as it’s just a crap shoot from there
