So he'll be signing a one-year deal in the middle of spring training, then.
Ken Rosenthal “suspects” Alex Bregman and Scott Boras are “aiming higher” than most projections. “Specifically, at a deal closer to 11-year, $350M deal that Manny Machado signed in February 2023”

Honestly, if the Yankees let Juan Soto leave, they should never win anything again. Curse of the Childish Bambino, we'll call it. They're the Yankees, for gosh sakes, and he's 26. Do whatever it takes.

I'm 40 today. Kind of cool, kind of weird. I thought I'd be feeling older by now, like getting hurt/tired easier. I don't know why. I enjoyed my 30s more than my 20s, though the two decades together felt more like seven years. God willing, I'll get 40 more.

I've tried from the time they could walk to get my boys interested in baseball, and they didn't care, didn't care, didn't care. And then one day, they start reading everything they can get their hands on, and within a couple weeks' time, we're having conversations like this . .

There isn't a single MLB team that thinks Brandon Belt is a top 10 first baseman right now. Your method is flawed.
Who’s on first? If it’s one of these 10, you should be happy. @MLBNetwork presents the #Top10RightNow first basemen.

I like baseball and all, but that is some can-miss TV.
Brandon Belt's at-bat took 12 minutes. The top of the first took 28 minutes. The Angels threw 49 pitches. THE GIANTS DID NOT SCORE.

Kids are changing all the time, with a speed that most grownups would find dizzying, so be careful not to draw conclusions too soon. Their interests are as fleeting as they are all-consuming, and your influence is continual -- with patience and persistence, perhaps even good.

I suppose any hitting prospect could do anything when he's called up, but when ones as high-end as Wyatt Langford, Jackson Chourio and Jackson Holliday all falter, I don't know how to muster excitement for the next to come along.

More old men ranting about spreadsheets. I'm not saying things can't improve, but when "hire dumber people" is the only solution these guys can come up with, I don't know that we need to listen to them anymore.
They grew up loving the game, made a fabulous living playing/managing the game, but now decry how the modern game of baseball has turned into nightly Home Run Derby, calling it ‘Unwatchable'.

Chiming in here . I don't treat money lightly enough that I can sink several hundred dollars into a league and still enjoy it. It turns what should be a leisure activity into a legitimate stressor. So instead, I try to find competitive people and play for competition's sake.
@CTowersCBS I saw another analyst say last week that if there isn’t significant money on the line, it’s not a serious league and no one could get super competitive about a league without money on the line. A completely insane take.

This season is fine — fulfilling, even, in the number of storylines being brought full circle, the most important being that of Daenerys, whose ruthless tendencies have just barely been kept in check over the course of the series.

It's amazing to think that Juan Soto, celebrated from his first year in the majors as one of the best hitters in the game and a likely hall of famer, is on his third team at age 25.

The "buzz" around it is an electrified fence telling you not to go there.
Rob Manfred says there’s “buzz” around adding the “Golden At-Bat” rule, where a team could choose one at-bat in every game to use its best hitter regardless of where they are in the lineup. This would be the dumbest rule implementation in the history of professional sports.

I maintain that MLB's best playoff format was the two wild cards with the play-in game. No byes, no series shorter than best-of-five, still a big advantage for winning the division.

Just another example of how putting mics on the players would raise the entertainment value exponentially. Hearing what a pitcher is muttering to himself on the mound? It's wonderful.

Don't care. Freddie Freeman's heart belonged to the Braves, and they just cast him out the cold after he won them a World Series. I've never seen such a callous move from a front office, turning its back on family like that. Someone else can root for Matt Olson.
@CBSScottWhite I literally do feel bad for you (and all of the ATL). Having said that, Olson is a pretty darn good consolation.
