Of course it's not - Olympic baseball is largely irrelevant. It's in middle of baseball season and none of the best players in the world...
Or the flipside is that if the Red Sox were really desperate for a 3B, they easily could have beat the Suarez offer. That indicates they are...
Kind of - he had surgery in April 2023 and returned in summer 2024. Then he had the offseason and then the 2025 season was 2 years post-surgery....
Yeah, I get that part. I think it made sense when it was an experiment to use it as glorified ST. But now that people apparently take it...
These seem like awful criteria for "chronic injuries". A broken bone that cost someone 2 months would be chronic? A stubbed toe that caused...
Deferring only shifts when the money is paid out, but he still earns the full amount based on this year so they'd have to insure whatever his...
Burrows made it through 6 innings once last year. He only made it through 5 in 5 of his 19 starts. He might get there eventually, but I doubt he's...
It would have been literally the week after that! We went the last week in March - I was there during the 2nd weekend of March Madness.
I've only been to Lisbon (and Madeira island) but I thought it was amazing. Super laid back culture, really affordable compared to other major...
Unfortunately, if that happens, it means they've dug themselves into a pretty big hole and are probably going to waste 2026.
The Espada question is interesting. I would have fired him at the end of last season simply because there were too many questionmarks to waste a...

Jonah Heim is unlikely to accept a backup catcher job at this point - he can wait until spring training to see if a starter position opens up or...
Agreed. The courts have made a mess of this. Every reasonable rule the NCAA tries to implement gets killed by the courts. They tried a...
I don't think anyone is required to play. People want to play - similar to the Olympics, World Cup, etc. We don't prioritize it much in the US,...
I don't know when leagues around the world play, but from an MLB perspective, I'm not sure why this thing doesn't just happen immediately after...
Agreed that the whole thing is stupid, but Mensah was 2nd in the nation in both passing yards and TDs. I think he's considered one of the top...
EPA is one of the truly dumb stats someone invented. It doesn't account for any real world conditions - like playing a top defense or playing in a...
Of course nobody has to play them. Teams want to play them. It helps the team, brings in money, its great for the fans, etc. It doesn't even help...
Miami only got into the CFP because they played and beat ND. A&M would have been a borderline CFP team without their win over Notre Dame - only 1...
