2023 MLB Thread; Say Hey, everybody: Rest In Power, Willie

[cedric ceballos]

The Juan Soto is situation is going to be interesting in that unless the Nationals lower their asking price, Soto is likely going to indirectly have a say in where he gets traded and likely ends up on a preferred destination for him.

Because him and his representation can easily let it be known he’s not signing an extension with certain teams/markets, which will either cause those teams which aren’t his preferred choice to back out or to offer less.

Assuming he gets traded at the deadline, 2.5 seasons is a decent amount to have him for and you potentially have him for the next 3 postseasons. But 4 prospects, some established talent and also taking on a bad contract with no long term commitment?

And Scott Boras clients usually hit free agency so it’s not a guarantee he signs an extension if he gets traded to a preferred destination for him.

Señor J wasn’t lying when he said Soto might go to the Padres.

Tim Kurkjian and Buster Olney said it’s really a possibility.

Yankees can’t beat the Astros. They’re not winning a damn thing this year if they have to face Houston in a playoff series.

Imagine the Yankees setting the regular season record for wins just to get bounced by Houston in the playoff? That would wild.

You do recall the 01 Mariners, right?

I’m not putting much stock in regular season. I’ll worry more come playoffs if the Yankees and Astros meet. I mean the 2021 Yankees were 4-2 against the Astros last year. That Yankee team was not good lol.

Soto wants to play with his fellow Dominican buddy in SD:

And he's good friends with Manny:

Even if it's just for 2.5 years to make 3 pennant runs.

He thinks Judges GF has a cute sister, he could go there just for the Draws.
And He likes the NY pizza spots.
Broadway too.

Soto going to Seattle.
That city deserves it after OKC stole their whole damn Basketball.

Dodgers fans I’ll bet on your team tonight if you make a case you’ll win, the ERAs of both pitchers is what concerns me

Fill in/7th starter vs their ace. Quick BR search says the starters are like 7-50 against Rodon. I wouldn’t.

 

[a-friend]

LAD can’t hit bad lefties, a good one? No chance.
Rodon going 9.
89pitch count

Trea will get on a few times, the rest, no chance.

This year’s Yankee team will not come close to even the 1998 regular season record

Yo the A Rod slander in this Captain episode LOL!!!

If there’s an epi with T’Wolves owner ARod I’ve found myself in the all-defense role and will argue his ability to tan in Central Park against any of you.

 

[grogu]

Amazing how huge HRs look in that little league park

 

[a-friend]

Carpenter hits a HR here.
Man hits a HR every 3.2 ABs this year.

Welp
