Who ever came to the conclusion that the Mets are winning the NL East needs to be fired.

Not sure how he did in NY but glad to have Paxton back in Seattle.

Seems like a great deal for the club. He is 22 right now. Essentially, they get the 12 most productive years of one of the best players in baseball at $24m a year and "give" him a $48m signing bonus with control options for 2 more years. If he stays healthy and is the player he played like this past season, it is a steal of a deal.

Props to the Padres, absolutely playing to win... And that's a market where that is far from a guarantee.

That's probably a good deal both ways - Tatis would be making pennies on the dollar the next few years before he gets into real money. I'd be really curious to see what that actual deal structure is. Will it be $36-$40mm in his post arbitration years?

How many significant other abusers does that put on the Yankees now? 2... 3? I can't keep count.

Yankees' German to address teammates about domestic violence suspension

Trash organization for keeping these guys employed.

Trash organization? Muurloen Muurloen nice try to deflect. Your team should have had their rings & fake-ass trophy melted down and turned into hood ornaments for the '17 Dodgers cars.

Want to beat your significant other, get away with it and still be employed with 6 figure+ contact? Join the Yankees now.

I'd beat up my significant other for $600k /yr. She'd be cool with it!

This guy has to be one of the dumbest mother fuckers on the planet to have risen to a position so lofty. The Mariner's being dogshit for 20 years really makes a lot of sense.

I just can't imagine being in a competitive sports/business environment where you aren't even trying to win. Boggles the mind.

Then you add in the work-place harassments claims that got swept under the rug, hush money paid, and how ownership let him "fail upwards"... this is what you call a trash organization. Straight garbage.

He stepped down pretty sure since this. Lite fires and retire.
