MLB 2025 Except the Yankee's

[Mike in Horseheads]

LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman was out of the lineup Monday night against the Atlanta Braves after slipping in the shower and hurting his surgically repaired right ankle.

"He had a little mishap entering the shower," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "Kind of swelled up a little bit."

The Sox extended Campbell eight years yesterday.  He rocketed up the prospect charts last year and made the team this Spring.  There’s some risk with the reward for them.

 

The Padres locked in Merrill for nine.  There’s risk in everything but this kid has to to on the low side of that.  He converted from SS to CF as a rookie and played like a veteran star the entire year.  He was likely to get a giant contract about four seconds after team control expired.  He’s one of the most fun players to watch in MLB IMO. The bat control and plate discipline at that age aren’t something you normally see.

Padres only hope for derailing the Dodgers.
 

As far as signings, O’s and Henderson. 🤷‍♂️

IMO O's have already blown the chance to extend Henderson and Rutchman , they be gone in a few years

Guerrero and Jays agree to $500M, 14-year deal now. No deferrals. Full no trade. Signing bonus included, too.

He broke his vow of saying he won’t negotiate during the regular season.

 

Hope it was worth it.

@Mike in Horseheads Maybe you should have taken the under on wins.  Chicago White Sox still suck!

Never been there. Which is an oddity since I've a big fan of the game and the history (thanks in large part to my grandfather).

Thinking about going, but wondering if it's more contemporary than I expect.

Go.  The whole town is great.  If you golf bring clubs if you can get on the Otesaga.  I went a long time ago and I’m sure the exhibits rotate but the plaques alone are worth going.  Check out Doubleday Field down the street.

Willie Mays and Hank Aaron weren't even in the Hall of Fame at that time!

Last time there I didn’t check out the town or the field. I just looked online, the area looks like there’s quite a bit around town to do. Throw in nearby Howes Cavern and it looks like a 3 day/2 night getaway. Thanks.

Thought they were, but you gave me a better perspective of why to go. Lots of great players to see from the late ‘70’s through ’90’s, which I don’t think of as old timers, but are. 

 

I just looked at the inductees from 1980 on up, and up to 2015, there were more players I followed in there than I realized. My concern about it being too modern and out of my realm was ill conceived. Thanks.

 

I’m pumped about going.
