    He sounds like someone who listened to his agent to a T after his agent had his worst offseason ever last year

    the good thing for Soto and Boras is that Soto is so much better than Jordan Montgomery lol

    Ya'll wanna see a few quotes that have not aged well at all?

    Tom Werner on trading Mookie Betts

    “It’s always difficult to trade a talented player of Mookie’s caliber, but let’s revisit this conversation in 12 years,”

    “One thing that I’ve stressed, and I don’t think this has been stressed enough, is that year in and year out, we are one of the highest payrolls in baseball,” Werner continued. “We’re going to deploy that money in other ways. We’ve made some great decisions over the years. We’ve made some decisions that I regret. I think that given our choices and given that Mookie wanted to test free agency, I think we got an outstanding player for hopefully longer than six years, but six years, in Alex Verdugo. Given our decision in March, we made a sober decision.”

    “When people are partying in Los Angeles, I just want to remind Los Angeles because I come from Los Angeles and I spend the winters there, that in the last 20 years, Los Angeles has won zero World Series and the Red Sox have won four,”

    I’ll be at the parade*!

    *Angrily trying to find the alternate entrance for my parking garage that is now essentially inaccessible at 8am due to the road closures and then looking from a high rise down at the parade below for 5 minutes as I contemplate whether it will be cleared out by 5pm or if my commute home is also f’d.

    I did not bother with the parade last year. seemed like it would be a nightmare to get in and out of, and the actual parade was basically a Tacoma ad

    Instead I lined up at a Raising Canes for photo op with Seager

    Offseason officially underway

    The Yankees bringing back Aaron Boone is just absolutely insane to me (not official but strongly hinted at). Not only did his managerial mistakes cost them Game 1 of this series directly, but the consistent lack of preparation and fundamental skill across the entire team this season is a direct indictment on him. How does this go on all year long? How do you bring that guy back?

    I just don't get it.

    Maybe it’s always been this way and either forget every year or never noticed but it’s weird to me that the World Series structure is 2-3-2. Is it team with better record has home field advantage or is that still decided by the all star game? Seems weird to have 3 straight road games in the middle of the series vs a 2-2-1-1-1 structure. Not sure how 2-3-2 is an advantage, never liked that set up.

    2-3-2 has been the norm since 1924 and home field advantage is decided by the better record, hasn't been the ASG result since 2017

    personally, i like 2-3-2 but it's all i've ever known. any other format would mean more off days for travel and i hate them

    Has Tom Werner ever opened his mouth and not immediately put his foot in it?
