how does Hicklen (a few days) out earn Kreidler (a few weeks)? is Nido's salary that high because he is a 5 year vet, or did he get some ML roster bonus?

with GS desperate to keep series going for a small chance that Curry returns, Butler took 9 and 11 shots in the last 2 games.

they are 1 win ahead of CWS which seems impossible. right after Elias fires Hyde, he should launch and investigation to see who the heck signed FOUR free agent pitchers over 35, and brought back Gregory Soto! maybe he is too busy shining the plaques from Baseball America

Bregman is going to opt out and go into free agency again, this time with no draft pick attached, and possibly with a monster platform season. He is currently on track for 8 WAR. So far, it looks like he made right call to go to Boston.

sorry to be that guy, but MAGA thinks (perhaps correctly) that you described their winning formula

Boom. Boss man surrenders to China, markets soar! Stocks Soar as Trump Blows Up His Trademark Tariff Policy

he's a switch hitter that play 3 up the middle positions, so not crazy to think he could have some up and down ML career. but probably needs to leave the organization, as he won't pass the players above him, and is about to get run over from below

boom. Bossman turns to social media to negotiate his self-surrender to China, getting nothing in return.

horrible value. Brad Holmes should have traded down, could have added 2 future Cardinals, a few Bishops or maybe even a monsignor. good culture fit but huge overpay. Mel Kiper's grade for Leo pick: C-

Hicklen had 3,000 minor league plate appearances before his first hit!

you can trace all that back to the challenge at 1b

don't NEED home runs but no objections to home runs

yes

goodness, Javy's such a good player. no one thought he would be this impactful

Biden's gonna pay a big price for Trump's insensitivity towards Joe Sixpack

sportswriters are desperate for the Tigers to draft Jack Bauer at 24 https://www.mlb.com/milb/news/mlb-pipeline-2025-mock-draft-may-6?t=mlb-draft-coverage 24. Tigers: Slater de Brun, OF, Summit HS, Bend, Ore. (No. 25) As a smaller, lefty-hitting sparkplug from the Pacific Northwest, de Brun has a lot of similarities to Corbin Carroll at the same stage of their careers.

I have no issue if they leave McGonigle at SS for now, but seeing Rainer play, I think it is clear he is SS of the future (and maybe a better prospect than Max soon)

all 5 teams won last night, Vierling DH at Tol, 1/2, HR, K, 2 BB last year's 11th round pick, 6-7 LHR Micah Ashman from baseball powerhouse the University of Utah, is having a nice year at WMI (SSS)

I believe that's Cernownyk's 1st at bats in 20 months. drafted in 23, played 2 games, hurt knee, hurt elbow in 24. was a guy identified early on by Lynn Henning as a borderline HOF player.

Brad's not perfect, but his vision of what to build and how to built that, clearly works, so he gets the benefit of the doubt. Also, the draft ITSELF is a data point, so if Bradyn Swinson, DE, LSU is ranked pre-draft as a 3rd round talent and no team drafts him in the 1st 5 rounds, then your pre-draft ranking looks incorrect. NE got him in the 6th, which might be great value or exactly where he should have been picked.

approaching Sparky's 40-game checkpoint. getting Vierling, Rogers, Meadows (Margot or Perez) back basically gives them a new player to add every month if ever healthy, this is a deep and versatile line up Dingler/Rogers, Tork/Keith, Torres, Sweeney/Baez, McKinstry/Ibanez, Greene, Meadows, Carpenter/Vierling with Malloy, Jung, Perez, and maybe Nido and Margot at Toledo I assume they are going to be in contention (or 1st) at the trading deadline, but unless he is trading for an elite player, it will be difficult for Harris to improve the position players enough to justify messing with the chemistry. Maybe Ibanez could be replaced. Maybe add at CF or SS. But they have decent internal choices already. On the pitching side, adding a RP who throws serious heat is the one thing they might need.
