There was a ceasefire. However, going into it anyone with any knowledge of this situation knew it would be temporary. Bibi has made it very clear that until stated goals are accomplished, Israel isn’t backing off.
-
Miggie believes in long farewell tours. And yes, he is expecting parting gifts at every stop.
-
Farhan Zaidi says the Giants offered Ohtani the same deal LA did but Ohtani chose the Dodgers. Not surprising.
-
Rob Manfred approves.
-
Consensus from what I’ve read is that it is an overpay by quite a bit. Apparently he was a Boras guy. I guess Boras knew SF was in desperation mode to produce a signing and took full advantage of the situation, which is what he gets paid to do.
-
Six year deal with an opt out after four years.
-
Freaky indeed. Turns out the night shift guy was the Great Gazoo!
-
He’ll make more than that now. He’d probably be a better agent than a lot of them out there now. It’s hard not to like the guy. Being a Dodger will give me reason to try though.
-
Piss on the Feds but I agree with your above point 100%. It defeats the purpose of the luxury tax entirely.
-
This should set the Dodgers up nicely to grab Yamamoto. I have to wonder if Ohtani’s plan didn’t have Yamamoto in mind to begin with when constructing the contract. I don’t think you’d get players in many other countries/cultures, if any, to agree to this type deal. Two million a year? Huge egos can’t survive on a paltry two million a year.
-
Deferred salary aside, Ohtani’s per game salary comes out to about $436,000 over the 10 year deal. Over $100,000 per at bat.
-
No contest. Betty was totally hot.
-
To borrow a line from John McEnroe, ‘You can’t be serious.’ Yamamoto is meeting with the Yankees tomorrow. Scott Harris would be the very last guy with any interest in him due to cost. Hader ain’t happening either.
-
Would not be at all surprised.
-
I was joking about a lawsuit.
-
I chose the wrong team…
-
I fully expect other owners file law suits.
-
…or the Skyline Chili.

September of 2016.
-
Yes, with AJ Hinch. I heard it was lights out.
-
Just for fun they should ask him where Aleppo is.
-
At the rate this week is going for the Tigers, the biggest story will be the Harris/Hinch bromance.
-
Come Monday, it’ll be alright.
-
Patrick McHenry has announced that he will not seek re-election to congress.

Anybody that seriously thought this organization was going to be a player this week was way too optimistic. When participation in the Rule 5 draft is the highlight of the winter meetings for a team, it’s pretty disappointing. But it is what I expected. If Detroit wins this division, they’ll come in the back door. is it spring training yet?
