Rojas hiring is good. TBH, I preferred that over Beltran to begin with, so whatever I guess. He is very well respected in the org and has been the AA manager so most of the young players are familiar with him. He's also the brother of Moises Alou so that's cool

(Beltran got a raw deal from the Mets but he, and any players involved on a larger scale, really should've been punished by MLB, not leave it up to the teams to dangle.)

Now sign more FAs. Braves signed Ozuna to a great deal for them on the cheap because sell the goddamn team already

It's kind of funny actually that for Altuve in 2017 the discrepancy is even more stark:

.311/.371/.463 Home
.381/.449/.633 Away

2018 is similar, as is 2016.

So often no one has any idea what's going on; obviously when you're there at a game but often even in the TV booth no one can figure out why a certain ruling has gone a certain why, so this has been a long time coming

This is fascinating.

signstealingscandal.com

Someone compiled every single astros bang in 2017. Theres a. Breakdown by player and game. You can click into any game for which theres a youtube video and this guy listened to every single and recorded every single bang. Now remember the mets were there in 2017, right after hurricane harvey. Theres no feed for the first 2 games (which was a doubleheader, pod from friday bc of the hurricane that the mets agreed to) but there is for the Sunday game. and clicking on that video they even missed at least one bang that led to george Springer's homer in the 4th (its in the top comment of the YouTube video that is connected to that astros Mets game).
But yeah the site is near cuz you can sorta see who got the most bangs per ab

man of course big trade news would happen today

I fucking told y'all that mets selling deal wouldn't go through. So much can go wrong in 5 years. We didn't even make it 5 months. What a fucking joke. This is the 2nd time this has happened now where Fredo has forced a potential buyer out by changing a deal after it was agreed upon. I almost feel like this was just a ploy to get on some back pages and get fans buying more tickets. It's horrific this dog and pony show is allowed to go on but who is surprised at this point huh?

As always, the other shoe always drops so we need to always expect it to soften the blow. I'm vindicated. Hooray?

The issue with Betts is that I dont think he was going to sign here. So we purged Price and got some decent young guys back in exchange for one year of Betts.

weve been fucked since we signed the Sale extension.

yeah. It feels bad. You bring your kids into the Sox fandom and they like Mookie and we have one of the best players of the generation and then we cant keep him. And knowing it wasnt him, it was us.

Ugh. This man wanted to buy the team and run it well. And its fucking gone because the wilpons are nothing but fucking con artists.

So as I mentioned this will be the 2nd time a deal to sell the mets has fallen through at the last minute because fuckbags tried to change the deal so they'd get all the money and still have full control. Dead fucking serious.

This was a fucking 2.7 billion dollar deal. And they made this man walk away. By changing the terms of the already agreed upon deal. And it's not the first time this has happened.

These guys are going to fucking own the team the rest of my life. They never really wanted to sell. This was a fucking ploy to generate interest. Make back pages, and sell tickets. Like everything they do is. They are truly deplorable. And still criminals. More fuel to the worst ownership of all time fire.

Like even if they do somehow wind up selling, which who would want to after these last 2 things, who would want to deal with them when they chang deals last minute, they are clearly only going to sell to someone who will allow them to have some sort of degree of control.

~50 million off the cap so we can reset our penalty. I dont know the specifics, just what it looks like to me. I mean basically we lost a year of Betts to get rid of Price. The Twins pitcher is a decent prospect I guess.

post-WS through now ( and probably with whatever punishment we get) has been a bummer.

yea a 2.7 billion dollar sale of a team in what would oust the worst owner in professional sports (or at least tied for worst with Dolan and Melnyk) over the last 30-some years, falling through because the owners selling were just trying to create a ruse to generate false excitement for the team in order to sell tickets, for the 2nd time in the last 10 years definitely qualifies as minor news.

There is literally no chance that he wasn't.

One thing I will say about the Red Sox though is that although I hate the franchise most of their guys are likable enough. Like I don't think Betts would willingly cheat like Bregman would, but I guess I don't really know anything.

So looks like the original Betts trade got scrapped and turned into two separate trades. Verdugo and Jeter Downs for Betts and Price. And then the Twins are trading Graterol to the Dodgers for Maeda.

Pretty funny that the Red Sox have a guy named Jeter now.
