  1. Gonzalez signs! Is that the right mofo relic?
  2. Severino seems a little analogous to Lucas Giolito to me - guys who have fallen on very hard times but have actually put their elite stuff together in the past and dominated. I still wouldn't mind Gio as a 4/5 depth dude, but I wonder if that's too much gambling to have both.
  3. Interesting dude. His fastball velo is good but that's about it. He was absolute shit in every other facet last year. His baseball savant page is an hilarious wall of blue with one red indicator showing he still throws hard, but '22 has more red than a CPAC convention. His comps for movement, velo and batted ball feature names like Strider and Cole and deGrom. His ball moves a lot but batters hammered the crap out of his fastball. So hopefully they can Rick Peterson his ass back into a > 10K/9, 10+ win pitcher. Senga, Quintana, Severino and other dudes. Can I get a Yamamoto, a Cease and a side of Woodruff?
  4. I'm starting this thread to move '24 talk here, but if you'll notice, I put a cute, lil star emoji in the title because I am shopping 2023 New York Mets All-Star pitcher Kodai Senga for a big 1B or OF bat. He will make a reasonable $33 this season and would look great on your team. So don't be surprised if you get a trade offer from the Cicely Marmots! Alternately, feel free to slide into my trade DMs!
  5. The presale email went out and we registered. No idea how much tickets will be, but hoping we can make it happen. Anyone else thinking about it?
  6. Penn Murfee got non-tendered tonight by the Braves. This poor fella's been dumped three times in three weeks.
  7. When the Post is picking up votes, the competition is slacking
  8. The Padres owner Peter Seidler died today (https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/11/padres-owner-peter-seidler-passes-away.htmllink). First, rest in peace, guy. But number two, the Pads https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/padres-took-out-50-million-loan-to-help-cover-payroll-per-report-could-juan-soto-trade-help-cut-costs/ borrowed $50M to cover expenses this year and were planning to cut payroll big time. Who knows how that changes now with ownership to change or shift hands.

"Perhaps I should clarify with regard to formalities. Let's still try and maintain some decorum, this being a professional, public forum and all." "I'm sorry. Who the fuck is Ben Yoel, Sir?" Can't you see he has a blue checkmark?!?
  10. COOKIE MONSTERS is a very nice cover

That line was just so funny for me. I'd want that on my tombstone if I'm Peterson. Here lies David Peterson Not many people's idea of a great pitcher RIP
  13. Maybe he failed his physical
  14. "I know he's not many people's idea of a great pitcher" has me dying every time I read it.
  15. SQUIRREL GETS HIS NUTS with that McGrin
  16. Looks like a dude who made a wild-ass bet with long odds and won
  17. Re-reading this 11 months later was something.
  18. Benjamin Grimm wrote: My guess is that they reconsidered their original cover when a later edition came out. FUNDING is proving to be more popular than SIGNING, and if I recall correctly, FUNDING was the earlier cover. Newsday suit: "Hey, FUNDING NIMMO is a pretty funny, pop culture pun and people like it, so lets whack it for the afternoon edition."
  19. Why did Newsday have two slightly different covers?
  20. Here's the rest of the story (from Metsmerized): his season ended due to needing Tommy John surgery in July. He's expected to be out all of 2024, but he will have five years of team control left starting next year. OE - posted the same time as Seo. Later The blurb I read (https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/mets-penn-murfee-claimed-by-mets/CBS Sports) sez he had surgery in July and could be second-half help. Here's hoping.
  21. He's a side-armer and https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/penn-murfee-682171?stats=statcast-r-pitching-mlbstatcast loves his ass. He's recovering from TJ surgery, so maybe a second half arm. I love that the Mets are doing stuff like this. [media=youtube]mtOlj9sSst0[/media]
  22. The rare right-handed reliever who can't hit 90 but his numbers are otherwise pretty good.
