This is racist. For God sakes man, open your eyes. Others have already pointed out the issues with thoughts like this - quit the entitlement and realize this legislation and line of thinking is intentionally designed to disproportionately impact a segment of the population.

Reports say Braves made 2 year back loaded contract offer to Trevor Rosenthal- curious that it was back loaded. Same mlbTR write up mentions Braves were also pursuing Gardner but he ultimately wanted to rejoin the Yankees, as expected. Wondering whether we back loaded Rosenthal’s offer because...

Shewmake sounds like a future quality regular (as a floor) with a much higher ceiling than I think most currently project. He has a quality approach at the plate and good bat to ball skills. Curious to see how his body fills out and whether that forces him off of SS or if he's going to be a...

Mancini had stage 3 colon cancer in 2020 and underwent therapy for it. He had a scan in December 2020 and it showed clear of colon cancer and while he intends to play in 2021, it would be hard for a team to be confident in his ability to immediately bounce back after taking 2020 off entirely...

Ive been on the boards for over 10 years - but I don’t keep up with all of the jokes. Sorry if it went over my head.

People do realize Wright is still 24, not 27+ right? (Ok well 25 in October but the point remains).

Are you thinking of Jared Wright? Lol. You do realize Kyle Wright is only 24 years old ,right?

Disgusting- and how insensitive to the multitude of families who are grieving and leaving in fear every single day of the police.

I think he’s just saying the US has no “hate speech” exception to the First Amendment (and the Supreme Court has affirmed that time and time again including recently with Matal v. Tam). That said one cannot make specific threats (not protected) or incite violence directly (not protected)...

Huff is an idiot. Putting aside his political choices, he certainly has the right to say whatever he wants (within limits for hate speech and the like) under the First Amendment but that does not mean his statements don't have consequences. He's made some asinine (no cringe worthy) statements...

I really can't stand throwaway statements like that (especially when they are not backed up with specific instances giving rise to any such concern). I do give greater credence to this as Kiley was in our org and knows our system better than most, but still... In Waters' case, his initial...

Rico - hope you get well soon my friend. From another 10+ year poster.

Nonetheless the kid is a great pick on day 3 - take a look at his videos and let me know who he reminds you of body wise... obviously he’s raw but this is the kind of flyer who go overslot for assuming you are able to spread out the dollars prudently across the higher FV round 1 guys.

Well I wouldn't go that far just yet. It's reported that he asked SoftBank for a $7M guarantee - remains to be seen whether he receives that much and in what form (guaranteed vs. non-guaranteed bonuses, etc.). It's almost certain he's going to exceed $2M in guaranteed payments from the Hawks...

While I do agree we should have bolstered the pen this winter, Miller is a bad example - he’s been absolutely terrible this year thus far and he’s turning 34- so it may well be him falling off.

Guyer resigns with the White Sox on a minor league deal. Don’t know the terms but I can’t imagine it’s much on a split contract. Lost opportunity to improve the bench even if marginally.

Is it not abundantly clear that AA is being hamstrung by the powers that be (namely McGuirk) and being told that any available surplus cash is going towards paying down senior debt on the Battery? Yes perhaps AA will get McGuirk to release some modicum of cash to obtain someone like Kimbrel if...

He’s on the list. In fact he’s the highest listed ATL prospect at number 19.

Considering the article was posted a day after Salma's post, I think he's in the right here. But it's a good point in other contexts to obviously cite sources where such sources are actually used.

I'm surprised at the omission of one Ronald Acuna on this list. Blasphemy.
