ghost of miles Posted January 25, 2020 Report Posted January 25, 2020 More on how Andy Pettitte played a key role in getting Gerrit Cole to sign with the Yankees. Andy’s one of my all-time favorite Yankees... not surprised that Cole looked up to him when he was younger and sought his counsel so much during the meeting. AP’s not just a class act; he’s genuinely likable, and sports one of the best postseason pitching records in MLB history. Glad that he’s still part of the organization. Quote

ghost of miles Posted January 28, 2020 Report Posted January 28, 2020 No official confirmation that I can see yet, but USA Today is reporting that the Astros will name Dusty Baker as their manager. Quote

catesta Posted January 28, 2020 Report Posted January 28, 2020 The points made that Houston needed to go "old school" made sense so, this is that, but I really expected Showalter would be the pick. Quote

catesta Posted January 29, 2020 Report Posted January 29, 2020 Sheeeeeit, Dusty has some years on Buck. Quote
JSngry Posted January 29, 2020 Author Report Posted January 29, 2020 Yeah, but Buck is a CRANKY old man. Dusty is just crusty. Although, you know what they used to say, time waits for no man. Quote

Now that issue has been resolved, he may be traded. Clubs didn’t want to put offers on the table until the grievance was resolved. Quote

ghost of miles Posted February 3, 2020 Report Posted February 3, 2020 Boston Globe says a decision to trade Mookie Betts could come in the next few days. Meantime, we’re less than two weeks away from pitchers and catchers reporting, and no one’s in the Red Sox managerial seat yet, though they’ve apparently begun to interview candidates. Quote
GA Russell Posted February 3, 2020 Report Posted February 3, 2020 Shortly before the kickoff, Aaron Boone tweeted that KC would beat SF 31-20. Quote
ghost of miles Posted February 5, 2020 Report Posted February 5, 2020 Mets sale in jeopardly, apparently?! 😮 Quote
T.D. Posted February 5, 2020 Report Posted February 5, 2020 No surprise. Not a Mets fan, but long time NYC area resident and observer. It's always been clear that the Wilpons are damn near impossible to deal with, and I'm pretty sure that Cohen (being a hedge fund magnate) is extremely smart and has little stomach for BS. Quote
Brad Posted February 5, 2020 Report Posted February 5, 2020 Apparently, they tried to retrade (renegotiating a point in the late stages of a deal that you’ve given up on earlier). That’s a no no and frowned upon. There was nothing that would tick me off more than people trying to retrade. Am I shocked the Wilpons would do that? No. Quote
ghost of miles Posted February 5, 2020 Report Posted February 5, 2020 ... and Mookie Betts and David Price are apparently headed to the Dodgers. Quote

Mixed emotions about Price but I'll take Mookie even if it's only a rental. Hell yeah! Edited February 5, 2020 by Tom 1960 Quote
