The Trop sustained too much damage from the hurricanes...
MLB 2025
- Thread starter calodo2003
- Start date
Can they even fill that one (when the Yankees aren't in town)?
Probably not!
Any point in rebuilding the Trop? Aren't the Rays getting a new stadium eventually
Where would Soto end up?
Dodgers sign Snell and likely to sign Sasaki. Baseball is done as a competitive sport.
And the dodgers sign Edman (.237, 6hr, 20rbi) to 5/75. They are operating in a different financial world. I expect Soto and Sasaki to follow.
If they get Soto, they will be ridiculously entertaining to watch next year.
Maybe, but my already waining interest in baseball will likely fall off a cliff. I have limited time each week to watch sports, why waste it on a league that is non competitive? MLB has made no effort to rein in the Dodgers or, to a lesser extent, the Yankees/Mets, spending, and the sport will suffer for it.
Can somebody explain to me Shohei’s deal?
If it’s a back end deal, how do they keep it under the cap when it comes at the end of his career or is it a post career deal?
Doesn’t make sense.

Monster contract for Soto to the Mets.
I believe it’s post career. MLB values “actual” contract around 400 million or something.
Can you imaging what kind of contract Bonds would have gotten when he left Pittsburgh in the current climate????
Bonds (27yo season): .311/.456/.624 36hr, 39sb, 36k(!!), gold glove
Soto (25yo. Season): 288/.419/.569 41hr, 12sb, 119k, definitely not gold glove defense

More money that you can imagine, certainly makes our overpaid players at United look cheap
Soto will be a DH before he's 30, that is crazy crazy money for a bat only player. I mean it's a hell of a bat, but still, Ohtani must feel a bit undervalued
Dumb contract but it's the Mets so I'm not surprised.
Your Bonds numbers are off a bit - 34 homers and 69 strikeouts. Should mention he led the NL in runs 109 and walks 127 that year.

Bah, good catch. That’s what I get for trying to post using shitty Delta WiFi
Brutal as a Yankees fan but can't really blame the management considering they offered him like 750 million. We don't really have much of a team now
The Nationals won the draft lottery. They actually have a nice young core and if they add someone like Ethan Holliday, they could be fun to watch in a few years.
Pivot to Max Fried for 8 years is interesting, I understand the years are to bring down the average but its still a big commitment.
Thinking Cashman is going for it, maybe trade Gil for something decent.

Rest in peace, you absolute legend...
Ichiro - unanimous HOF vote or nah?
I'd be very surprised if he isn't
It has never happened, so no.
Wasn't Rivera unanimous?
Rivera was the first and only. Which means there's always been some dipshit hater out that said no to all-timers like Mays, Teddy W, Maddox, etc. For example, Ruth was left off 11 ballots. Fecking diabolical, granted it was the first selection with 50 years to cover and a very lax set of rules - active players were eligible and some voters supposedly elected to leave Ruth off the ballot to clamor for others and knowing Ruth was a lock.
Completely forgot about that, and the fact it was a closer (albeit the best ever) is ridiculous. I mean, the next year Jeter was left off a ballot. The ballots should not be secret, but they are so we get this type of shit.
