Sasaki “Can I meet the catcher who would be my battery-mate if I join the Padres?”

Padres “By the way, are you interested to become a two-way player by pitching and catching?”

If you happened to watch the Bills-Rams game on Fox — a game that finished with 86 combined points — the last two minutes revealed something.

It was Brady’s best broadcasting sequence of the season.

This is the third Scott Boras pitcher who signed early, joining Snell and Kikuchi.
The New York Mets sign free agent starter Frankie Montas to 2-year, $34 million contract as @JeffPassan 1st reported.

While I partially agree with his argument, the parity in MLB does not come with the competitive balance but the randomness in playoffs. The regular season results are strongly aligned with wealth. Meanwhile, MLB needs a rule to stop some owners being cheap.
Are people really that bothered by the Snell signing?

Baseball is BY FAR the sport with the most parity in the US. Haven’t had a repeat winner since 2000. Seems people are upset before they have a reason to be.

Don’t be mad at the Dodgers. Be mad at your team for being cheap.

Now RoY needs to be less controversial than picking only one rookie from pitchers and batters as it rewards PPI pick and thus has a decent impact to a player recruitment. It is no longer just a prize for a young man.

Nothing against Skenes, but I need MLB to split the RoY award to two, one for a pitcher and the other for a batter. It’s a shame to see Jackson Merrill receiving no candy or PPI pick with a wonderful rookie season, in which he played for 156 games.

A trade involving India and Singer was not close on Saturday, and is just one of several possibilities under consideration for both clubs.
