Dodgers thinking: “We don’t actually know who this guy is and we don’t actually need him, but horsefeathers another team having him and reaping any of the benefits of actually playing him if he plays well, because God knows that we don’t know where to fit him.”
Tweet should have read: “Man attends public convention and can attend games at Wrigley Field, like he was free to do for decades. Crowd rejoices!”
But what it does say is: “Ricketts family set to pamper VIP Sammy Sosa at convention and are set to give him the whole “this VIP is sitting in the owners box” treatment at Wrigley Field. Crowd rejoices!”
Awesome. So by bringing in a horsefeathers rule, the league are going to horsefeathers over players with clauses in their contracts that are contingent on reaching a certain amount of at bats.
You know that Scott Boras has definitely crunched the numbers in his head and realised that last quarter’s dildo and BDSM sales will cover the cost of whatever millions is left on the table if Juan Soto doesn’t take the highest offer.
At this stage, the rest of Baseball is like LeBron James in that meme where JR Smith has been photoshopped out of it and replaced by the Golden State Warriors big 5. In this case, the GSW players have been replaced by the Dodgers entire roster and LeBron James represents the rest of baseball.
Dodgers are just making it easier for cheap owners to continue being cheap. “What‘s the point in spending money to only be second best to the Dodgers… that’s our excuse and we are sticking to it.”
Thankfully, Cleveland were horsefeathers enough to give up a 3-1 World Series lead. Just have to be content with that.
Yeah, I’m just messing around. Would love Sasaki, everything we’ve seen of him just seems incredible. No shame in losing out to a club in a better position to win now but hey, stranger things have happened.
