Correct. If Adames lives in California for 183 days, he's taxed as a California resident. I think that's why a lot of players establish residency in a low- or no-income tax state (military service members are often urged to do that). My ex-wife moved from Minnesota to Florida and established...

People misunderstand the tax thing a bit. Maybe things have changed, but I believe that only the revenue he earns in California is subject to the California income tax. In other words, all the home Giant games and any games played in Los Angeles or San Diego, That's well over half of the...

Curious to see what his market is going to look like. Given age and his somewhat being one-dimensional, he may be one of the last FAs standing and maybe can be had with a reasonable offer.

I don't think Soto would agree to deferred money seeing he's already close to retirement age.

Not sure what the A's are thinking here.

Physical pounding and an unsuccessful trip to the eye doctor.

Wow! Sorry to hear this. Take care of yourself and I am sure everyone here is cheering for you through this difficult time.

Didn't see it mentioned in the thread, but the Braves signed INF Jose Devers (cousin of Rafael Devers) to a minor league contract last Saturday. 25 years old with a bit of major league experience with the Marlins. Has had injury issues and hasn't performed that well when healthy, but a more...

That does seem like a Anthopoulos move. $3.7 MM for 2025 with a team option for $7 MM ($1 MM buyout) in 2026. Reasonable option to replace Jimenez with no long-term commitment.

I think they should make the guy that was bumped by the Golden AB should have to hit in that situation. It's a spectacularly stupid idea.

The Bananas are basically the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball. Nothing against them as the whole schtick is entertaining, but so was Eddie Feigner and the King and His Court. I suppose we could have the pitchers pitch blindfolded like Eddie did periodically. Of course, that was softball. I...

If Shanahan had anything to do with the drafting of Trey Lance, he should have been fired years ago. Seriously, Shanahan is a good coach (seems to have the personality of a rock, but that's just about every head coach these days) but Jimmies and Joes beat X's and O's and we've seen that with...

I can only imagine that 35-man rosters are on the way and we will then have platoon baseball.

At the very least, if the Golden AB is used to replace Toothpick Nobatter in a key situation, Toothpick Nobatter should then take the place of the Golder ABer in his particular line-up slot the next time through.

Buehler went to Vanderbilt, which is Braves' country (at least until expansion), so he'll sign for peanuts.

Watched him for years up here in Minnesota and I was shocked when the Falcons gave him that contract. His stats have always been impressive, but he just lacks a few pieces that elite QBs possess. He seems to shrug off losses and poor performances with an "Oh, well. That's how it goes...

Gee. Where is Travis Demeritte when you need a ready replacement?

Surprised he got what he got in terms of a contract, but I thought he was a good buy-low candidate. Drew Smyly is still available!

Kim can't play the OF. Edman basically takes the place of Taylor and Hernandez. I'm not disagreeing that Edman isn't an overpay. He clearly is. Dodgers always seem to have a true utility guy on the roster and they put a premium on having one.

I think it's an overpay of Edman, but Dodgers have always had a guy like this and Roberts know how to use a player like this. I think the defense angle plays up large. But it is an overpay.
