  1. "There's something special about playing in the city, for a team like this with a storied franchise," The city: East Rutherford, NJ
  2. Their motto should be trying to win with one hand tied behind our back.
  3. They will have minimal payroll obligations going into the next CBA. And you can safely bet they will hard bargain for a cap. I have no idea how they will accomplish this without opening their books for fair accounting and revenue sharing with the MLBPA.
  4. They made a good offer given his demands. I suppose it's nice of Jed to thank Tommy Boy for allowing him to pursue great players.
  5. Hasn’t he used it already once this offseason?
  6. He’d probably invoke his NTC.
  7. I'd rather give Shaw a long runway. I'd love Cease, but it's important to balance the need for a TOR pitcher and hope for the future. He'd cost a lot of prospects even if they could get SD to move off of Shaw. If you add the unlikelihood of resigning him it stings a little more. I don't know their plans, but, it still looks like they will play up to the next CBA and then clean the slate expecting a long work stoppage. If that is their plan, Cease makes a bit more sense.
  8. Wasn't a lat strain, it was a shoulder injury: subscapularis strain. Although all indications are he's going to have a normal spring training and be ready to go for the start of the season.
  9. Here is a real gem: "That’s just stupid, Boston."
  10. pedantic as always. The thread cop.
  11. If I were a slugger who was looking for my next big contract, I wouldn't sign in Detriot either. Their park is an awful hitter's park year over year.
  12. News flash, they aren't resigning Tucker either if he has a good season.
  13. Did you read the locked forum? "he's getting paid like a 28 year old 8 war player".
  14. lol. I don’t want that good player he makes too much money is one helluva answer by a fan of a team who should care about winning.
  15. I understand the Cubs situation and they made a very reasonable offer to Bregman. I'm not upset with the Jed or Tommy Boy. But I'm also not going to commiserate with billionaire owners about how much one of the best players in baseball is getting paid.
  16. right. It sounds like sour grapes and people trying to be too smart. Why would you not want your team to have good players? Whatever, to each his own. Play Baseball Mogul on the website, it's fun I suppose.
  17. If Gretzky played today he's probably only score 50 points a season, but he is 64. If you compare the players by era and how much better they were than the field there is no comparison. Same with Jordan. Same with Brown. Same with Ruth.
  18. I suppose we can talk about Bregman here now. I'm happy for him. He got a nice contract. I find it funny and strange when fans say, "Boy, I'm glad we didn't sign him to a deal like that." Why does anyone care? The team obviously has the money to do it, or they wouldn't. And it makes the team better. It's good for Boston.
  19. So bored already. They don't even have good "best shape of his life" articles to read on The Althetic.
  20. As much as I love gingers that’s a big no for me.
  21. Chartres street near Jackson Sq Park from the looks of it
  22. Dempster has become a decent fill-in for JD now that he's not working on an amateur comedy routine.
  23. I don't know who or what BVM sports is but they are reporting the Cubs are no longer pursing Bregman https://bvmsports.com/2025/02/10/alex-bregmans-free-agency-twist-cubs-withdraw-astros-offer-160m/#:~:text=The Cubs are no longer,Jays%2C remain in on Bregman.
  24. I read an article that said Bergman only got one long term offer with the Blue Jays. I’m guessing that they are trying to gin up some interest
  25. Shocked 😳.
