    Sam Dyson somehow made it this far without being mentioned.....
  2. lecroy24fan
    Or preferably they take the hit while he is playing. This is no different than NLF teams transferring future money owed to signing bonuses to avoid cap hits.
  3. lecroy24fan
    I have no idea how this was calculated but somehow the luxury tax per season is $46M. No clue where that number comes from.
  4. lecroy24fan
    This also could be a move to make room for Ohtani.

    Came out today that the Angels avoided going over the luxury tax threshold by $30k. So all the releases/trades worked. But that is not what got them under. It was placing Max Stassi on the restricted list that pushed them under, as that happened after all of that. They made this move so they would not have to pay him while he was away from the team to tend to be with his newborn child, who has had severe health issues. Arte Moreno is an ******* for this move.

    The biggest thing is if you were in a teams "market" you were blacked out on mlb.tv. So if you lived in parts of Iowa, not only were you unable to watch the Twins, but the Cubs, White Sox, Brewers, Royals, and Cardinals were all blacked out.

    It's been 22 years too many. Not at all. Nobody's that annoying, with the exception of Hawk Harrelson.

    Cutting payroll causes these things.
  9. lecroy24fan
    Looking at the title of the thread I was expecting it to be Buxton.
  10. lecroy24fan
    They got it done because the Braves were going after him hard.
  11. lecroy24fan
    Hunter has turned that offer down.
  12. lecroy24fan
    Dumb me hit enter but this is what I would go with. Bring back Gray, Maeda, and Taylor and run it back with mostly the same team. I think they can get Maeda for less but just entered what was listed for him, and possibly the same with Taylor. I know this is pretty blah but if the injured players are healthy this is reasonable.
  13. lecroy24fan
    Although it's been reported that payroll will be down I'm not convinced that will prevent them from bringing back Gray. C: Christian Vazquez ($10.00M) 1B: Alex Kirilloff ($1.70M) 2B: Jorge Polanco ($10.50M) 3B: Royce Lewis ($0.77M) SS: Carlos Correa ($33.33M) LF: Matt Wallner ($0.77M) CF: Byron Buxton ($15.00M) RF: Max Kepler ($10.00M) DH: Edouard Julien ($0.77M) 4th OF: Willi Castro ($3.20M) Utility: Michael A Taylor ($6.00M) Utility: Kyle Farmer ($6.60M) Backup C: Ryan Jeffers ($2.30M) SP1: Pablo Lopez ($8.25M) SP2: Joe Ryan ($0.77M) SP3: Bailey Ober ($0.77M) SP4: Chris Paddack ($2.53M) SP5: Sonny Gray ($22.00M) RP: Jhoan Duran ($0.77M) RP: Brock Stewart ($0.77M) RP: Griffin Jax ($0.77M) RP: Jorge Alcala ($1.00M) RP: Caleb Thielbar ($3.00M) RP: Louie Varland ($0.77M) RP: Kenta Maeda ($12M) RP: Kody Funderburk ($0.77M) Payroll is 12.96% over budget

    Maybe next year it can be set up to drop and drag players, at least who is on the initial roster? Easier to swap the players that way.
  15. lecroy24fan
    I would also lean to the Ward side based on him being the bigger name at the time. He was a key player whereas Ron was a utility player.
  16. lecroy24fan
    The 1981 media guide does list Washington as #50 so I'm sure it is him, as Ward had 32 already at that point. EDIT: However, Ward had 50 in 1979 ST. S0 it's a tossup.
  17. lecroy24fan
    All the media guides have the rosters so I might be able to find it.
  18. lecroy24fan
    Looking closer that is likely Gary Ward. But he wouldn't have worn 50 in this time either. I'm going to take a closer look at spring training rosters in that era.
  19. lecroy24fan
    Definitely a spring training photo based on the lack of stands in the background so probably from 1981 before he switched to 38.

    If Provus goes to TV I'd like to hear Attebury and Molitor a lot on radio. They worked really well together the several games they called this year. Gladden needs to go. He misses complete at bats telling the same stories he's told in the past, and is even worse when there is a guest in the booth. There are times he doesn't tell us the score for 10 minutes or more. All of you saying Attebury misses calling the game I have never heard him miss calling at bats really at all. Might miss a pitch here and there but at least he'll tell us the count and score on a regular basis, which on radio is a key to calling games.
  21. lecroy24fan
    Too bad he was pushed out. 28 games short of 5000 called. But he should be the no brainer pick for the Twins HOF for 2024.
  22. lecroy24fan
    One thing to remember as far as baserunning goes is the change in the size of the bases.
  23. lecroy24fan
    Not as great of a name as PTBNL.
  24. lecroy24fan
    The NHL's Washington Capitals logo debuted in 2020 is the top one here.... t The shares of red, white, and blue are the exact same so it can't be coincidence.
  25. lecroy24fan
    I would caution that players who lost the 2020 season should be afforded an extra year of leeway here.
