Listen to this triggered bitch attempt to justify his 1 title in 22 years



George would have fired him a dozen times by now. The Yankees have lost their way

I’m always amazed after every few years to learn Cashman is STILL the GM for the Yankees

It's based off his last name only.

It's too good not to be the GM.

With Washington in now as Anaheim’s skipper, odds of Shoey signing back with us just got much better lfg!

Olney saying there's a 100% chance of a Soto trade before the next season.

Only worth trading for if there is an extension involved

Cubs apparently like Rhys Hoskins. I'd like if he went there, assuming it's not a ridiculous contract.

If he can stay healthy, he's good for hitting around 30 home runs. Not a superstar or even star but not a terrible player by any means.

He's on the wrong side of 30 though and coming off a season-ending injury before last season began.

Boob Nightengale says we're longshots on Ohtani so it sounds like Ohtani will in fact be a New York Met

Not too tough to find 25 HR at 1B or corner OF if Harper is playing 1B. No big loss for the Phillies. But I'll always love him for his bat spike after crushing that pussy on Atlanta.

Not suggesting Nola's gone from Philly, but he has a brother platooning with the Padres, and they both have a sick uncle (or dad?) probably down near Baton Rouge (Stros & Rangers could be in play here with proximity)

Hancock and Miller for Soto.

Not shocking but Shohei for the AL and Acuna for the NL MVPs.

Silly to me they wait so long to declare these.

No surprise though indeed.

It should be announced right after the season ends, during the early playoffs. Similar to the NBA.

Although I’d love Ohtani on cubs not sure how I feel. 60 million a year for 10-12 years for mostly a DH and maybe 3-4 years of 100ish inning pitching wise.

Have to wonder if that money is better spend getting two elite players or 3 upper tier players.

You essentially are getting 2 elite players if you sign him.

An ace who can lead your team in home runs.

I also think he makes so much sense at Wrigley.

But how long is he that two way player? Needing his 2nd TJ surgery by age 29 isn’t exactly great.

I’ll be pumped if we get him but gotta realize you are only getting that two way elite play for at most 25-35% of the contract length. The rest of the time he will be an extremely expensive DH.
