Yes
The Rangers have been strangely aggresive in free agency the last two offseasons
They signed Marcus Semien and Corey Seager to large deals last offseason and now have deGrom

That's a good thing. He deserves to be in the HOF.

If it wasn't for those Tom Emanski commercials Fred McGriff would be near top of list for quietest HOF players.  Guy was a leader on the teams he played but was the quiet leader type.  Also he wasn't the team star on the teams he played for as well. As a Brewers fan saw him plenty on WGN and TBS back when they showed Cubs and Braves games.  Guy deserved to be in Cooperstown sooner.
So Lone Star now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

I remember him with the Braves. Like you said they were on TBS all the time so I would always watch their games. I probably watched the Braves on a regular basis from about 1991-1994 and as a White Sox fan before Interleague play I didn't have to worry about them playing the White Sox which I would have rooted for the White Sox over them. The Sox would come on WGN every once in awhile not as often as the Cubs who I also watched back then when I'd get home from school and would mock Harry Caray. I remember the day that McGriff was traded to the Braves though, they were playing the Cardinals and McGriff made it there in time because the game was delayed because of a fire in the press box at Fulton County Stadium it was about two weeks before the trade deadline that year. I'll never forget that fire though. Actually I think the Cardinals had a big lead in the game and ended up blowing it.

For the first time ever, MLB had a draft lottery tonight, and the Pirates won, with the Nationals going second. So, with the NHL also instituting its own draft lottery recently, the NFL is now the only pro sports league without one, and I don't see it changing anytime soon.
Go Cubs Go! Go Cubs Go! Hey Chicago, what do you say? The Cubs are gonna win today!

Aaron Judge is in agreement with a 9-year, $360 million deal with the New York Yankees.
https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/1600480992682119169
The Padres offered 10 years, $400 million, but Judge refused the deal because he wanted to have his number retired by the Yankees. This is the second time this offseason a major free agent has refused a better-earning deal with the Padres (the first was Trea Turner).

Settle for Arson Judge I guess.......if you've seen the screenshot from Jon Heyman yesterday that was popular, you'll get it

I was hoping Judge would stay in New York, and I'm glad he will. And one day he'll reward the Yankees by helping them win Championship No. 28.

Meanwhile, the Red Sox continue their descent into the moneyball world by letting Xander Bogearts flee to San Diego. I hope Chaim Bloom knows what he's doing, because few others do..

Hopefully that doesn't happen, I'm enjoying the Yankees lack of winning championships.

I like Judge as a person and a player, just wish he had gone home to California so he was out of the AL East.

The Mets are kind of kicking butt on this round of free agency.  Who do they think they are, the Yankees of the early 1980's?  :D
