That makes sense. Thank you for that insight.
Seibu Lions ace Tatsuya Imai was posted and said, "Of course, I’d enjoy playing alongside Ohtani, Yamamoto, and Sasaki, but winning against a team like that and becoming a world champion would be the most valuable thing in my life. If anything, I'd rather take them down."
The contemporary baseball era committee has elected Jeff Kent to the hall of fame.
Barry Bonds, Gary Sheffield, Roger Clemens and Fernando Valenzuela did not receive enough votes to be on the ballot the next time their era is considered, but can be nominated again in a subsequent cycle. However, if they get nominated again but don't receive enough votes a second time, they're done.

White Sox win the draft lottery. Will draft someone you've never heard of. Or if he's a Boras client, they'll draft someone else you've never heard of. The Rockies pick 10th. Even though they were the worst team, rules say you can't be in the lottery three straight years. The Nationals and Angels were also not eligible because "payor clubs" (teams that give in revenue sharing rather than receive) can't be in the lottery two straight years. So after they both suck next year, they will be back in the lottery.
The Angels settled with the Skaggs family after learning the jury likely wouldn't be favorable toward the team with the types of questions they were asking. It's a confidential settlement so we'll probably never know. The family was seeking $118 million.
