    Dodgers nearing Freeman deal....oh well at least it's not NYY.

    To think this team has added Betts, Trea, Scherzer (short period) and now possibly Freeman in recent years is just stupid.

    Ya, I can't say I know what the dimensions exactly are for new bases because all I can find is "The size of first, second, and third base will be increased from 15 square inches to 18 square inches". Which makes no sense because 15"2 would be 3.85"x3.85" in my mind. But looking up dimensions on google, a base is 15"x15". So new bases go to 18"x18".

    So it's not just larger in line with the baseline to help the runner. So I'm guessing it does help the runner a bit more than the defensive team out of margin for error. The 3" on something going slower means more than the 3" for the ball going faster right? And then stealing bases might be a bit easier with being a bit closer. And then safety. I would think player safety is the biggest bonus from this move.

    If it wasn't going to be the Braves... I was hoping it was anyone but the Yankees or Dodgers.

    Redsox overpay to try and stay in the ALEast arms race with paying Trevor Story 6yr, 140m deal.

    He has a player opt-out after 2025 season (he'll be 33yrs old). He will make 23.33m annually to likely play 2B with Bogaerts as their SS. Bogaerts has an opt-out after this season, so it's a bit of insurance incase Bogaerts leaves. But Story is not a good defensive SS. So even in the case of a backup plan for 2023 SS, it's a bad one.

    Yaaaaa I know Fenway helps him. But his Coors/road splits are insane.

    Home: 1421 AB, 430 Hits, 95 HR, 279 RBI, .303 avg, .972 OPS
    Away: 1401 AB, 338 Hits, 63 HR, 171 RBI, .241 avg, .752 OPS.

    The Detroit Tigers and Tampa Bay Rays are in agreement on a trade that will send OF Austin Meadows to the Tigers for shortstop Isaac Paredes and a draft pick, sources tell ESPN.

    They have a guy named Lowe (not the Lowe from last season, a different one) that has a mix of speed and power that emulates exactly what Tampa does lol. They've been shopping Meadows all offseason apparently to open up a spot for this guy.

    What is everyone's thoughts on the technology that is going to be used for pitchers and catchers (and three fielders) to get signs, instead of the old fashioned way?

    I like it. It helps speed, young catchers, language barriers, new pitchers.

    Anything to speed up the game and something this simple removes maybe 10minutes total in a game and it's so simple to me. However, I do worry it opens up an opportunity to cheat in terms of "stealing" the signal and knowing what the opponents catchers/pitchers are calling.
