    Around the Majors - 2022 Version

    Brewers offense is not inspiring at all. Sleeper option to add an impact arm at the deadline. Will of course be crazy expensive to acquire though.

    Milwaukee and Freddie was such a perfect fit for one another. The fact that the Dodgers have the luxury to sign FF when they have an all star caliber 1B while a smart team like Milwaukee can’t afford to even consider it (who does spend what money they have). It really highlights how and why the economics of baseball stink.

    Pirates gave Hayes the largest contract in franchise history. Then Hayes gets injured in the first inning of the opening game. lmao

    Watched the first couple of innings of Dodgers-Rockies today. Enjoyed seeing Freddie strike out in his first AB but also enjoyed seeing Kelsey Wingert with the Rockies’ television team. Good for her.

    Poor Kelsey. She had to write an instagram post talking about how excited she was to work for the Rockies and cover them.

    Know that took a lot for her to pretend.

    Upton released today. Wouldn’t be a bad pickup if it kept Ozuna out of the OF

    He put up 17 HRs last season in 317 at bats. I wonder what his splits were....just not sure we need another RHH

    Pretty sure Upton is worse defensively than Ozuna.

    Pretty sure that’s impossible. It’s like Ozuna is punking us. He is supposed to throw left handed. Only explanation as to how a grown ass man throws like a 9 year old girl.

    His arm sucks, but he hasn’t rated poorly out there the last few years.

    I don’t think you guys understand how cooked Justin Upton is.

    Upton lives in AZ. Doubt he comes all the way to GA for a pittance of minimum MLB pay.

    Upton is done. Even the Angels can find no use for him and you can bet he has been shopped. He is getting what? Something like 25-28M so do you think that $700K (which would reduce LAA payments) really makes a difference to him at this point?
