Wait did baseball start today? The game in Cuckrea counts for real?

MLB had the bright idea to open the season in Korea so that it's not on in any normal time zone in America and also at the perfect time to get drowned out by March Madness.

So Ohtanis translator got fired and he can now opt out of his contract should he choose. Lol

Would rather have Yamamoto. This offseason is Yamamoto or bust.

J.D. Martinez to the Mets.

1/12

[kobeunderbite]

Top-10 OPS from last season for a 1-year deal and pennies, with most of it deferred, David Stearns flashing his genius once again. Great protection for Pete and worst case if we're out of the race he'll be flipped for another top-100 prospect.

Nimmo
Lindor
Alonso
Martínez
McNeil
Álvarez
Marte
Baty
Bader

The real question is Marte's health, if he's actually fit the Mets will have at least 7/9 guys hitting 20+ HR which will be tops in the league

[Odogg]

J.D. Martinez to the Mets.

1/12

7.5m deferred to the 2030s. Another L for Boras. But this should solidify the Mets position as the highest payroll. Lets see if they can get back to .500 now.

JD and Severino outperforming Ohtani and Yamamoto in the DS is gonna hit like crack

Boras got his skull caved in this year. May be time to think about retirement Scotty

I am hearing Montgomery to the Cubs one year $7m.

I don't really fully know the issue going on with the tv deals but even if that played a role here everyone knew from the start that Snell and Montgomery were way overvaluing themselves. I give him a pass with Martinez because no way should he end up with less money than Justin Turner but supposedly JD got the same offer as Soler and didn't want to go to San Francisco. I know there were other boras clients but I forget who

Two straight years with Opening Day rained out is absolutely terrible.

Bellinger got the 3/80 deal with opt outs which was not bad. Chapman only got 3/54 but he cannot hit any more. But Snell and Montgomery were skull cavers. Snell could had the 6/150 with Yanks.

Bellinger for sure should have cleared $100 or $150 in guarantees with opt-outs, I would call that a pretty big disaster as well. Chapman does low-key kind of suck so I agree that he's a different category.

Shame to not have more retractable roofs. Opening day being postponed is lame.

Wander Franco placed on leave by Tampa until investigation is complete.

Don’t they already have proof of him sexting with 14 year olds? Dafuq more are they investigating?

[kobeunderbite]

No 1:00 EST starts today, what a disaster. MLB has no idea what it is doing.

Yea it nearly seems cemented that he's done as a baseball player in the MLB.

He can play baseball for whatever prison he's in though.
