5BREAKING: The Atlanta Braves are acquiring seven-time All-Star Chris Sale in a trade with the Boston Red Sox, sources tell ESPN. Well-regarded infield prospect Vaughn Grissom is the return to Boston, which will send money with Sale, who waived his no-trade clause to join Atlanta

Wow. Hope sale can find it again. I think he’d be a killer bullpen arm if he wanted it

Killer bullpen arm and a cash machine
ATLANTA (AP) — The Boston Red Sox will pay the Braves $17 million in equal installments of $8.5 million on April 1 and July 1 as part of last weekend's trade that sent left-hander Chris Sale to Atlanta.
Sale's cost to Atlanta this year in effect will be $500,000. The 34-year-old has a $27.5 million salary, but that includes $10 million deferred until June 30, 2039.
Sale is entering the final guaranteed season of a $160 million, six-year contract he signed with the Red Sox.

looks like beltre, helton, and mauer with sheffield really close to making it over the line:

The private ballots usually trend downward compared to the public ones.
Sheffield has no chance. Beltre is a lock. Helton is going to be close based on the voting history. Wagner may be close too. If I was betting, I think both fall short though. None of these 3 have gained enough known votes to indicate that they will make it. Mauer, it's hard to tell because he has no voting history, but he is a good bit above the threshold right now."fuck off you asshat gaper shit for brains fucktard wanker." - Jesus Christ

Mauer was a really good catcher, one of the best ever. Could you go wrong with him or Posey or Posada behind the plate? not really.
I agree that Beltre is in. Helton and Sheff were both quite good, not sure i’d punch a ticket for them. I used to think Helton was a lock.
Maybe they should change the eligibility to ten years of retirement so there’d be a little less recency bias and keep some borderline candidates out.j'ai des grands instants de lucididididididididi

Posey and Posada both in. Mauer’s career was sadly shortened by injuries, maybe not enough games

I hated his team through his entire career but Posey should be first ballot lock.
Based on everything.

Happy trails, Michael Brantley. 10 years with the Indians, 5 with the Astros, a true professional hitter (.298 career) that many have credited with their approach at the plate and just how to be a big leaguer, including Frankie Lindor, Josey Ramirez and many others on that '16 World Series team.

A real pro, he would have been loved like O’Neil in pinstripes.

Isn't that the truth?
I had a weird knack for running into Paul O'Neil whenever I was with this one college buddy in Cincinnati. He'd always casually say "hey Paul" as we'd pass him which I always thought was funny. But once he was pointed out I always noticed that he would spend as much time as someone wanted with him for an autograph or just to share a baseball memory of his. Very cool guy.I still call it The Jake.

It’s crazy to me that the greatest defensive center fielder in history isn’t gonna make it into the Hall. I know his career fell off a cliff at 30, but Andruw Jones deserves a spot in my opinion. Even with his quick decline he ended up with over 400 homers and almost 2,000 hits. Not to mention more WAR than a bunch of current Hall of Famers. But his defense alone should get him in. 10 straight gold gloves in a premium position and considered by many to be the best ever out there.

sheff is still hanging in there. he was a great player but i don’t think many people are taking him before lofton in an imaginary draft.
the mvp awards and roids both kind of fucked things up for players. the voters suck period (palmeiro gg forever unforgivable) and the numbers got so distorted with roids that the 90’s should just get their own wing to right some wrongs.
In 1994 i was in sleep away camp and every week i’d get the standings in a letter from my mom and one day they just stopped coming.
damn shame.
fr though i should get to cooperstown one day to see what they have before instant suggesting wings. probably.j'ai des grands instants de lucididididididididi

sheff is in the news talking trash about 04. kinda funny because likeability is worth about 30% of a vote these days. i would not be shocked if this keeps him out if he fails to make it on this ballot.

It’s his last year anyway. But he would be wise to look at how terrible he played the last four games of that series before talking shit.
Teoscar Hernandez to the good guys on a 1 year deal with a shit load of deferrals. Not sure he is worth $23 million, but they definitely needed another guy who can rake against lefties. Not too much risk for one year.
Mookie
Shohei
Freddie
Smith
Hernandez
Muncy
Heyward/Margot
Outman
Lux
Glasnow
Yamamoto
Buehler
Miller
Sheehan/Yarbrough
And hopefully Kershaw back after the All Star Break.
A few questions but not too bad. Gonna be a fun 162. I’ll still be scared shitless in October though.

Been discussed before but WTF MLB
April 5th Opening day.
Yankees want $100 a ticket to stand it what will likely be 40 degree weather, 45 if we are lucky, 32 if we arent.
If only there were teams in warmer climates ....

Mauer & Brltre were 2 of the best players I saw in my lifetime, I am 52 and have seen a lot of major league baseball.
That's HOF worthy right there in my book.

Helton only played because Gallerga left, and even then he was no Larry Walker, so he's not even the best Rocky I saw at Coors.
Meh

That's how team sports work? Considering they're both in the HOF now, whichever one was your favorite doesn't matter so much.
Cool to see former Rockies getting in. Now back to baseball irrelevance for the next decade.
