SMALL BALLERS GON LOOK MLB 2022 THREAD, Honkballers can't look and Umpires can't see

[BasinBictory]

I wish BUMgartner tried to do that to any of the Latin players he hated so much. He'd have gotten his bitch ass flattened.

Fuck you, Don Orsillo and Mark Grant are national treasures.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

It’s a meme dude

 

[CJ_24]

 

[Southpaw]

He definitely doesn’t have 5 years left in him.

 

[Karl Hungus]

Pirates, babby! Best owners in baseball.

 

[CJ_24]

 

[Southpaw]

Prolly wasn’t a strike either.

 

[ZackMills]

Make that Major League HOFer!

 

[goblue96]

Hasn't pitched in a full 162-game season since 2019...he's toast.

 

[Skeeter]

Make that Major League HOFer!

I sent the same picture to my friends today. That Tom emansky hat was iconic

 

[Mr. Radpants]

That should be his bust

[Wolfman21]

Back in the NL East…great

 

[goblue96]

I see no problem with it.

 

[Mame YO]

I'm here for Kate Upton.

Baseball sucks

Cubs looking at Xander Bogaerts and Dansby Swanson, whose names were generated by EA Sports

 

[Mr. Radpants]

The MLB lottery is a crock of crap and Manfred should be fired.

 

[Southpaw]

Reports out there that the padres offered Turner a bigger deal than the Phillies. He wanted to go to the east coast.

Seems crazy unless Preller is doing the unthinkable and looking to deal Tatis? Or he’s not going to try to re sign Soto? Both of which those moves would be asinine.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Soto isn’t inclined to sign an extension. He’s looking for $500M+

Makes sense that they would have tried to gauge interest on an extension, got a no, and be willing to make the big play on someone else now and get a couple years of peak Turner with Soto.

[Karl Hungus]

You definitely won't be surprised at where the batter-friendly balls showed up.

Padres offered $41 million more than Philly.

[goblue96]

Phillies sign Taljuan Walker...4/72

 

[pavel]

I know a million people here from PA. Turner is literally the only person I know who would pick Philly over SD, lol

 

[Mame YO]

Yeah, but what does his wife look like?

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Wut

 

[Wolfman21]

damn...Padres offer a near combined 100 million more for Turner and Judge.........and get neither.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

No one wants to live in that flyover tundra San Diego

 

[Mr. Radpants]

F Judge and Soto would have been amazing

 

[goblue96]

damn...Padres offer a near combined 100 million more for Turner and Judge.........and get neither.

 

[pavel]

Judge's HR numbers would go down ~25% just going from Yankee Stadium to Petco, so I understand the reluctance.

Not to mention he wouldn't be getting the juiced balls anymore

 

[Wolfman21]

Bogaerts to the Padres for 11 years, 280 million.

So whats up with all these long ass contracts recently? Paying dudes til they turn 40?

 

[Southpaw]

Padres want every shortstop in the league.

In a way it's like the Nats deferring salary, except the players get the stability (or perceived stability) the extra years give them. It's a method of lowering the AAV and getting the deal done.

 

[Southpaw]

So I am guessing Kim to 2b, Crone to 1B, Tatis to CF?

 

[Skeeter]

Have to think tatis is getting moved

 

[Orlando]

Wtf are the padres doing?

 

[Southpaw]

I was reading the padres Reddit and seems like now with no shift and the DH in the NL, there is a priority on athletic and utility guys. They now have 3-4 guys who can play pretty much any infield position. Hopefully they re-sign Drury as well and he can do the same.

I think they are also worried Machado could opt out and they won’t be able to re-sign Soto.

Yeah, i mean...i get that. But Bogaerts is over 30 already and they just handed him an 11 year deal. Ill be interested in the terms to see if the contract is front loaded easing some of that pain on the back end. But 25+ mil per year for age years 35-41 of a player is.....an interesting decision. Should help them in the short term, and if they're gonna be spending Yankee/Dodger money it won't really hinder them i guess

 

[BearDownUofA]

Probably Tatis in left, Grisham in center and Soto in right.

 

[Brick]

fuck my life CONNOR gone @Travis7401

 

[Southpaw]

Correa agrees to a 350 million dollar contract and then if got put on hold today due to a “medical issue”. PEDs?
