    The Cubs arguably have one of the best assets in the market, in that Tepera-Chafin-Kimbrel is basically "bullpen in a box," but Dave Dombrowski is the king of prospect hugging, and the Phillies' farm system is utterly bare. Dombrowski's already on-record as saying that he won't trade Abel or Stott, which means the Cubs are gonna Cub and trade all three to Philadelphia for a box of baseballs and the corpse of McCutchen.

    Are those baseballs signed by JImmy Foxx? They could be worth something...

    Completely random.... There are three pitchers named Gray starting for the NL on Sunday -- Jon Gray (Rockies) vs. Josiah Gray (Dodgers), plus Sonny Gray (Reds).

    Happy anniversary...to the Pine Tar Game.



    I swear, I have never in my life seen anybody that pissed off. George Brett really looked like he was ready to kill somebody. :wtf:

    Only thing that comes to mind is when Andre Dawson flipped the fuck out, went to the dugout after being ejected by Cowboy Joe (after a bullshit strike three call) and began hurling bats onto the field. I was at that game.

    Brett was a notorious hothead. If he hadn't been restrained, he would have taken McClellan's head off.

    Oh my god, that's amazing. :lol:

    In case folks haven't seen it before (like me):


    Also, here's former Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon stealing first base (literally) after he got ejected back in 2001.

    Will Cleveland get a copywriter strike from the Space Force over the use of Guardians?

    Copywriting and copyright are two entirely different things. ;)

    Ohtani hits his 35th HR at Minnesota today.

    Later when he came up to bat with a man at third, the Twins intentionally walked him…and the home crowd booed.

    :lol:

    You gotta love this kid.

    Too bad he'll waste the next couple of years with the Angels before hitting free agency. Poor Mike Trout seems to be stuck in purgatory.

    Trout's career being wasted in Anaheim (he won't hit free agency until after the 2030 season) is one of the most shameful stories in recent baseball history.

    2030?! That's insane.

    No wonder the Angels can't build up a team. They spent all of their money on one player.

    Arte Moreno is worth more than $3 billion and prints money considering that he owns Angel Stadium and its parking lots in their entirety. He can spend if he wants to.

    Adam Frazier and cash considerations to the Padres, with Pittsburgh getting Tucupita Marcano (currently hitting .182 with a 40 OPS+ :lol:) and a couple of lottery-ticket minor leaguers in return.

    I stand corrected. But I assume he cries poor anyways.

    Bob Nutting, well, nutting all over Pittsburgh as he laughs all the way to the bank is one of the few certainties in life.

    I grew up in a small town in Cleveland's orbit, and then went to college in another city near Cleveland. So while I haven't lived in the Cleveland area in ten years -- gotta say, I don't have a strong opinion about the name "Guardians," but I really want to express what a relief it is to see Cleveland finally not using such a racist name and mascot.
