with only one unearned run in 20 innings against mediocre pitchers, we were very lucky to win one of the last two games.
The analysts at MLB network love the pick and compare him to John Tudor and Chris Sale. Said he could be on the Cardinals roster as early as this season.
Per CBS sports… 1. Cardinals
This is almost certain to age poorly, but yes, we think the Cardinals have the clearest path of any team to acquiring Soto. They’ve won out on Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado in recent seasons, and have taken swings on Francisco Lindor, among others, demonstrating that they have the appetite and willingness to make a blockbuster addition. The Cardinals also have the ability to offer a package that includes some combination of Jordan Walker, Masyn Winn, Dylan Carlson, and Tyler O’Neill, among others. Additionally, they’ll have Goldschmidt’s contract coming off the books after the 2024 season … or right when Soto’s extension would crank up to cover his free-agent years. It’s possible Soto would prefer to play on a coast, but shy of that, Mike Rizzo should direct one of his first phone calls about Soto to the Cardinals.
Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi has suffered a torn ACL in his left knee, team president Dayton Moore announced on Thursday. Maybe a nice cross state trip for DeJong could answer a lot of questions for both our team and theirs.
Remove politics completely from the game.
Reduce ticket prices.
Hard salary cap. (floor and ceiling)
No DH.
No shift.Juan Soto turned down a 13-year, $350 million contract from the Washington Nationals…the players need to continue holding out…how can anyone be expected to survive in these inflationary times on a paltry $350 million?
In panic mode due to the pending loss of Robby Ray, the Jays just threw $131 million for 7 years at Jose Barrios. Considering what they gave up to acquire him it seems they felt obligated to sign him.
There is no way Bob Gibson would allow a 22 pitch at bat. After about 7 or 8 pitches you throw one a bit too far inside.
Can anyone out there find stats that indicate whether or not the constant shifting of infielders has made certain infield positions more or less valuable defensively that in previous years?
with regards to Joey Gallo of Texas, he makes Dave Kingman and Pete Incaviglia look like batting champions. We need guys that consistently get on base and put the ball in play. Sub .210 hitters who are K machines hurt more than they help.
How does this affect our negotiations with Yadi?…The Athletic reported on Friday night that the Phillies made Realmuto a five-year offer worth “slightly north” of $100 million. It is well below Realmuto’s asking price at the end of last Spring Training — he hoped to land a $200 million deal — and possibly below the record average annual value for a catcher.
