MLB 2024 Thread

[Woodsy]

Time to get the annual MLB thread going
NOT a lifetime Rangers fan but been supporting them since my son and I ‘s favourite player Corey Seager went there. Especially once my Dodgers flamed out in the post season, AGAIN. Def both cheered loud enough for the whole tri state to hear it when he hit THAT homerun

So going to start this up before Irul starts on another Yankee excuse parade, as Hot Stove is heating to burning and there are a lot of large shoes to drop including Shohei Ohtani or Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Dylan Cease is on the move , somewhere. Cody Bellinger seems primed to make a shit ton of money to maybe not revert to his career mean….

Woo hoo, Dodgers signed Joe Kelly & Jey Hey, start up the parade plans….
Hope we get some more fun surprise teams this season and the Dodgers somehow find post season relevance, last sentence aside.

Also since we ended the 2023 thread talking about the Mets and players they bring over, thought I would add that the Mets will be paying $41,621, 859 to Scherzer & Verlander in the 2024 season.

that really is Amazin'!

[Danno]

As a Mets fan, let me just say that a) it's not my money and Cohen seems ok with it, and b) they got good prospects because they're paying the money. So fuck yeah.

As a baseball fan with nearly 20 years in the tristate I hope the Mets win NY and go far in the playoffs.

Until the NLCS, to paraphrase the great baseball aficionado Don Corleone "Good luck to you. Especially since your interests don't conflict with mine. "

Anything is better than wherever bloom was going. But I’m not optimistic for next year.

NEWS FLASH:

Four-letter network that produced and broadcast The Decision upset that Ohtani not providing them with the opportunity to do the same with his free agency.

That's a whole lot of words to tell the reader they don't understand how a Japanese player with different values and culture could handle his personal business affairs differently than say LeBron.

The icing on the cake is that tmzSPN felt it necessary to have Stephen A. produce video content to blast Ohtani as well for being "secretive".

What a bunch of clowns.

[Supermoon]

I for one need to know what Stephen A thinks. He’s famously always right and has historically been really into baseball.

Paragon of baseball knowledge, that Stephen A.


Congrats Chowds, your guy got the Frick Award this year while Tom Hamilton continues to wait.

Not to be outdone, I heard Mad Dog complaining about the secrecy and comparing it to the atomic bomb. ESPN baseball coverage is embarrassingly bad. Passan and Kirkjian are the only ones worth a damn over there.
