The MLB Thread

Honestly I will probably root for Ángels in AL

I like Moreno and Rendon remains my favorite player


But I think Nats lost a golden opportunity to build Nats nation ...but if Rendon wants to play elsewhere not much you can do I guess

Holy shit. I was so certain this was getting swept under the rug.

I thought for sure fine and a slap on the wrist draft pick loss.  This is much worse and WAY more than I expected. 

Hot rumor is Alex Cora is going to get more in the Red Sox probe as the "ringleader."  Beltran may be protected as his infractions occurred as a player, despite being a manager now.  #unionFTW

Astros just fired them both!

So how long before AJ Hinch has another managing job in MLB?

I am openly advocating for the Tigers to hire both Hinch and Luhnow and just sit them on ice for a year.

Much sooner than Alex Cora.
