A Yankee loss in the World Series and now this. Baseball orgasm is complete. 

 

Too bad he didn’t take an early retirement … in September.

The missing link.  Wonder what his K rate is?

The teenager, who assumed the name Cesar Altagracia, verbally agreed to sign with the Padres for about $4 million, a substantial bonus that signified he was considered one of the top international prospects in his class. The transaction would have become official in January 2027, once Altagracia became eligible to sign as a 16-year-old international free agent.

I'm not understanding why he said he was 14, which means two years until he can get paid.

Well @Beau Vine, guess we know why Vogt wouldn't catch him now.

Guardians utilityman David Fry was known to be receiving consultation about a lingering right elbow injury, and MLB.com’s Mandy Bell reports that Fry had to undergo a surgery to correct the issue.  Fry will need 12 months to return to action as a fielder, so he’ll be limited to DH duty for the entirety of the 2025 season.  Even in that case, Fry will need 6-8 months just to return as a designated hitter, so he’ll be sidelined for at least the start of next season.

Dick Allen, Dave Parker and Luis Tiant are among eight men on the ballot for the baseball Hall of Fame's classic era committee that meets Dec. 8 at the winter meetings in Dallas.

Tommy John, Steve Garvey and Ken Boyer are also on the ballot along with former Negro Leaguers John Donaldson and Vic Harris, the Hall said Monday. The classic era committee considers players, managers, umpires and executives whose greatest contributions to the sport were before 1980.

The identities of the 16 voters will be announced closer to the meeting, and 75% of the vote is needed for election. Anyone chosen will be inducted next July 27 along with players voted in by the Baseball Writers' Association of America, whose balloting will be announced Jan. 21.

Parker, John and Garvey are the living candidates. Tiant died Oct. 8 at 83.

Unfortunately I agree with him to a point and said as much in the threads....the worst NL team was better than any AL team when it came down to the 4 mentioned.   I wouldn't have went as low as 8, but the AL sucked donkey boner this season.

What does that have to do with the World Series?
