Happy with what astros are doing …1 out 1 in plus we get JV back next year…anything he can do will be a bonus .
As for Correa whos going to be the highest bidder…
lost springer last year and we coped can we do it again next year?
Big Papi into the HOF in his first year of eligibilty with 77.9% of the vote.
Bonds, Clemens, Schilling and Sosa all fail to make the cut in the last year of eligibility.
Bonds was a HOF player before that idiotic and frankly narcissistic decision to ‘allegedly’ do PEDs. What a waste.
Universal DH is here.
Never again will a pitcher bat unless it’s a very weird situation (extra innings?).
Personally I’m not thrilled about it. I’m a National League guy who appreciates the old school managerial tactics around pinch-hitting decisions.
I suppose it could be justified considering pitchers have injured themselves enough lately hitting and running the bases.
Oh well… some traditions die I guess.
Logan Webb from the Giants is the last pitcher to ever hit a HR.
I am not a fan of this move to be honest.
Well, this is just fine
This is so ■■■■. Should be half way through Spring Training!!!
The lockout is over.
Season to start April 7.
PLAY BALL!
Still lots of big-name free agents to sign.
To name 4 - Freddie Freeman, Jorge Soler, Eddie Rosario and Joc Peterson.
Kris Bryant too.
Its going to be a manic few days.

Giants have picked up ChiSox SP Carlos Rodón
Mets have picked up A’s SP Chris Bassitt for pitching prospects, one of whom is highly rated
TEX have acquired C Mitch Garver from MIN for SS Isiah Kiner-Falefa
White Sox have signed free agents RP Joe Kelly and 2B Josh Harrison
