    Rays RHP Hunter Bigge just took a hard foul ball to the head while in the Rays dugout. He was down several minutes before being taken off on a stretcher with his neck stabilized. He gave a thumbs up on his way off, which is always reassuring

    A couple years back, the Titans had a former Yanks prospect who was accused of stealing memorabilia from teammates to sell for profit

    Devers would have had his 10/5 rights kick in by the end of next season, as this was his ninth year in Boston. If they wait past next year, and then decide they want to deal him - by then you are looking at a 30+ year old bat only guy making 30M+ who also has the right to veto any destination he doesn't like. In that regard, although the timing did seem a bit surprising - I do see why they would choose to strike now

    Chapman is currently injured, but based on recent history, I'd think they are better off settling Devers into a different role rather than have him fill in anywhere. I'd assume that they aren't too far off from promoting Eldridge at 1B, so I'm guessing Devers is their DH moving forward. If you think of him in the context of a DH/bat only who makes $30M and gets moody about having to field a position when asked - I guess I can see why his trade value might lag behind his name value.

    I'm sure this gives the BoSox boat loads of added flexibility, but maybe they'll find flexibility isn't more valuable than their best hitter

    This is the first that I've come across this "draft and follow" idea, but from what I gather - he was drafted out of HS last year and not signed, but they were still able to retain his rights under this new rule. Now he's signed after his freshman season.

    If I'm honest, I can't say I love this pitching matchup on paper.

    I would have to think the bonus pool money acquired in this deal, should now make us a frontrunner for this kid if he is declared a FA this year

    Catcher - wanted Carson Kelly until he was signed and then wanted to stick with Heineman = double correct Jack Flaherty Austin Hays (139 wRC+) Pete Alonso Although in full disclosure I also had Corbin Burnes in a Blue Jays uniform as my avatar on here so I'm partially full of s***

    Except for all the guys I wanted to sign

    In terms of making Little League style mistakes, that was definitely right up there from Springer. Cannot have a rally killed that way

    Admittedly I was on it for awhile. It's probably a similar dopamine hit to ripping physical packs and collecting but just in digital form. You complete the various sets within given time parameters and then get "rewards" which are usually either an exclusive card of some sort and/or coins needed to buy more packs. Then you can also make user to user trades and complete sets that way. I ended up lucking into some pretty exclusive pulls on there, a Marcelo Mayer 1/25 and Judge 1/35. I actually do see people listing their more exclusive digital Bunt cards like those on eBay, no idea if they actually sell or not. Also have heard of people selling their entire account. The perfect use of the app might be to introduce your youngster to the concept of card collecting, a bit earlier than they'd maybe be ready to take care of physical cards

    I think those Apps are definitely a huge part of it. The Topps Bunt app lets you collect free digital versions of all Topps/Bowman sets (there's also a pay to play type model like all of these apps of course). I'm pretty sure it's helped turn a whole new generation on to ripping packs.

    Well that wasn't fun at all, and then it was

    Yeah less of a moneymaker and more of just a hobby with some potential for pay off - not all that different from sports gambling. I like the first Bowman autographs because they are essentially their first (major) autographed cards after turning pro. If the goal is to get in at the ground floor, I like to collect the card that basically introduced the player to the market.

    Decided to start dabbling in card collecting, but I don't want to be bothered ripping packs and ending up with tons of cards I'll never do anything with. Instead I've decided to try and "buy low" on exclusive 1st Bowman autographs for prospects who seem interesting but haven't gained any name value yet. Started off with Sam Shaw - 20 year old Jays prospect and Canadian kid who is off to a fantastic start at Dunedin. Bought a somewhat exclusive version (299) of his first Bowman auto.
