I was out of town when Rickey Henderson died, so I didn't really follow the conversation.  Fuck Mushnick.  Rickey Henderson is easily the best baserunner of all time and it isn't close.  The object of the game is to score runs, and Rickey Henderson scored more than anyone in history.  Absolutely every part of his game was about getting back to home plate.  Waiting until Rickey Henderson died to write a column calling him overrated is bullshit.  If anything he's underrated, because people like Mushnick spent his entire career saying the dude who scored more runs than anyone in history wasn't trying hard enough.  Fuck him, he's a bitch, and no one should take him seriously (unless he's talking about Vince).

The Mets have said they expect Pete Alonso to sign elsewhere as their contract negotiations have come to an impasse.

RIP to Bob Ueker.  I don't know if there is a better story of how great of a guy you are than Bob Gibson, who may be the meanest motherfucker of all time, got fined for holding your hand and laughing during team photos.  If you can make Bob Gibson a total goofball, at the very least, you have to be a good hang.  Plenty of people try to be funny around sports, but I don't know if any have been better than Ueker.

Roki Sasaki announced he was going to the Dodgers 

So glad his agent did the ridiculous dog and pony show for the last 6 weeks

So at what point can we start calling the Dodgers the Evil Empire?

They became the Evil Empire when they signed Ohtani.

They always were. They just had enough lean years most of y’all forgot 😉

Dodgers sign Tanner Scott because of course they did

4 years, $72 million

There is deferred money because of course there is

$21 million is deferred

The Blue Jays were "in on Scott" but failed to land him because of course they were

The Jays actually signed someone!

Anthony Santander for 5 years, $92.5 million (opt out after 3)

We will just ignore the fact that reportedly Santander had the offer for a month and finally accepted because no one else was giving him close to that contract

Posted

It should be noted that Santander deferred around $35 million of his contract

In this case - many are speculating it is because of the difference between US and Canadian tax laws

Also - the Jays can override his opt out by adding a 6th year at $17.5 million

The Dodgers signed Kirby Yates. Can't seem to find the terms. He was lights out last year - 1.17 ERA while averaging 13K/9.

Obviously, the answer to the Dodgers is to add 4 more teams to the playoffs, make every 3rd home run a MEGA HR worth 5 funs, and half price Celsius energy drinks after 3 innings.

There's a freebie for you, Commissioner.

Alonso is in talks with Toronto and a deal may be imminent.

Launching Manfred into Dark Space is also part of the solution 

(John Fisher, Bob Nutting, and Jerry Reinsdorf can go with him)

Nutting, Fisher, and Reinsdorf is a punchline waiting to happen.

Whom would you punch first?

I’d wind up, reach way back like a Hulk Hogan punch, and try to Stooge Slap all three of them as close to simultaneously as possible

Anyone got a Coal Miner’s Glove I can borrow?
