Yeah I don't think he's the sentimental type. He posts a fair amount about the rights of players, etc. The interesting pieces, though, are that he wants to play for a contender and he wants to play for a team with advanced pitching practices. Other than the Dodgers, I'm not sure which teams check that box.

M's had 2 gold glovers. A welcome surprise.

A former M gained one as well. Tyler O'Neill, whom I would have never associated as an elite glove.

Hey Manfred did something right. I was expecting a year long ban or something insanely more vindictive than what the Astros' players got.

Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred says Justin Turner will not be punished for celebrating with teammates on the field after the Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the World Series title last Tuesday, even after he was removed from the game for testing positive for COVID-19.

"Staging a baseball season during the COVID 19 pandemic is an incredibly difficult undertaking and it required significant sacrifices and an enormous amount of work by players, club staff and the Commissioner's Office," Manfred said in a statement Friday.

"We all have made mistakes as we navigated these unprecedented challenges and have tried to learn from those mistakes so they are not repeated. With this in mind, I am closing this matter by applauding Justin for accepting responsibility, apologizing and making a commitment to set a positive example going forward."

Risk a life, banned for life!

In all honesty it was weird that he was out there to me. Maybe he checked with everyone first. I don’t know. I don’t think they suspended anyone all year for it though, so why start then?

Smyly hasn't succumbed to the SOG?!

Mariners' lefty Smyly scratched with 'soggy arm' - Sportspress Northwest

Mariners left-hander Drew Smyly, scheduled to be the team’s No. 4 starter, Wednesday became the first player in franchise history to get scratched from a start due to a “soggy arm.” At least that’s the way manager Scott Servais described Smyly’s condition when he announced that Smyly won’t make...

I'm a fan of names that have some history behind them. Per Wikipedia, these are all the former Cleveland baseball teams:


Cleveland Forest Citys, National Association (1871–1872)
Cleveland Spiders, National League (1879–1884, 1889–1899)
Cleveland Blues, American Association (1887–1888)
Cleveland Infants, Players' League (1890)
Cleveland Bearcats, American Association (1914)
Cleveland Spiders, American Association (1915)
Cleveland Tate Stars, Negro National League (1922)
Cleveland Browns, Negro National League (1924)
Cleveland Elites, Negro National League (1926)
Cleveland Hornets, Negro National League (1927)
Cleveland Tigers, Negro National League (1928)
Cleveland Cubs, Negro National League (1931)
Cleveland Stars, East-West League (1932)
Cleveland Giants, Negro National League (1933)
Cleveland Red Sox, Negro National League (1934)
Cleveland Bears, Negro American League (1939–1940)
Cleveland Buckeyes, Negro American League (1943–1948, 1950)

I think Spiders would be cool.

He seems ok especially at his salary. Hopefully he stays healthy and can pitch deeper into games.

Patino is a real nice prospect. Meija was highly rated but hasn’t panned out yet. I don’t know much about the other two.
