    Slow Train Coming. Please make it stop.

    Milton DFAs The Trop

    I generally spend spring training in Clearwater, so see plenty of Phillies and some Blue Jays in Dunedin, plus Frort Myers of course, but have never been able to bring myself to get over to Tampa for the Yanks.

    Red Sox front office re-org/restructure/deck chair rearrangement

    It's multisport multinational issue, e.g. almost universal in English soccer. And these guys mostly pay major money for people to manage their media profile, mindboggling.

    If the RS sign Montgomery are you satisfied with the off-season?

    I don't suppose it says much that we don't already know, but this is pretty good summary of Montgomery's market; mostly the curse of being reliably good but not potentially great.

    Offseason rumors

    I like Montgomery, I very much hope that we get him, but E-Rod has been a reliable starter for the past 10 years, their careers are fairly comparable, even over the last three years, they are the same age: to me if ER is worth 4/80 today, in a Boras-free world JM is maybe worth a little more...

    Offseason rumors

    I don't disagree, but if we just needed an innings eater shouldn't be have just gone for someone like E-Rod at a fraction of the cost, and likely comparable value?

    RedSox and Yankees will be in London next year on June 29-30.

    Wondering whether there's any way I can get away with wearing my Y*nkees Suck t-shirt!

    RedSox and Yankees will be in London next year on June 29-30.

    I found clicking on the "Buy Tickets" link in the mail I got at 5:11am this morning worked best. Still slow, but I got there.

    RedSox and Yankees will be in London next year on June 29-30.

    As a native Brit who first came to Boston in the early eighties and settled there in the summer of '86, I'm pretty excited about this. I expect London Stadium will make a terrible baseball venue, and the prices are outrageous (though apparently pretty much in line with what will be charged for...

    Choo to Rangers

    According to a link from the Dallas Morning News (which I can't find a way to post for some reason), $130m in TX is worth about $144m in NY when you take into account the tax issues.

    Cashman's Cano Contract Conundrum

    it is interesting that it seems the Sox valued Ells at max 5/100, the market at 7/153+; the Yankees Cano at 7/175 max, the market 10/240. Both contracts already look likely substantial overpays in terms of true market value, but other than the fact that the Sox and Yanks valued their own assets...

    Report: A-Rod banned through 2014?

    In some countries, not least the UK, Mr. Rodriguez would be looking at a libel suit and quite possibly jail time for what he came out with today. The man's out of his mind, or at the very least completely self-obsessed.
