Giving the MVP to someone else because their WAR was a little bit higher would be a real shame. They need to memorialize one of the most awesome things that has ever happened in baseball.

I mean what's his pregame routine looks like for a game like today's game? He'll take BP and a bullpen session? Read scouting reports on the hitters he's gonna face and the pitcher he's going to hit against? Ridiculous lmao When you see him running, he's flying with his long strides, no doubts in my mind he can play some mean CF defense. Greatest athlete in my lifetime and we're not talking about him enough.

For my money Shohei Ohtani is the greatest currently athlete playing team sports and one of the two or three greatest athletes in the history of professional baseball.

Bauer’s mlb career is over if this is true Has he denied it? I was under the impression he is saying it was consensual. I don't know where the line is with consensual sex but I'd think strangulation to the point of unconsciousness is a step too far and should be illegal due to the possibility of death or brain damage.

Regardless of if it’s true or not it’s going to be very difficult to prove and I would imagine with those circumstances teams would be willing to turn a blind eye due to his talent level. Only thing that would stop his employment is a conviction
I just hope justice is served one way or the other. The details certainly do not sound good and I really hope she didn’t endure those things if she did not consent to them. If she didn’t consent then he needs to be locked up, I just don’t know how she’s going to go about proving that and if it’s true then I’m Really heartbroken for her

With that said, I’m curious about how they had two separate meetings where she drove up and saw him and that she was messaging him before and after and wasn’t supposedly accusatory? I feel what she was saying to him might be key to the case. I wonder if they had an agreement of hard lust, but maybe Bauer didn’t stop when the safe word was spoken and took it further than she would have liked? This seems like a mess of a situation to untangle. He should be suspended with pay for the time being.

Well, MVP and Cy Young just took a bit of a hit today for Ohtani.

Yankees acquire OF Tim Locastro from the diamondbacks for pitching prospect Keegan Curtis
Locastro gets drilled so much it’s comical

Phillies DFA Neftali Feliz after 2 bad outings. Interestingly enough he has the highest velo of his career in that small sample

Plug him in leadoff and watch him get plunked every 10 AB’s. Kinda funny the Yankees replaced that HBP intangible with Locastro

Nick Castellanos has either the best or worst timing when he hits game tying homers to left field in KC.

Rowdy Tellez is no longer in the division, traded to the Brewers for Trevor Richards and pitching prospect Bowden Francis

Brought up on WEEI, but I think it's a great question. What would a free agent Shohei Ohtani be worth? I would guess that he would make more than Mike Trout.
