FTX has collapsed, if you follow crypto news, so who will MLB pimp out next?  Disgusting having ads on the freakin' umpires, takes away credibility of the game. Will the US SCOTUS be sponsored by Gatorade next? bad bad choice that bit MLB in the butt.

How, exactly?

[UTexasFight 9428]

Yeah I don’t see a problem with it.

a bad choice would be a BetMGM or Caesar’s ad.

He does have 20 postseason appearances in his career, just none this year because he kind of sucks compared to the rest of the Astros BP.

No one gives a shit.  Enron had naming rights for the Astros stadium, AIG still sponsors all sorts of international sports teams and they got at the time the biggest bail out in American financial history.  Hell, the entire multi-billion dollar sport of T-20 international cricket was started by scam artist supreme (and natural born Texan) Allen Stanford.

Matt Carpenter is a top DH free agent?  Damn, I hope he comes to the AL West...

Catchers who can catch the ball are overrated.

He didn’t bet on baseball tho- and now sports betting is legal in a ton of states, the MLB even makes $ on its gambling partnerships. 
 

Don’t get me wrong. To hell with Puig. Just saying the death penalty for gambling isn’t a strong moral high ground

Rizzo re-signs with yanks. 2 years $34 million. But but I thought no one wanted to play there.

If you’re going to qualify your announcement with bullshit, at least get the announcement right. It’s 2 years but with a 3rd year club option with a $6M buyout. So the contract is either 2/$40M or 3/$51M

Didn’t know it was your time of the month, sorry.

[TonyTexas 10505]

Seems like an odd move from Toronto who are, at worst, the co-favorites to win the AL East. And Seattle solidified its hold on 2nd in the west. 

 

[Storm the Field 5291]

Not great return for TOR, but I'm guessing it's a $$ deal. Teoscar going into his final year of arbitration, probably stood to make $16M+ and then hit free agency.

Shohei DH’d after TJ.  I doubt Harper misses much time.  

[WBT 20561]

Wasn't it known he was getting TJ after the season?  I don't think he or the team would want him moving to permanent DH.
