2019 MLB Season Thread [ARCHIVED] Baseball • Page 282

I guess it's mandatory that every contract has to have an opt out now lol

 

Now that Darvish and JDM signed, who are the big FAs still out there? All I can think of is Arrieta.

 

Moustakas, maybe?

 

Arrieta, Moustakas, and Cobb are the big ones left, if you consider Moose and Cobb big FAs. Greg Holland, Lance Lynn, and Jonathan Lucroy are still FAs as well.

 

Joe Maddon had some paintings commissioned

Here's an article about it from The Athletic. Hopefully this link works and isn't behind a paywall - https://theathletic.com/241566?shared_by=63040

 

Lance the goat

 

the ringer generally sucks but when they hit they really hit, this article rules

The Sabermetric Movement’s Forgotten Foremother

 

wow its almost like ben lindbergh is good

 

if only the ringer could be 10 ben lindberghs

 

if only indeed

 

Lindbergh is the absolute best, excited to read the article!

 

Archer gotta be next, right?

 

God I hope to Milwaukee

 

Fuck the Rays right now, my god. I’m too pissed to even look at who these prospects are at the moment and find out if I should even be somewhat hopeful with their return.

 

I think the rays actually won a trade for once

 

My love for Souza and Kiermaier sharing an outfield is overwhelming any pragmatic thinking. Idk how I’ll feel later, but after the recent moves this just feels like more of the same shit.

 

Well, I understand your sentimentality and that the rays fan base is particularly vulnerable right now. I do think you will like what they got if you stick around long enough but that's just my opinion.

 

Did the Rays get anything from Arizona? Or just the two prospects from NYY?

 

From what I saw, 1 yankee and 3 dbacks

Not sure if I consider Banda a prospect since he played last year but was sent down after a really bad game against the nats. They also got 2 PTBNL from the dbacks if I read that correctly.

 

Meanwhile the Mets have Tebow

 

I started browsing a baseball card hobby forum and there was a thread about Tebow and nearly everyone was like "yeah, him playing and potentially being in the majors is a good idea, I don't get the hate on Tebow. He's a good guy!" And someone said something about how at least his kneeling in the NFL wasn't disrespectful and that's when I noped out of there

That's when I realized what a wild and different community it was

 

Did Corey Dickerson get traded or are they just going to waive an all star player just so they don't have to pay him in a few days? I'm going with the latter
