    Whit’s extension is a case of a player debuting pretty late, thus not being eligible for FA until his 30s. Despite being a really good major leaguer, we know he would’ve gotten peanuts if he ever made it to FA because of how teams value players on the wrong side of 30. And god forbid he had a career ending injury, it’s easy to see why he and his agent were willing to take a small payday vs the possibility of never getting one.

    Whit is already 30, which is surprising.

    music and baseball.

    That's another reason why this system stinks. Late bloomers are penalized the most. They don't have the opportunity to hit FA in their prime, or the later stages of it. So they can't recoup on lost income. The mandatory mins have to go, and arbitration should be for every year, if they are so keen on keeping the 6-year team control.

    I can get behind the rational of why players do this, but the point is they shouldn't have to.

    According to Trevor Bauer, he’s never signing more than a one year deal, so he could be considered a rental every year.

    Oh great. Freddie fouled a ball and it drilled the home plate ump and he had to exit the game.

    Now Angel fucking Hernandez is back there.

    Mariners just made their MLB leading 93rd error of the year.

    The next closest team has 68.

    Yikes.

    Angels trying to hit 45 runs tonight. Already at 5 runs in the first with only 1 out.

    Trout is halfway to the cycle.

    They're not out of the 1st inning yet.

    Trout will probably get his career OPS to 1.000 tonight or tomorrow.

    Silly
