Bellinger..and .iminaga

 

[ulmax]

He's a good player..but hitting hrs..
At .T.moblie...
He Needs a .re-boot...not like..Wong

[ulmax]

He's good at 2b..real good .
But maybe as good .at 3b..it's hard.
To say..
He's only .26.yo.

 

[ulmax]

MLB insider Hector Gomez of Z101 reported Friday that the Los Angeles Dodgers plan to be “very aggressive” in trying to sign Ohtani while simultaneously trading for Mike Trout.

What is it with Dipoto's fetish with below average utility players? I don't get it.

This is so Dipoto that it's almost comical.

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

Everyone knew it would pass but still BS. Stanton would never go against the flow...unless the flow was against the fans of Seattle.

I would hate this move but A's moving helps Seattle become a 4 for 4 sports town.

I could be completely wrong on this but I believe the A's have to pay a relocation fee that is split amongst the owners. No reason for them to vote against it.

Correct. Raiders moved they too had to pay a relocation fee to all owners.

Good point. I wasn't even thinking about that.

It’s an interesting trade since the Red Sox have the same problem

New regime moved on

It may be from a Red Sox perspective but from a Mariners perspective they have now traded their closer and one of the better down the stretch relievers for a platoon at 2B when they already have an abundance of platoon players on the team.

 

[wazzu31]

Ty from Locked on Mariners says the deal isa home run....lol. They loved all Jerry's moves last offseason too only to blast him after the season.

I don’t get how anyone could love it. Maybe not hate it, but I don’t see how there is a justification of thinking at most this is meh deal. They have a better version of him in Dylan Moore and he shouldn’t be getting meaningful AB’s. Plus I just don’t get the trade value. Is there another organization that would trade a meaningful reliever for Sam Haggerty

Manfred already got the owners to waive the relocation fee, which is why is was crazy that it was an unanimous vote. The only thing I see the owners actually get is they get leverage against their current city saying they will have move. Cause evidently the Brewers are next on the hit list.

Though I still don’t get the Tampa thing. The whole thing is they couldn’t get enough revenue in their current location so they are going to build a new one next door? It so weird and I wish they’d just move to Orlando.

Yeah basically just means expansion is almost a guarantee now

Oh I get why you’re mad

If your gm is right you 100% win the deal tho

That’s a gamble you can make when you have created multiple useful pen arms before


But as a Red Sox fan I’m happy with the move as well
