From what I could gather on twitter it sounds like it's not an actual prison sentence but more of 2 yr probation with it turning into prison if he violates the terms. Either way it sounds like he got off incredibly easy legally wise for what he did but financially wise it wasn't so easy. His wrong doing ended up costing him 100s of millions of dollars from the MLB cause he most certainly isn't ever going to play here again.

What a dumb*ss.  

11 years for $182 million.  Hope sleeping with a 14 year old girl was worth it.  

This dude is Mel Tucker level of stupid; although still has a way to go for Aaron Hernandez level.

Dave Parker died from Parkinson’s, he was only one year older than me at 74. 

One of my favorite post Clemente Pirates. Had a chance to see him play in A Ball in Salem Va way back when. RIP The Cobra

AL Cy Young should be interesting.  Brown, Fried, deGrom, Skubal, Bubic, and Crochet all with eras under 2.26.  Four of those guys with whips under .95.

I’d like to see Tarik get to 20 wins.  Was always the benchmark for an ace when I was growing up in the 70’s. Now it’s rarified air.

With 77 games remaining he should have 15 starts so that’s possible although he’s going to have to get some run support and the bullpen will have to be almost flawless and not blow any leads.

I thought I saw Jobe in the dugout Sunday. I didn’t think he would be with them. Maybe I hallucinated him the same way AI hallucinates “facts.“

I saw him too.

Winning 20 in the era of 5 starters is equivalent of something between 25 and 30 in the 4 starter era.

McLain started 41 games to win 31 (75.6%) . JV started 34 to win 24 (70.6%).  Skubal might get to 33 if he doesn't miss any but 31-32 is more likely. To get to 20 he'd need a ~60 winning %. To win 20 in the era of 40 starts meant your won half your starts, and that still tends to hold. 16 wins today is about the equivalent of 20 back in the day.

The other big difference is that McLain completed 28 of his starts. JV had 4 CG and averaged 7 1/3 per start the year he won 24. If you are leaving at the end of 5 or 6 it's inevitable the pen is going blow a couple of your leads and/or you team takes the lead after you've left the game. Skubal is averaging 6 1/3 this season, so that's one more inning in each game when he is not the pitcher of record compared to JV in 2011. (2 more compared to McLain in 68)

Trey Mancini opted out of his D-Backs minor league deal.  Kinda interesting because he was hitting over .300 with a .900 OPS at AAA.  I wouldn’t hate the idea of grabbing him as a Carpenter fall back option instead of still having Sweeney on the 26-man right now.

Cubs just made all three of their outs on the bases.

1. Out at home trying to score on a wild pitch

2. Picked off first

3. Picked off first

was there some insane wager on that parlay that would lead one to think it was a fix?

Comes down to whether Mancini offers enough likely upgrade over Malloy, who is already on the 40 with a 900 OPS in AAA. At Toledo it's the LH side OF depth which is pretty thin. Baddoo is it and he is off the 40 and he's not doing all that much at AAA anyway - though he's got a nice walk rate going.

Then again, even with Carpenter down we still have 4 LH bats in Det that can play OF.

Old friend Matt Boyd was the winning pitcher in that game. He's having himself a career year at 34.
