One of the brothers was blacklisted after both of them flaked out on their contracts with DeNA last year. Wonder how that will play out.

No, it's their newsletter thing which is really just useful for pre-sale access

I had the pleasure of listening to a Samurai Jonny Gomes song on the way into work today.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Huge congrats to the A's East on extending Donaldson.

Meanwhile, Zack Erwin and Jeff Wendelken, the two minor league relievers Jays West get for Lawrie, prepare to enjoy minor league camp and class A. Blarhf.

 

[jello44]

Castro lost his arb hearing.

hahahahaha

All that for a measly 250k.

 

[Silver Arrows]

If everyone that made fun of the Mariners got banned...

Too bad nobody gives a shit about the Mariners except him.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Nope, he has one more year of arb after this two year deal.

So he's gonna be 34 when he actually hits Free Agency? Fuck that sucks for him.

 

[rando14]

If everyone that made fun of the Mariners got banned...

You'll see, you'll all see!!!!!

No

Too bad nobody gives a shit about the Mariners except him.

 

[CygnusXS]

My one and only ban stemmed from making fun of the Mariners, so there is precedent.

I don't get why their mascot isn't just an actual giant human being.

It's a reference to the old SF Seals minor league team that was in town until the Giants came in.

The Giants celebrate all aspects of their past, unlike the Doyers!

the Dodgers mascot should be a 70s Draft Dodger. And the Padres can have a Leather Daddy.

 

[3N16MA]

Who is posting the regular season thread? I need an A-Rod centaur pic in there.

Mat Latos to the White Sox for $3 Million. That seems like a steal even if he is a cancer.

Doyers are probably signing Lazarito tomorrow.

Why does the rest of the league even try?

Would say Cubs and Mets are better positioned because of their controllable talent. But the Dodgers are pretty deep and have a seemingly limitless payroll.

Yulieski (the older one) is hitting .494/.586/.861 in league play right now (216 PA).

I guess other teams are left to fend for international FA scraps (Mainly Korean talent, even then they go to the Doyers)

Impending rule change meant to alter slides to second, not eliminate them

So whenever the final, negotiated rule change is announced in the month ahead -- as reported Monday night, MLB and the union have found common ground, and the expectation is that something will be finalized for the 2016 season -- the players' association will have honored that overwhelming sentiment from the players and ensured that baserunners will continue to have the opportunity to break up double plays. If a fielder is in the baseline between second base and first base, the runner will still be allowed to crash into the defender.

What the new rules will do is outlaw slides in which the baserunners go beyond the effort to get to second base and instead target the fielders. If the middle infielder is clearly on the left-field side of second base, sources say, the runners will not be able to go over the bag to hit the fielder; if the fielder is out of the baseline, as Tejada was when he was hit by Utley, the baserunner won't be allowed to hit the fielder. Late slides aimed only to hit the fielder, without regard to getting to second base -- and a lot of players perceived Utley's slide to be late -- will be outlawed.

Us mariners fans are still here, lurking. This is our year!

If I say this every year till the day I die, it'll be true one of those years.
