Books will be written about how bad Derek Jeter was at his job. Sixto rejected his outright assignment and is now a FA And if we are gonna base executive's performance on guys who blow out their arms, then all of them suck (Jeter sucked at his jobs but there are other better examples) 1

RIPPA Posted November 5, 2024 Posted November 5, 2024 Gerrit Cole is staying with the Yankees It is weird though as the Yanks didn’t want to add on the extra year but Cole didn’t really want to be a FA so they agreed that he (Cole) just play onq the 4 year deal he just opted out of.

RIPPA Posted November 12, 2024 Posted November 12, 2024 The Royals have earned a PPI* pick thanks to Bobby Witt Jr finishing as a finalist for AL MVP He becomes the first player to earn his team the extra pick via the MVP method (all the previous ones have been earned due to the player winning Rookie of the Year) Three players are eligible to earn picks the ROY this year (Jackson Merrill, Colton Cowser, Austin Wells) Notice that I have not mentioned Paul Skenes yet. That is because the Pirates called him up too late in the season to earn a PPI and they definitely would have since Skenes is a Cy Young Finalist (oh and probably will win ROY) * - Prospect Promotion Incentive 1
RIPPA Posted November 12, 2024 Posted November 12, 2024 So St Petersburg has received the report about fixing the Trop Cost will approximately be $55.7 million and the stadium would be ready for the start of the 2026 season. (Replacing the roof is basically half the bill - $23.6 million) The report itself says it probably will cost more as some things were only able to inspect visually and when actually tested that will up the cost So the next steps are the city to see how much insurance will cover and IF they want to pay for renovations for only two more seasons https://www.tampabay.com/sports/2024/11/12/tropicana-field-damage-assessment-st-petersburg-city-council-hennessy-construction/
