Sam Menzin's legacy...before he left in disgrace.

Additionally, there are too many GM's like Harris with parallel team building and valuation philosophies. Now they have the nuclear winter lockout looming so nobody wants to do anything.

Tampa, Cleveland, and Milwakee are rigid and disciplined...they move guys before they need to pay them. The Tigers are trying to middle it without adding any risk to their portfolio. I don't care about signings..make a trade; All of these guys can't play in the majors.

He is not great at talking to the press. Needs to get flourescent golf shirts and a butt chin.

And if you're a long view guy, then you have to be consistently churning the roster with trades. There is a business reason to hold on to Skubal for another year. If they trade him now, it will be disaster at the box office.

They have no starting pitching signed beyond 2026 and nothing in the high minors. It's both a short and long term need. I don't get how waiver claims and minor league signings is the way to go. I don't see any swing and miss bullpen guys in the minors either. Just a strange way to build a major league team. They just roster hoard and think that they will win on the margins. The 'on the margins' moves like short term pitching contracts have been epic wastes of money..I just don't get it.

Imanaga accepts QO from the Cubs; Woodruff accepts QO from Milwaukee.

Gleyber has accepted the QO per Heyman.

If the Yankees win, game 1 is at 8:38 PM Eastern on FS1. If the Red Sox win, game 1 is at 4:08 Eastern on Fox. Game 2 is at 8:03 pm Eastern on FS1 either way.

CBA expires on Dec 1, 2026...I would guess that Skubal and a lot of free agents sign before that on the old rules. The nuclear winter lockout is coming.

Greene's struggle against lefties and the fact that nobody makes contact anymore. It was a daring bet that Jones could hit a single...they strike out a lot and there is no power tradeoff. I can live with no contact if they occasionally run into something.
