Saturday Bantering: Bo, Tucker

Jon Heyman tells us that the Jays offer to Kyle Tucker was $350 million for 10 years. He signed a 4-year, $240 million contract with the Dodgers. So I guess the question is will he be able to find a 6-year, $110 million contract at age 33. I guess it is best to get the […]

Chicago Cubs news and notes — Bregman, Shaw, Tucker

Bo’s a Met. Bo Bichette, that is. Kyle Tucker joined the Dodgers, who offered him a cool $240 million for four years, with opt-outs after the second and third years. More power to him. If you can get that kinda money, get right on it. This even though I’ve hated the Dodgers from the git-go. […]

Happy Birthday Rance Mulliniks and Tim Mayza

Rance Mulliniks turns 70 today. Rance was one of my favourite players because he seemed to get the absolute most out of his natural abilities. He wasn’t big or fast. He wore glasses. A left-handed hitter, geeky looking, wore glasses. How could I not like him? You didn’t think ‘professional athlete’ when you looked at […]
