Nobody cares what you think, ass

The NY media can go fuck themselves.

It’s garbage “analysis” like this from NY elitist hacks like Sherman which makes so many players not want to play in NY or want to leave once they get there.

When he was a Met, deGrom was “the best pitcher in baseball”. Now that he spurned them for Texas, he’s an overrated waste of money with no leadership skills.

Their anger and jealousy that NY doesn’t always win or get what they want just drips off the screen with every ridiculous tweet.

Also, if you want to feel even better about it, just read the replies to his tweet. He is getting absolutely DRAGGED by baseball fans from all over the country (even some Mets fans) for his petty, jealous take. They are ripping him a new one right and left.

The Changing Dynamics of Cardinals Pitchers Under Mike Maddux's Tutelage

Today I wanted to take a look at some data and see if we can make any sense of any changes that MIke Maddux has actually (not theoretically) brought to the the St. Louis Cardinals in his two years as the pitching coach, when he replaced former coach Derek Lilliquist after the 2017/prior to the...

Well if we sign another top notch pitcher eyes by the NY crowd then watch their diatribe go further south. Heyman and Sherman are in cahoots anyways. Have listened once not twice to their joint podcast. I hope they keep bringing it so the crow they have to eat overflows lol

He would but would you include Evan Carter with any trade for him. I would do Leody in a heartbeat. Add some iF prospects and a pitcher not named ….

Maybe Lowe in some mix might generate interest

This is funny.

So, Rodón to Texas is still in the cards?
This off-season is going to be crazier than last year.
DeGrom-Rodon-Perez-Gray-Dunning/Otto/Odorizzy (?)
That would be absolutely filthy.

Orioles Among 8-9 Teams Interested In Carlos Rodon

Roughly eight or nine teams are known to have interest in Carlos Rodon, according to Jon Heyman of the New …

www.mlbtraderumors.com

“In other Rodon news, Heyman writes that Texas is still in on the southpaw even after already signingdeGrom to a five-year, $185MM deal yesterday. As expected, the Rangers have put a heavy emphasis on rotation upgrades this winter, between signing deGrom, re-signing Martin Perez, and acquiring Jake Odorizzi from the Braves. That trio joins Jon Gray and Dane Dunning in the projected starting five, but the Rangers have been so aggressive over the last two offseasons that it wouldn’t be all that surprising to see them also sign Rodon. In this case, one of Dunning or Odorizzi could become a depth starter or swingman, or potentially even a trade chip”

That would be wild

For sure, man.
On paper that would be a rotation as good as the Rangers WS teams, wouldn't it? Or do you think that's pushing it?
