JP will finish out his contract with the M’s and enter free agency as planned. Jerry has a huge man crush on him and will never move him or trade him. But I also think he won’t re-sign him in free agency next year - he will look to backfill from within. JP is fine, but he’s the baseball equivalent o...

I think offensively? We have some work to do to be better than what we had to finish last season. But we are light years better then what we had to start last season. The Pitching staff could be the difference. If Woo continues on the path he was on? If Miller is bouncing back the way we hear? If G...

Some luck with health in our excellent starting rotation and good enough bullpen, and WE – COULD – JUST – BE – THE – TEAM to lose to the Dodgers in the World Series. Life is good. Hahahahaha. Yes. Indeed. I think the Donovan trade was a steal - one of Jerry's better deals. I was worried that we wou...

Happy to see Williamson gone. It was a small sample size, but he didn't look like he was adjusting to MLB pitching. Let's hope Donovan's body holds out - it looks like he's been injury-prone. Dude rakes when he's healthy, and he'll be a solid addition to the IF. As long as he can play a full season,...

I've hardly seen Abrams, but I think SoB liked him also. Will have to look at his numbers, what do you guys like about him? If they're not adding a power guy, I'd still love to see them add Luis Arraez to backup 1B/2B/DH. Ideal leadoff hitter, which weve been sorely lacking the last couple years. T...

I have actually been wrong many times but not this time.

Well, if you were right, I'd agree with you.

So that makes it official. The top 10 FAs signed with 10 different teams and Naylor signed with us. Weird because I am told only 2-3 teams dominate the FA market and that is destroying baseball.

Yes. You're right, D-Train.

You're always right.

Cody Bellinger to the Yankees. Shockingly. https://x.com/JeffPassan/status/2014039399961415912?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet 5 years, $162 MM. This after the Mets acquire CF Luis Robert Jr. from the Chicago White Sox in return for infielder Luisangel Acuña and right-handed pi...

I'm sure everyone is completely bored with talk of salary caps, and everything associated with it. I will cease and desist on this particular rabbit hole, and get back to the offseason topics. But god it's been a boring offseason!! I will end by pasting in an article from The Athletic that is as tim...

I just don't see the relevance of comparing MLB to NFL or MLS or the NBA. It is played in the spring and summer so it barely competes with the NBA and NFL and Soccer is just a blip and a totally different demographic for the most part. Baseball attendance is up about 700% since the 1940s. I think M...
