Say what you will about the Chaim Bloom era but man did he rip off the Phillies getting him for Heath Hembree and Brandon Workman (who combined to give up 24 runs in 22.1 IP for Philadelphia.)
Our health & performance department, our coaches, all contributed and helped him parlay 4 Cy Young caliber seasons over the last 4 years into $126M. So I’m proud of what our group was able to help him accomplish. I’m happy he was rewarded for it.
Look at Andruw Jones. By 30/31 he was no longer an all star caliber player. 1.7 WAR for his age 31-35 seasons. Acuna plays a fast game. There’s a decent chance the right move is to let him hit free agency after the options. You never know. The speedy guys don’t always age well.
This doesn't seem right. I could be wrong but when was ARod averaging $33m a year at any point in his career? I thought in 09 he was still on his original $252m deal from Texas. Didn't strasburg get his contract AFTER the world series?
Stras and Harper both got paid the offseason before the championship. Remember when Washington had to choose between one of them, and you had Harper’s “bring a championship to Washington” mishap and then they actually won it that year?
When Baltimore signed him in '09 and their fans were like, "why?" this mother fucker had the balls to say, out loud, "Well I won a World Series last year."
This is 99% irrelevant to your comment but I doubt Shohei moves back to Japan. He’ll probably be too famous to live a normal life, Hideki Matsui still lives in NYC for this reason and you’d have to think at this point Shohei is an even bigger star than Hideki ever was.
Harper and machado are inexplicably linked.
almost signed with the same team too
He’s next project is gonna be an album bruh he’s one of the biggest in the industry he ain’t droppin a mixtape
Trav just dropped a somewhat experimental album that sounded at times like a return to his Owl Pharaoh sound.
he should hit leadoff
THATS MY MVP DARK HORSE BABY
same here buddy
June came early boys!

I know Heath was dogshit, but the guy has a 105 ERA+ for Boston.

Chase Utley
That guy is still on the Phillies?
His contract expired, we declined his option, but he hasn’t accrued enough service time to be a free agent. Really unique situation.
To me my favorite is still the 4 panera mac n cheeses
what r the chances of getting livi w 3 seniors n 1 junior w lotto of 775
Did it with 1050 lotto for this year
ur actually goated ty
😍
What’s the likelihood of Acuna getting extended? I mean you saw what happened to Freeman.

why?
I’m replying just to hear the explanation because i’m too lazy to look it up
men a bullpen of Clase, Alvarado, Seranthony, Kerkering, Soto and Hoffman would do miracles for me. i'm hype alredy
Your forgetting Strahm

Wasn’t that a joke tho? And honestly a pretty good one too.
303/414/574 37HR 108RBI 116R is my projection but I think he does better
I'm just happy to see Money Mike in the top 5
Trout played half a season (all unhealthy) and was worth 6 WAR. Probably only Jrod should be above him.
You aren't talking about the same Mike...
Oh lord
I was at every postseason home game in 2022 and 2023.
yeah there's no way Lurie takes the reigns from Howie again, idk what Howie has on him but it cuts deep
Idk what howie has on him?? A good relationship lol…
Also adding:
Is that Adam Duvall music?
The situation is not the same unless the city engineer can somehow agree to have over 50% of his salary paid out after he retires.

Riser
My thorax hurts watching this team
If your such a Klentak fanboy how can you forget the Wheeler signing??? I question this post heavily..
Dave came in. We won the pennant immediately. We were WS frontrunners the next year before a historical NLCS game 7 player-caused collapse.
Was scraping Fangraphs data last night and saw JT only had 10 GIDP last year. I refuse to believe that. I swear he had like 30 lol
JT beat them all out otherwise he’d have 500
