Signing with two teams in the same day has to be a record

I'm waiting for him to hit and field at the same time when the Astros play the Blue Jays.

Nah he'll just DH.

I remember when we had an odd number in schoolyard football we'd have someone designated as all-time offense, and he'd just play for both teams.

The challenge isn't when the Astros play the Blue Jays, it's when they are both playing at the same time on opposite coasts.

Rosenthal needs a sabbatical. He has now jumped the gun and been completely wrong multiple times in a short period of time. He has used up any credibility he had at this point. Others misreported it too, but Rosenthal's fall from credibility stands out to me. These guys are always looking to be first to break this stuff, but better to be late and right then first and wrong.

Didn’t Hazel Mae break it and Rosenthal tweet it with a HT to Hazel?

Possibly...I am not really on Twitter (have an account but don't really use it)...Rosenthal's name with just the one I saw Rotoworld cite. He was also the first name I saw on Hand to the Mets.

6 years, 150mil for Springer. Toronto finally makes their big splash.

CF Springer
2B Biggio
SS Bichette
DH Teoscar
3B Vladito
LF Gurriel
1B Rowdy
RF Grichuk
C Jansen



That's a pretty good lineup. Not sure what they do if Vladdy can't play 3B, but he does look a lot skinnier.

I'm glad they didn't sign Brantley. I want to see Teoscar in the middle of that lineup, not the bottom.

in case anyone needs evidence ... October vs January

Wow, he looks 50 pounds lighter. Did he eat at all this winter? Perhaps he tried the COVID diet? I'm thinking that before photo is from last spring/early summer training. Hard to believe he could lose that much weight in 4 months.

Sure, you hire a good cook/dietician and follow a strict exercise regimen and you or I could look like that too. That's their business, making sure that they're as good as they can be. LeBron supposedly spends a million dollars a year on his body...money well spent.

LOL...and a time machine to take a lot of years off.

I was with you until the bolded part.
