    I'm guessing Freeman won World Series MVP? Didn't stay up for the ceremonies.
    was the unanmoius MVP. His 12 RBIs tied the record set by Bobby Richardson with the Yankees in 1960.
    And that 1960 series went seven games and, despite losing the series, the Yankees scored the most runs ever in a series with 55. So for Freeman to tie Richardson in only five games is incredible. 
    Another fun fact about that series.  Pittsburgh hit a Homerun in the first game and last game with ZERO in between.
    Oh it's the most fascinating World Series ever. The Yankees outscored the Pirates 55-27 but lost the series. Their wins were blowouts (16-3, 10-0, 12-0), and their loses were all by three runs or less, including losing game 7 10-9 on the Mazeroski walk-off. And Richardson, despite being on the losing team, was voted MVP. I wonder if there's a support group for him, Chuck Howley (Super Bowl 5 MVP), and Jerry West (1969 Finals MVP).

    I'm trying to think of the series where the Yankees clobbered the other team for 3 games and the other team barely had any runs but won.  I didnt think it was this one...

    I said “in language I can understand.”
    basically it means a MLB team pays a fee for the rights to negotiate with a given player, kind of PSL in stadiums where people pay for the right to own a seat.

    I’ve read and re-read the process. specifically, this is what I don’t understand. what is “bonus pool money” and how does it help you? The difference between $2.5M and $1M is MLB peanuts. fuck it, just let the d**gers have him….they get everyone else. :angry:

    I guess the confusion might be LA just signed two huge stars from Japan  for over a billion dollars, so how would they have any money left?

    He won't get crazy money.  He will get a fair price first. Like they did w Ohtani.

    Pretty good article detailing all the CBA stuff and how it applies specifically to Sasaki:

    https://www.mlb.com/news/roki-sasaki-faq

    Unless he just wants to get the deal done ASAP, he should ask his team to wait and post him for the 2025 signing cycle. He would be able to get more money and be able to negotiate with all teams, should he want to do so.

    Royals traded Singer.  He was pretty good.  Not sure why theyd lose an arm and get India?

    Because he can't get out hitters from one side of yhe plate.
    (I'm a Reds fan and sorry to see India go)

    Brady's only stuck to his sinker and slider.  Tried a change up and it just gets way too much of the plate.  My feeling is the organization was tried of him not trying to develop and stick with a third pitch.
    Plus they feel they have the depth to cover his rotation spot if they don't sign someone in FA (maybe resign Michael Lorenzen) to replace him (Marsh, Bubic, AAA prospect Noah Cameron).

    Yeah I was stoked, overall, and then I read through some of the stats on his pitching to lefties.  
    Hoping the fact that he is a ground ball pitcher can help at GABP, but still....lefties demolish him.

    glanow 150(?)

    that’s like two BILLION dollars.

    royals gave witt jr. what? 300+? but what else can they? then there’s F’me’s reds.

    He's good 3rd or 4th guy in a rotation.  Can pile up innings too.  I'm happy we got India.  Our leadoff hitters slashed .228/.270/.334.  Also if Wiemer can be a 4th outfielder or platoon guy against lefties, that would be a win too.

    India is a dude.
    I think he can be above ave hitter, on bass guy. And fielder.
    A dude, overall, though.  Kind of guy every team needs.
