I would like for you all to look at that 2nd Pittsburgh voter’s ballot because oh my lord

“The Mariners have checked in with Miami about Lopez and — whomp whomp — the Marlins’ response made it clear they are not motivated to trade him. M’s fans can cross Lopez off their wish list.”

Agustín Ramírez Doesn't Mince Words About the Fan Who Fired Him Up “That's the adrenaline of the game. I'd say that fan who was there inspired me. I want him to keep coming so he keeps inspiring me that way I can connect the way I connected there. He was talking a lot of shit and I shut him up.” 🎥 @LaPelotaDeAqui

Just did a Reaper tender from Dave's. Who does this to themselves regularly??? Why??? There is nothing enjoyable about that.

SOURCE: The Tampa Bay Rays have reached a pre-agreement with 12-year-old Maxuel Rosario for a $4.5 million signing bonus, setting a new franchise record and the largest bonus in the organization's history. Rosario is considered the most toolsy player in his class, with scouts comparing his athleticism to Elly De La Cruz. His combination of speed, explosiveness, raw power and arm strength makes him one of the most intriguing young talents in the international market.

With Chandler Simpson batting third, this is the 4th time a player with 0 career HR (incl PS) started a World Series game hitting 3rd, joining: 1916 WS G3 & 5 Chick Shorten 1914 WS G2 Ted Cather A testament to the way he impacts the game! @EliasSports

Not great B, not great.

Cameron please for the love of God man... Please stop pretending and implying in your posts that these specific two organizations (and Cleveland for that matter) are "anti analytics." It's flat out objectively, provably, 100% false and wildly ignorant. Tampa and Milwaukee are some of the biggest employers of analytics, R&D, and performance science in the league. Tampa THE largest hub for "analytics" in the league. Source linked in replies. But most importantly, PLEASEEEE stop associating the term "analytics" with one philosophy of baseball! I have no idea why more people in baseball media or on this app don't set the distinction more often: Analytics = insight from data "Analytics" ≠ one specific hitting/pitching philosophy "Analytics" ≠ home runs good, contact bad "Analytics" ≠ contact good, home runs bad Analytics is literally just getting insight from data. We have lots and lots of it now from the rapid improvement in technology over the years. Hawkeye cameras allow us to track things (especially on the non-proprietary, public side of things) that were unimaginable in the past. We have access to a growing, vast volume of data that was not available before this technology existed. Analytics is literally just using this information to draw insights. This consists of: - Tampa optimizing a lineup that works well on the Trop turf - Tampa optimizing pitch shapes that work well in their dome - Milwaukee's projection systems and scouting department that has allowed them to derive as much value from the IFA market as they have over the years - and much much more Analytics *COULD* lead one to believe more contact is needed Analytics *COULD* lead one to believe more pop is needed There is no one, cookie cutter, one size fit-all philosophy that "analytics" subscribes you to. It is quite literally just the means of arriving at said philosophy and the evidence you use to prop that philosophy up.

Reminder: If/when the Marlins exercise Sandy Alcantara’s club option, it’s only $2M on books. El Caballo is projected as the club’s 7th-highest paid (Spotrac) player. Great value for MLB’s 2026 IP leader & and a Miami fan favorite who will hopefully get extended this offseason

I mean he is a one year rental and really didn't have a great year. Pretty mediocre if anything. Has not been the same since TJ. His value is at its lowest. Would realistically be a lesser deal than the Peralta trade imo. He also doesnt move the needle at this point also imo
