This is so dumb
-
i thought they acknowledged a change, but said it was within the allowable range I don’t think they’ve officially acknowledged anything, let alone they made the request/were behind the change. They just talk around it. I think all that’s really been officially said is along the lines of “something could be different or changed, but that would be on the manufacturer and maybe something changed in their process/materials but we aren’t aware of any changes.”

Using Morrow tonight is/was monumentally stupid by Roberts

I was just going to post nearly this exact same thing
-
Lol
-
Morrow has nothing
-
What are you doing Springer?????
-
Nice bunt call, tactician
-
Posted this in general mlb thread but will put it here too. The WS balls are even dumber than the regular season juiced balls
-
Yeah he’s probably somewhere between McCarthy and Leake

Magic are shooting the damn lights out. They're fun. Yeah they’re fun and have some intriguing talent but those 5 teams are likely 5 of the 8-12 worse teams in the league when it’s all over (and likely 2 of the worst 5 or so). This was probably one of Cleveland’s easier stretches this year, they should have some legit concerns.
-
The balls in the postseason are even shittier and dumber than the stupid/juiced balls from the regular season.
-
I know it’s early and likely doesn’t matter but the Cavs last 5 games they’ve lost to the Magic, Nets, Pelicans and Knicks and only beat the Bulls by 7.
-
Especially Wood in that spot, he was dealing and the lead is given up. Try and get another inning or 2 out of him. I get Morton being pulled here, have the lead now and 2 hard hit balls in a row. But just stick with Wood imo after the HR.
-
Not very tactical if you ask me, Andy
-
Yu is the man
-
Shove that bullpen managing and PH’ing Chase Utley in the 9th up your ass “tactician”
-
Nice base running, Puig
-
His name is the same as the country singer, that’s all I got

That can't be right. Maybe from a 'we're sending dollars independent of any contracts owed' sense, but in this case it can easily take the form of paying part of Heyward and Martin's contracts. I'm trying to find it. For some reason, I was thinking it was from Passan. Maybe talking about why A-Rod was so untradeable. What I'm not sure of, is whether it can be APPLIED in different ways, but it has to be ACTUALLY paid off within that period. It was an odd rule, to say the least. If I find it, I'll post it obviously. In Laws chat yesterday he was talking about a Stanton trade and mentioned any money the Marlins would throw in would kick in down the road after he doesn’t exercise his opt out. So according to him it would be allowed.

That's not bad, their corner OF situation for 2018(and beyond) is basically a bunch of spare parts too. EDIT: For clarity, Martin has 2 years at 20 mil before FA, so the Jays probably need to kick in a few bucks in 2018/2019 in exchange for the Cubs taking a bit more in the later Heyward years. Also, from a luxury tax perspective, Martin is only 16.4 million each year. Hmm, got it maybe we could do something like Heyward + $20-30 mil starting in 2020 (if he doesn’t opt out) and Caritini for Martin? Or something like Heyward with the money mentioned above, LaStella, and Caritini for Tulo and Martin with the Jays throwing in a little money this year and next. 2 expensive bench/back up bats (let’s assume no Russell/Baez trade) but could work.
-
If we trade Russell or Baez maybe something could work with the Jays for Tulo (he could be the SS/2B/UTL IF, he’s owed ~$50 mil through 2020) and Martin (we were in on him when he was a FA and could be the backup C, owed $20 mil this year then a FA). Maybe even something like Russell + Heyward and a minor leaguer or 3 gets us Stroman, Tulo and Martin (if we are going to trade Russell, which I don’t want to but if we do that could be something there.)
