key there is "non-actionable" as they are far different than what any actual sportsbook odds would be

Re: 2022/2023 MLB Offseason thread
The Yankees would also be a part of "The Field" if those were real odds, which yeah. I'll take that bet at +700.

Not much about Chaim bloom thst would make me think the sox are a player here.
Re: 2022/2023 MLB Offseason thread
If the market out west doesn't materialize as much as anticipated, Bloom not driving up the price (really, in terms of years) would be a fireable offense.

I'd call that bluff
Re: 2022/2023 MLB Offseason thread
He can try to price drive but that requires Judge's team to work with them and NY to see them as a threat. A team that willingly lets Mookie Betts walk isn't going to be a $40MM per year player for Aaron Judge. Giants and Mets are both serious enough its not necessary or believable.

So Jim Crane just shoved GM James Click out the door today.

Which reminds me of one thing hockey does better than every other US sport: when a team wins the title, the Cup is presented to the players first.

BFJ is the town wizard who runs a magic shop. He also has a golem that he has trained to attack anti-Semites.

well this is gonna be someone's new signature - bronto
Re: 2022/2023 MLB Offseason thread
Seems like a weird signing but not exactly a FO I'd question.
Missed this but I'm assuming because he was a media guy and they all love a nice narrative.
Re: 2022/2023 MLB Offseason thread
Signing Abreu makes sense when you figure the window of contention is probably about the length of the deal and he should be able to produce for at least the first couple of years of the three. Will be curious if this means they're not going to try and re-sign Verlander though. Seems like even at the salary he'll command would make sense to bring him back for at least one more year.

Re: 2022/2023 MLB Offseason thread
Did not expect the Mets for Verlander.
Hold on, I'm trying to see if Jack London ever gets this fire built or not.
Re: 2022/2023 MLB Offseason thread
At least it wasn't the dodgers.

Re: 2022/2023 MLB Offseason thread
Taking Kate Upton to LA or NY is not surprising in the least, and especially the Mets after losing deGrom.
How do you all get your death notices since I left?
Re: 2022/2023 MLB Offseason thread
Verlander already lives in LA in the offseason, so NY is a little surprising given how long of a flight it is, but with the money he's made and will be making I guess that kind of stuff is irrelevant.

I mean, this is all good fun, but I would be very surprised if the actual reporting was wrong.

Assuming that story is true I'm not sure how its not illegal (unless they can acknowledge the variances but successfully claim they weren't aware?).
Re: 2022/2023 MLB Offseason thread
This will be a little tempest in a teapot, after the Giants officially sign him.

Re: 2022/2023 MLB Offseason thread
I don't listen to WFAN much anymore but when I do I love to hear callers saying things like "I'm despondent this morning. I'm mourning the loss of the lure of New York." with as much earnestness as they can muster.

Re: 2022/2023 MLB Offseason thread
So much for despondency.
