    And now he's going to the Mets for a slightly shorter, smaller deal of 12 years and $315 million.

    Steve Cohen has a lot more money than common sense.

    The Mets and Padres are competing to see who can spend more to watch the World Series from home.

    Living on Long Island again, I will get to watch this first hand. Plan on going to as many Mets games as I can this year.

    Trevor Bauer reinstated after suspension cut to 194 games. The Dodgers have 14 days to decide whether they'll reinstate him onto their 40-man roster. His original contract has him signed through 2023 with $32 million owed for next season.

    The Braves sign Sean Murphy to a 7 / 63 deal.

    Seriously, Anthopoulos is a wizard. The entire Braves core lineup is signed through 2026 - 2028, for below-market money.

    Ten umpires are retiring, the most since 1999. The lineup: Ted Barrett, Greg Gibson, Tom Hallion, Sam Holbrook, Jerry Meals, Jim Reynolds, Bill Welke, Marty Foster, Paul Nauert and Tim Timmons.

    You may recall Tom Hallion for doing a Frank Drebin act for his strike three calls:



    Jerry Meals was the umpire for Kerry Wood's 20-strikeout game and gave him like four inches off the plate, glove-side.

    You may also recall Meals from one of the worst calls in history because he wanted to go back to the hotel:

    Several guys have said they wanted to play for a team that was going to have a consistent roster for several years. We certainly have that now. It's quite the change from a team who would regularly bring in ancient pitchers and outfielders every year.

    Rafael Devers and the Red Sox agree to an 11-year, $331 million extension. :eek:

    Per The Athletic, the Mets and Carlos Correa still remain far apart in their disagreement over his medicals. The Mets are reportedly pushing for large provisions pertaining to playing time / time spent on the injured list, while Correa's camp is holding firm on a fully guaranteed deal. There's still a large possibility that the two sides walk away, and reportedly multiple teams--including the Twins--are ready to swoop in if Correa is willing to accept a shorter deal with a higher annual average value.

    The Dodgers have cut ties with Trevor Bauer.

    The really sad part is, some team will pick him up. There's always at least one team :rolleyes:

    If the Giants and Mets are gonna keep squabbling over Carlos Correa...why don't they share him?

    One takes North Correa, the other South Correa
