I would have said Biggio if someone asked me this morning who had the best catcher season in Astros history. Ausmus was great behind the plate but not great with the bat. Crazy Mitch Melusky was the opposite. Tony Eusebio is legend for other reasons.
Yeah I figured that premium seats included some in frontish rows and near midfield. The stadium section of the Austin FC website also mentions several club areas.
As much as i would LOVE a MadBum rental... The Nats are in fourth (yay still barely in front of the Marlins). Max Scherzer does not have a no trade clause yet, but will after this season. He has salaries of $28m and $27m the two seasons after this. Go get him. If you don't the Dodgers or Yankees will.
You disagree, as do I, but FWIW https://www.yachtornyacht.com/songs/8/Southern-Cross These guys claim to have coined the term yacht rock, which is a very not yacht thing to do.
Tilman and Morey had to have known that such an offer would be immediately rejected, and that the details of the offer would have gotten out. What was the endgame? Any reasonable person can clearly see that the deal was a joke.
MDA was right to reject that extension. His agent wouldn't call it insulting but I would. $2.5m is less than a bunch of first time coaches. Incentives for making the playoffs and advancing are great, but trades aren't in his control, so he could definitely fall victim to outside circumstances.
