    Twins actually sign someone!

      Apparently the Angels didn’t. “WTF are the Angels doing?” “A whole lot of nothing” according to Steve.

      I’d say that’s a little disrespectful to Stephenson, Moore, Hicks, and Sano. They’re clearly shoring up that bullpen (needed) and when Boras steps off his cattle pen and gets realistic about his clients actual value, maybe they’ll grab a quality starter along the way.

    Does anyone know where to find arb dates for individual players? I recall this info being out days or even weeks before the process started.

    Will the Padres sign any FA’s?!

      Profar and Cooper right before ST after they have exhausted all other offers / non-offers.

      Maybe Votto.

      Look at the list of available SP – pick 2 of a Cueto or Davies types on a 1 year / option deal.

      They have signed 2 RP FAs so far.

      A lot of other teams have done little in FA waters.

      If you scour the available names, not really a whole lot to get excited about.

      It’s just another day Tow.

      I think you just have gotten so accustomed to the last 3 years of spending thst if you were a fan for 30-40 years, you wouldn’t be so uptight.

      This team is going to be a lot better than most of the last 40 years excepting 4-5 years in there.

      2024 is a reset of tax / prepping for 2025 with youth movement.

      Time accept it or jump of your ledge.

          Check his 21 and 22 stats and also, 23 peripherals.

          Give me a 1 mil and incentives and I’d let him show up. No need to rush the prospects.

    Wait a second, we had been assured by all the complainers that all the big name free agents would be rushing to sign after Ohtani rudely took all of a few weeks to sign

      Hopefully there is a University near you that has an available safe room, you know balloons, puppies etc….
      Plus in your haste to type, your TR emblem must have fallen off 😉

        I’m strongly considering opening a “puppy therapy” business… fifty dollars an hour to play with a puppy.

      I stand something like 1-for-12. I gave up. Apparently our questions and other pertinent ones aren’t as important as bees and beads.

      Un-clench, OIC, and that stick may fall out and you will be more comfy.

          And yet, here you are, still on the site and still supporting it.

          “These guys wouldn’t know what people want to read anyway”.

          Hmmmmm? 19 years in business and being the #2 ranked baseball site in the country would lead me to believe you are wrong.

      Best way to get a question answered.
      1. Something original
      2. Something interesting
      3. Something involving a relevant player

      If the question’s been answered 25 times already, it’s less likely to be selected.
      Asking questions about in depth operating financials or politics don’t seem to come up in the chats.
      Asking questions about a player few people are concerned about or even know is less likely to get a response.
      Questions which are rhetorical or just venting aren’t commonly answered.
      I’d bet less than 5% of trade proposals or where will so-and-so sign? get a response

        Hold your nose and ask if anyone will sign “punisher” Bauer…..

      Just curious, but what were some of your questions? And it’s not like they have any insider information. Their guesses are as good as some of ours, I imagine they just pay a bit more attention to what’s going on around the sport?

    Steve answered two questions from some dude named “Ray” while there are countless thousands of people in each chat that never get chosen. And never have gotten chosen. Hats off to you, Ray, I guess.
