We have one for other sports so why not baseball?

I will start:



A good add for next season.

There is probably a "stammena" joke here but I will leave it for somebody else to make.

"The love of money is the root of all evil." I'm not sure who said that. It was either the apostle Timothy, the prosecuting attorney for Pete Rose or the prosecuting attorney for Shohei Ohtani's interpreter.

It's really sad that so many baseball executives are "baffled" and "perplexed" that a player would choose to stay with his team instead of seeking a more lucrative contract as a free agent.

It was hugely unexpected. But the 2025 Blue Jays were a special team. Us Jays fans are very happy to have him back for 2026.

I think John Schnieder was robbed of Manager Of The Year. He took a last place club and got them to play as a team and almost pulled off the improbable upset of the best team $ buys. And if it was not him, I would have given the nod to the Seattle manager who pulled a similar feat. A repeat of the Cleveland guy seems unwarranted.
