parker and donaldson, for sure 

Tommy John: a mediocre pitcher for a very, very long time. 

This fucking asshole thinks he didn't get in the hall of fame in the 90's because he would go on to support a certain candidate for President decades later.

For @InkaUtexas. 

Quote

Veteran reliever Aroldis Chapman and the Boston Red Sox are in agreement on a one-year, $10.75 million contract, sources told ESPN, bolstering a Boston bullpen in need of a power left-handed arm.

The deal, which is pending the completion of a physical, adds the hard-throwing Chapman to a bullpen that finished 24th in ERA last season and went into the winter prioritizing late-inning left-handed help.

Chapman, who turns 37 before the coming season, posted a picture of himself in a Red Sox cap on social media.

In 61⅔ innings with Pittsburgh last season, Chapman posted a 3.79 ERA and struck out 98 while walking 39. With an average fastball of 98 mph that topped out at 105, Chapman has maintained top-end velocity and an elite strikeout rate into what will be his 16th major league season.

Gracias. Yeah, not sure about this one. Saw the ESPN alert and said hell yeah! WE GOT SOTO!!! Nope, Chapman. Meh. Not happy at all with this.

This is my favorite Chapman moment.
