So, Trevor Bauer can definitely be annoying at some times, and he's done some misogynistic things on Twitter. But damn if the dude isn't right about people more often than you'd expect.Originally posted by fuhrdog View PostComment

If Point72 doubled down on the short, or leveraged Put options when $GME was trading in the $350 - $450 range, then they've done alright. The stock is down another $120 today, to $105.Originally posted by chancellor View Post
With that said, my Mets are still a mess! They started the offseason with speculation about FA signings like Springer, Bauer and/or Realmuto. That's evolved into signing Jose Martinez, Aaron Loup and James McCann. All are decent players, but the reality is somewhat less than the hype. And they had to fire the GM, had the owner get mixed up in the /r WallStreetBets fiasco, and having their former manager accused of lewd and inappropriate behavior.
I like the May signing and the Lindor/Carrasco trade, plus getting Lucchesi could prove solid...but this is disappointing considering where the excitement level had been in early December.2021 Auction Anatomy

Rumors are that the Mets are pulling into the lead in the Bauer sweepstakes. Hope the Mets' threshold for tolerating douchebaggery is a high one.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.Comment

Sure...they had a GM that sent dick picks to a reporter and drove her out of the business. They had a manager who also sent "inappropriate" messages to females. Granted both are gone from the organization, but I'm pretty sure the Mets can tolerate Douchebaggery to a pretty high degree.Originally posted by Bene Futuis View Post"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Happy to hear he's not a Dodger--this year.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

In either NY or LA , somebody as outspoken as Bauer should provide some color.Comment

Contrats to Bauer and his agent. They have taken advantage of being the best SP on the market this year and turned it into a contract where he is going to be way overpaid.
I think anything over 20m per season is a mistake, so I am extremely relieved that the Angels have passed on him.Comment

20 mil per season would be a real bargain, by any measure, for Bauer, assuming he keeps cheating like he did last year (he all but tattooed on his forehead what he was doing). To his credit, he tried to avoid cheating for a long time, and pointed out that other pitchers, like his nemesis, Cole, also cheats in the same way, by using a foreign substance to increase spin rate. But MLB didn't seem to care, so he called his shot and started doing it too, and was dominant. Assuming they don't crack down on Bauer, and by extension lots of other top arms, anything under 150 mill for 5 years will be a bargain.Originally posted by cleo View PostComment
