Pete Rose has died at age 83.

Per USA Today's Bob Nightengale, the Cardinals are reportedly open to trading Sonny Gray.

 

Not sure if this opportunity knocking, considering Gray had something of a down season in his first year with St. Louis. Plus, he's 34 years old and his backloaded contract balloons to $25 million next season and $35 million for 2026. He has a buyout for $5 million in 2027, meaning that he'll be due at least $65 million over the next two seasons. Oh, and he also has a full no-trade clause.

 

Still, it might be worth looking into if the Cardinals are looking to reduce payroll. Might not cost as much in terms of prospects.

I went conservative and took the Yanks series at -1.5. If it goes 5 or Royals win it Ill be shocked.


Havent bet any of the others. I think Det could potentially throw Skubal twice so that makes that series more interesting. I think the Phils handle NY and the SD-LA lools like fire on paper. Have a futures bet on the Padres so thats where the rooting interest will be.

[Pedro Cerrano]

Yea -1.5 is prolly the move for NYY

[You Play to Win the Game]

The Mets are unfreakingbelievable.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Yanks arent gonna let a team beat them 1-0 at home. Nor 2-1. SMH

Cole has also given up as many runs so far as our pitching did all series.

[BaltBird 24]

Just brutal that we wasted an exceptional start by Burnes and a very good start by Eflin. And a solid BP performance.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

2 pitches that hit the corner are called balls for KC in the Bronx. Walks in a run. Welcome to the ump show. Gonna hand NY this series.

Machado certainly steps up his being a piece of human garbage while He's in the playoffs.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Yeah this LA/SD matchup is fire

Yeah this LA/SD matchup is fire

It’s been phenomenal so far.

It's weird that the Dodgers have like a bazillion dollar payroll, and facing elimination the best they can do is a bullpen game.

Division winners 0-3 in the playoffs with LA and Cle on the brink. We will see how everything plays out but could be all WildCard teams in the Champ Series.

Looks like the Dodgers are going to force a Game 5 with San Diego. I still like the Padres in this series, however.

Not so fast say the Yanks and Dodgers. I wont watch a second if its a Yanks-Mets or Yanks-Dodgers WS. All those teams can get lost

I saw the clip of his ball he "threw" at the dugout.  Manny certainly brings alot of this on himself, but that instance has been overblown.
