LaRussa charged with DUI (not his first) the day before getting the White Sox gig

Incredible. This is truly one of the most bewildering hires in my lifetime.

That is amazing.  Only slightly less amazing than the fact that Deadspin is still around.

All the classic Deadspin staff left in protest and started a site called Defector (that is mostly paywalled). Deadspin is one of those bookmarks that I just haven't gotten around to deleting. The current staff, just frankly, kinda suck.

I know it’s fashionable to kick Larussa around and maybe he turns out to be an awful hire but he did win like three World Series....

And Hank Aaron was the all time HR King but I don’t think he should be on an MLB roster either.

The dude is 80, a total cultural mix match for the Sox roster, and clearly has an alcohol problem.

Marcus Stroman, in his age 30 season, taking the $18.9m one year qualifying offer has to be the craziest thing I've heard in MLB in a long time

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano has tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug and will be suspended for the entire 2021 season, sources familiar with the situation tell ESPN. He will forfeit a $24 million salary

In-It-To-Win-It with these guys?

Snell might be worth a gamble. He had one amazing year but nothing before it or since. Darvish is a .500 pitcher.

Ya can’t win anything without pitching, though.

Nats sign Kyle Schwarber to 1 yr 10$ million contract


Rizzo approach seems to be to gamble on players that had a down year last season that they will bounce back when things get back to normal


Same as Josh Bell

The Dodgers landed Trevor Bauer.

I'm going to go find a bridge....

three-year deal with opt-out provisions after year one and year two of the contract, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports. MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand adds that Bauer is guaranteed a total of $102MM on the deal, which includes a $40MM salary in 2021 and a $45MM salary in 2022
