I saw that Max Muncy (Born August 25 2002) got a hit for the Sackamenna A's and was shocked that the Dodgers let him go! Turns out it's a different Max Muncy, born exactly 12 years earlier (August 25 1990), no relation.
Yeah and the Giants have picked up some guys that should at least get them into oh maybe 3rd place. I expect the Padres to collapse like the Giants have been so maybe we can Wild Card the Dodgers again.

He was on NYPD Blue not Hill St., then he was on Blue Bloods. I think he's still on SVU sometimes as well. He did work in several of Spike Lee's films before his regular TV stints.
You're right about NYPD Blue, my bad. Didn't know he was on Blue Bloods (never watched a full episode).
Just came across another "Hey Juan Soto F You" post on my Twitter feed, from a total stranger whom I don't follow. What is Musky Melon trying to tell me...
Juan Soto leaves a few broken hearts behind. Definitely NSFW.
Bonus points to those who recognize Nick Turturro (yes, John and Aida's brother) from his salad days on Hill Street Blues.

Not really. The top 10 Average Annual Values are all within the last 5 years, $35million for #s 10-11-12. The last time a team's opening day payroll was that low was 2013 and that was an anomaly. Ohtani's AAV is still $70 million with the shorter term but much of that is deferred so his real 2024 & 25 paychecks are lower but not many players are in a position to accept a contract like that.
Very quickly, if the player performs well for a few years, the money seems to almost make sense.
When Harper signed with the Phillies (11 years... $330?) it seemed like a huge risk. 5 years in, it's been worth every penny. His $27/year for the next 9 or 10 years feels like a steal. In 5 years someone will get $80M per year...and Soto's deal will seem almost reasonable. Remember how insane A-Rod's $275M / 10 years felt? That's the middle of the rotation money now.
The Ohtani contract is built to pay him after his California and US residency end. It's hard to believe, but even with Japan's 45% tax rate, He's going to save at least 10% compared to paying US and CA taxes. It's of course a risk.... tax rates change... but he can afford whatever happens.
Iâm glad we didnât win that lotto. Not worth paying 1 guy that much. There are 9 players on the field to make up a team.
Yeah, that would have been weird for the BoSox to win that bidding war. And in the long run, doing so likely would have hamstrung the team for quite a while.
