RIP Tim McCarver. I’ve listened to him call 100’s of games.

He was behind the plate many times for Bob Gibson

And just reading Vlad Jr not resigning so if Blue Jays have no chance for playoffs do they trade him?
And does anyone buy him without a contract worked out?
Going to guess with another very good 2025 season, maybe 10y/400M to at least 12y/500m?

Toronto already with big payroll probably made a great offer with no luck. See slim-to-no chance he stays in Toronto when Bichette and maybe Bassitt I think need to be resigned. This from Vlad ..... "My dad played a lot of years, and he never won the World Series," Guerrero said. "And I always say my personal goal is to win a World Series and give the ring to my dad. So that's all I'm looking for."

Though money does usually do the talking but Yanks being contenders every year could give him both. Goldschmidt just a one year signing. LA, ATL, PHI not in the market! Maybe Alonso has GREAT year and tells Mets to FU and Cohen has to top the Dodgers in craziness?

Vlad definitely gonna go somewhere for the second half. Blue Jays gonna get back a haul. Then Jays, Yanks and Mets will duke it out for what you guessed 10/400 - 13/550.

Artie is on the hook for Rendon's entire contract. He doesn't believe in paying insurance for contracts (serious).

 

[Archie]

awesome

 

[Archie]

very mediocre NL central. will be interesting to see who tries to make big splash moves before the deadline

Look at the Mets, Braves, and Phillies totals. Can't see all three above 90 but if it happens not good for the other two! . Good news for them at least MLB incorporates the new schedule!
