Every passionate fan base has a stereotype. But it’s not always the same from sport to sport in a given
It’s a mere 5 days until the real opening day, with apologies to the Mariners and Athletics. For those of you under the age of 50, MLB at one time had a traditional opening day and game, featuring the Cincinnati Reds. I miss those days. I also think the designated hitter is an abomination, to paraphrase Crash Davis. So you can surmise my feelings on the impending implementation of the DH in the National League. I offer my own solution to the imbalance between leagues, abolish the DH altogether.
The Los Angeles Angels had a disappointing season in 2018. They finished under .500 and they weren’t really in contention in 2018. They made big acquisitions last offseason acquiring OF/SP Shohei Ohtani via FA, SS Zack Cozart via FA, and Justin Upton via Trade. The Angels dealt with major injuries in their pitching staff throughout the 2018 season and ultimately it led to their fall in 2018.
LHP Gio Gonzalez and the New York Yankees have come to terms on an agreement.
Merely 17 days after the previous record-holding deal in Bryce Harper’s contract with the Phillies worth $330 million was made, Mike Trout and the Angels are set to leave that in the dust with a massive $430 million extension. The deal, as per multiple sources, is 12 years long, which could keep the greatest player of this generation, if not of all-time, with the Angels for the rest of his career.
Outside of the complete frenzy that the Philadelphia Phillies went on, no other team in baseball has had a more productive offseason than the New York Yankees.
The Red Sox haven’t had a pitcher start back-to-back Opening Days since Jon Lester in 2013 and 2014.
It was to be expected that a team lacking a definitive answer at the closing position would struggle to get the candidates ready in a timely manner.
However, to this point, Matt Barnes has made just one appearance and allowed four earned runs in an inning, and Ryan Brasier has yet to see game action due to a toe infection.
Welp, it finally happened. After much speculation the most drawn-out free agency in recent memory end with Bryce Harper going to the Philadelphia Phillies.
The next decade will be exciting. Three young superstars signed monster contracts and with become the face of their respective franchise. All of the victories and failures, whether their fault or not, will rest on their shoulders. I looked at some factors to try to figure out which one of these players has the best opportunity to cement a winning legacy.
The Boston Red Sox have picked up right where they left off last season, winning the first three Spring Training games of 2019.
It doesn’t appear as if Craig Kimbrel will be signing with a major league team any time soon.
