Wait, why scratch him? Maybe I missed something in the article but it seems like he wasn't directly involved in the altercation (although could just be him covering himself) and it doesn't seem like he's going to have any long term injury issues.

According to the lawsuit he suffered "catastrophic injuries, which have and will continue to cause him significant economic damage, including but not limited to his earning capacity as an elite professional baseball player." And according to Pham, "I'm on the road to recovery and I know I'll be back to my offseason training routine in no time." Obviously at least one of these statements is BS.
If nothing else, I'm not giving him very high social distancing marks for going to a strip club in the middle of a pandemic.

I am inclined to believe that the former is BS, as he is trying to get money out of a lawsuit, but who knows. But to your latter point, and not to get too far from baseball, I don't think too many pro athletes would be grading out super well on social distancing so I don't really care much at all about that part of the story haha

FYI, when you file a lawsuit, you don't say "plaintiff was only sort of injured and should make a full and complete recovery." That's a one-way ticket for dismissal. I wouldn't pay attention to what the complaint says.

Piecing together various tweets, the Phillies apparently lost a lot of money and will need to reduce salaries significantly. It apparently emanated by a Maddon piece that I haven't seen but several tweets like this: From the MLBTradeRummors chat: Chris 7:04 Are the phillies going to move a contract or two, or are they just using their losses as cover for not signing anyone this off season? Mark P 7:05 Going into seller mode would not endear them to Philly fans (who are already quickly losing patience), but maybe a delicate balance between adding players while still trying to unload a contract or two might be possible? It's difficult to find this balance in the best of times, for teams that (you know) actually have their front office figured out www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/11/mlbtr-live-chat-558.html

@fuzzyfromyt? Ray... c'mon dude. Pick a fan base and you'll find people complaining about the team not spending enough money.
They traded Sixto FOR Realmuto. The tweet doesn't even make sense.

It was all over the place yesterday. That tweet just reminded me and I just used that as an example. I also added the MLBTradeRummors chat after. ADD: Yesterday, there were several tweets regarding Realmuto basically saying the Phils would be out of the bidding. Previously it was always said that they were the leading team to retain his services. That's a big market team. I'm thinking in terms of the overall financial picture of MLB.

This doesn't bode well for a Lindor to the Mets trade. They don't want to trade for players. Just buy them. So Lindor sounds unfortunately MFY bound.

Makes sense, but if the Yankees don't simply re-sign Lemahieu, and trade for Lindor, who exactly are they giving up? I would guess Garcia would be part of the package, but that's not enough. It's not like the Yankees have a SS to trade to Cleveland. Not saying they can't do business together - they probably can. Just not sure what package works. And if winds up being a rental trade, then you figure, yes the Sox have a shot, but the Mets could be waiting and they got some seriously deep pockets. And I still wouldn't be surprised to see the Mets deal for Lindor. I mean, where does Ahed play if they get Lindor? Would it be 2b or would he be the centerpiece in a deal? It's not like the Mets can't trade for and then extend Lindor.

It's not like the Yankees have a SS to trade to Cleveland. Lemahieu sounds like a guy the Mets will buy. Along with maybe Springer and they're probably getting Realmuto too. I think the package starts at probably Garcia and Andujar with lower level prospect or 2. Maybe the Indians can convince the MFY to give up Voit instead of Andujar. I can see the Yankees doing that and rolling dice on Andujar the next 4 years at first base. Depends on their projections of Andujar versus Voit in the future.

Isn't that the point? If you trade Sixto for Realmuto and then don't sign Realmuto you've really messed things up no?

[Ray, the tweet you posted got deleted, apparently. - Chris] LOL, I don't even remember what it was,the URL is gone so I deleted it. The internet is still full of speculation about the Phillies miseries. Twitter meme example deleted since the format is apparently more important than the message.

The url is still in the post if you go in to edit it.
That said, let's not fill the thread up posting memes, please.

The Reds better have gotten one helluva PTBNL along with Noe Ramirez because that's a brutally awful deal otherwise. Wish the Sox could have pounced on a deal like that assuming the PTBNL isn't some top notch prospect.

Wish the Sox could have pounced on a deal like that assuming the PTBNL isn't some top notch prospect. My question is what is the value of a Sonny Gray if they are cutting costs? How much prospect value are we talking? One decent headliner and a few lesser pieces? $10 mil per year is a great contract and only helps the Reds leverage. I would love to add Gray to our rotation.

Gray is getting a lot of attention. He's not going to come that cheap on prospects.
