Gardner didn't exercise his option.... He was such a good ballplayer in his prime covering tons of acreage in center and fearing no injury, very much the antithesis of a spoiled Arod type. Couldn't even make his college team his first try, drafted low, always overshadowed by over people with the same skillset (fucking Ellsbury wtf). He should have packed up his cleats a few years ago, but for a day I'd like to remember him in his prime and not struggling to hit .200 as a should have retired years ago type.
Anyway, if this is the end, who are the Sox fans going to hate the most now? Boone might have hit that homerun, but he's a gift now!j'ai des grands instants de lucididididididididi

Ok
MVP is some bullshit this year
Otani is AL, other finalists are window dressing.
But 2 that didnt make playoffs?
3 dudes in NL that didnt make the playoffs?
Harper, Soto and Tattis
All good
All good seasons
But no Crawford?
No nod to Turner despite most hits and best Avg?
Muncy?
Freeman?
6 best players in MLB are on non playoff teams?
Not buying it.

MVP is bullshit anyway.
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

enjoy heaney in LA, there’s a chance Dodger Stadium could suppress a few home runs but since he averages like 3 an inning i’d say the Giants are the big winners.

IG video, no clue how to embed that (don’t think we can)
Freeman for sure has got to be in there. Shit, maybe even Albies given what those dudes did when Acuna went down.
No Snitker for Manager of the Year? He only took a team that was under .500 at the break and won the Series.I still call it The Jake.

Noone has done what Ohtani has done in my lifetime
His achievements transcend the Angel's mediocrity.
None of the others do.
Its simple

He ain't wrong, but this happens in all sports, and the reason is only a small part draft picks as he claims, but mostly saving $ on payroll. In football accumulating draft picks is a much larger impetus since a team will lose more games, get an easier schedule, talent is easier to assess and you generally see much quicker payout. I do agree it sucks, but how would you curtail it?
Agent Scott Boras: Tanking, MLB's 'competitive cancer,' led to Atlanta Braves' World Series title

Hes not wrong, but per usual all he cares about is more $ for his guys which means more money for him.
He is wrong that its a cancer, teams made a decision. Braves chose to buy and go for it.
Reds, Phillies, Mariners, Yankees, Reds, Cubs, etc were all in similar positions position and didnt.
Which Franchises are a happier? Right now the Braves Long term? We will see says the Zen master.
It all blows up and resets this winter anyhow.

bullshit cover from the guy who presumably made $$$ for gettin max scherzer traded from the “tanking” nats to the competitive dodgers? Braves were third in the nl East on august 1, 2 games up on those same nats. The nats chose to tank (wonder how much player pressure from good players?) the braves didn’t.

Did Boras say the Yankees tanked? Trading for Rizzo, Gallo, and the first FA signing this offseason in Heaney (who singlehandedly cost the Yanks HFA) was hardly tanking. I wish they get Scherzer and Turner, but they didn't.
Gallo is represented by Boras, so you'd think he team went from an also ran to a team that made the sort of playoffs.j'ai des grands instants de lucididididididididi
