My comment about Max Clark is that he needs to worry less about the multiple pieces of bling around his neck and more about catching routine fly balls.

'Going somewhere, Meat?' 'Ninety feet.' 'Eff you, Jobu. I do it myself.' 'Forget about the curveball, Ricky. Give 'em the heater!' 'Yo, bartender...Jobu needs a refill!'

I must be old (I am) 'cuz I don't know any of them...lol. But it 'sounds' like a 100-win team.

I have been saying this for more years than you have been alive, Matt...long-term contracts and deferrals are bad for baseball. How many six or seven year contracts have you seen that worked out good for both parties? One-quarter maybe? Three clinkers come to mind for the Brewers: Teodoro Higuera, Jeff Suppan, and Christian Yelich. Deferrals just make it even worse. How many times have you gotten paid for work you didn't do? Why should athletes? A future 'Just for Fun' piece: If I was Commissioner for a Day.' I will discuss it in greater detail.

Now I 'll have to watch it again. Nice write-up!

Tyler, you might have a future as a film critic for the New York Post. Siskel & Ebert? Nah Omoth!!

How true. Check my comments above: put a bit of a cap at the top, and raise the floor at the bottom. But apparently 'Shirley' Clark thinks players don't make enough...

Based on comments made by MLBPA president Tony Clark to The Athletic, the union is focused less on cosmetic changes and more on whether the current system actually promotes competition and fairly compensates players. 'Fairly compensates players?' Shirley, you jest...lol. Shohei Ohtani, 10yrs, $700 million Kyle Tucker, 4 yrs, $240 million Juan Soto, 15yrs, $765 million Vlad Guerrero, Jr., 14yrs, $500 million To put it in perspective, based on his last five seasons, Ohtani has averaged 672 plate appearances per year. Every time Ohtani steps to the plate, whether he hits a walk-off grand slam or strikes out, he cashes a check for $104,166.67. Yes, he is underpaid...lol. Most people don't make that much money in a year; Ohtani makes it in five minutes. And, Tony, if you are talking about the bottom 95% of MLB players, maybe take some of those millions that stars make, money they won't spend in three lifetimes, and share it somehow with the bottom of the league. Instead of a $700 million contract, make it $600 million. That's $100 million over 10 years that can be given to the back-up catchers or utility infielders. Cap the salaries just a bit, and raise the floor. Seems like y'all could make it work. And just in case you weren't aware, the MLB minimum salary in 2026 will be $780,000. Damn, makes me wish I had concentrated on baseball in high school instead of girls, weed, and beer...

I'll have to check it out!

I agree. I think teams will continue to do 'business as usual.'

It was not an attack on the country; it was a raid to capture Maduro. The US did not attack Venezuela. Yes, there were some deaths and it was unfortunate, but the US achieved its stated goal of taking a narco-terrorist out of power. I'm not sure how any American would be against that. Based on what I have heard from various news outlets over the last few days, a large number of Venezuelans are happy with the capture of Maduro. Unless a player lost family or friends, I would suggest they would be happy with the removal of Maduro as well.

Susac must be the younger brother of Andrew Susac? He was with the Brewers in 2016/17.
