    That is his current asking price. We'll see if he gets it.

      I now have 2 games remaining in my 2025 Cubs season and with the lost to Mil. in the season ending series opener the Cubs can not get to 100 wins and sit at 97-63. If they end up winning the WS, it will be the first time winning without 100 wins.


      Individually Morgan Duran has taken the NL and MLB lead in RBI's with his 161st run knocked in. He is #1 and Harper is #2 with 160. I think you have to go back almost 100 years to find teammates that eclipsed the 160 rbi total (I'm assuming the 20's Yankees did it). Duran's age 28 season has now become legendary:


      .287 ave
      55 HRs
      161 RBI
      53 Steals
      .623 slg


      Bryce Harper also continues his season for the ages:


      .339 ave
      62 HRs
      160 RBI
      .413 On base
      .760 slg


      And Kris Bryant adds another great year to the back of his Baseball card


      .285 ave
      47 HR
      121 RBI
      .398 On Base
      .598 Slg
      13 steals


      I don't really know how many AB's I'm gonna give this guys in the final 2 games so the numbers above will most likely represent their 2025 season. I've never had a season with 3 guys go off like this(I think the show has replicated the explosion of HRs we are currently seeing IRL '19 and it just happens to be my 2025 season)

          Right now I don't really have any targets. A few that I like, Snell, Nick Williams, Matt Chapman, Alex Blandino, A.J. Reed, Jake Thompson, all have asking prices that I wouldn't even begin to attempt to get into, with what my plans on for my roster/organization.

          My main thing right now is determining how I want to attack the offseason and who is going to be built around and what level they are going to play at.

          Also trying to determine if we want to go all in on Jack Flaherty and Ozzie Albies or just do arbitration and use that money to go after another free agent or two.

          Right now its strictly self roster evaluation and plan before I really get into the free agent market. Interest in particular players could quickly change that mindset though.

            Moving right along through the dog days of summer. if my first two games with the Rockies are any indication of what might be if we meet in this year's World Series I don't want any part of them.

            In the first game of the series, I for sure thought that my win streak I was in serious jeopardy. I beat them in on a 13th inning walk-off home run by Odor.

            having this time off is really helping me get through this season. I am trying to play one series per day. if I keep this up I should be in the postseason very soon.

              Cardinals re-sign Ozzie Albies to 5 year - $90MM deal


              The Cardinals get one of their men, as they re-signed Ozzie Albies to a 5 year deal worth $90MM. This buys out Albies' one arbitration year and signs him through the age of 30. The Cardinals were interested in signing Albies to a longer term deal (close to 10 years) but neither could agree on the money for the deal. After negotiating for a few days, both Albies and the Cardinals agreed to the 5 year deal that will keep him in St.Louis through the age of 30 and then Albies will get one more shot at free agency where he could cash in more if he continues this upward trend.

              The Cardinals will now focus their attention on getting Jack Flaherty and signing him to a long term deal. Although Flaherty seems to be in the same camp as Albies in not wanting to sacrifice future dollars to sign a long term deal now, and the Cardinals don't want to pay for what Flaherty might become should he continue to improve and would rather pay what his worth is today. I could easily see this negotiation leading to arbitration or the Cardinals just signing him to a deal that buys out his arbitration and the two sides negotiate again then.

              Cardinals re-sign Carson Kelly to 2 year deal

              The Cardinals also re-signed Carson Kelly to a 2 year - $11MM deal buying out his arbitration years. Kelly had a terrific 2022 season, but the Cardinals were hesitant to make him a long term deal offer considering how he struggled the past few years. Still, Kelly seems to have found his bat and his managing of the staff has been superb the last few years since taking over for Molina.

                THE PLOT THICKENS

                No other series in this playoffs has more history than these two teams! In a surprise move by NY they swapped their Ruth in as DH last minute for Gehrig! On the day Boston’s 20 yo Ruth was pitching! Truly testing the quantum stability of this crazy universe ha! It would make for some interesting at bats for sure.

                IMG_0593.jpg

                But today the young Ruth had his good stuff, as did Paxton! The Redsox scratched 2 runs early in the first! The Yankees wouldn’t get one till a Mattingly sacrifice in the 5th. That would be it for either side until the wheels flat fell off for the Yankee bullpen in the 8th, allowing Boston to score 7!

                Boston takes game 3, 9-1 putting them one win away from advancing to the ALCS up 2-1 in the series.

                  This was from my 2020 jays franchise. Bottom of 9th, 2 on, no outs. I hit a bullet to Jose Altuve, who started the triple play. Correa could have just tagged Guerrero but still, pretty cool!

                  That's awesome, I have yet to see a triple play in 19. I had an opportunity where I probably could of turned one myself but out of habit I just threw the ball to 2nd to start a double play rather than first stepping on 3rd base.

                    No long term deal for Jack Flaherty this winter

                    The Cardinals have backed off the plan of signing Jack Flaherty to a long term deal this offseason. Instead they will offer a contract to buyout his final years of arbitration by offering him a 2 year deal worth $18MM. Flaherty made $6.5MM last year and posted a 13-7 record with a 4.24 ERA. The Cardinals will offer arbitration if Flaherty doesn't agree to the contract prior to November 23rd.

                    The plan this offseason was to sign both Albies and Flaherty to long term deals, but neither went according to plan. The Cardinals did sign Albies to a 5 year deal that will make him a free agent again at the age of 30. Albies refused to sign longer for the money the Cardinals were offering and the Cardinals refused to up the ante to get a long term deal done. Instead, both settled on a happy medium where neither side is at an extreme risk financially.

                    The Cardinals will now use that "extra" money they saved on signing Flaherty and look to bolster their roster via the free agent market, which isn't overly impressive this year, but has some extremely solid pieces that could help this roster.
                    I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                      Cardinals looking to improve their bullpen

                      Now that the Cardinals have settled their primary focus of signing Albies and Flaherty, they will now turn their attention to what they believe is their biggest need this offseason and that is improved depth in their bullpen. They already know they have to replace Tyler Lyons who retired at season's end, and they don't believe that will come from within the organization now. Right now the Cardinals projected bullpen for 2023 would be:

                      Zack Burdi
                      Jordan Hicks
                      Dean Kiekhefer
                      Corey Littrell
                      Roberto Osuna (set up)
                      Trevor Rosenthal (closer)

                      That leaves one vacant spot and the Cardinals aren't completely sold on having Littrell start the year in St.Louis. He was promoted quickly from AA to AAA to St.Louis and the Cardinals think the best option for him might be start the year at Memphis and progress from there. He had good numbers on paper in his short time in St.Louis last year (2.89 ERA in 24 appearances), but you have to keep in mind his usage was limited to primarily left handed hitters only. He actually only pitched a total of 11 1/3 innings in those 24 apperances and his WHIP was 1.24 which is high in limited duties.

                      The Cardinals also are skeptical about Zach Burdi and his inconsistent output last season. One game Burdi would be lights out and the next he couldn't get anyone out if his life depended on it. Burdi is out of options so sending him back to Memphis to work out the kinks could be a problem which has put the idea in place that Burdi could be traded this offseason so they don't lose him for nothing.

                      The Cardinals have a few options in the minors, but none of considered on the cusp of being ready for the majors. Primarily Ryan Sheriff, Caleb Frare, and Harvey Hoyt.

                      This leads to the idea of the Cardinals searching free agency for help. And they have two targets they are looking at..Andrew Miller (whom the Cards traded to Toronto last year at the deadline) and Cody Allen who opted to test free agency instead of re-signing with the Marlins. Whether the Cardinals formally offer or are just checking, remains to be seen.

                      But the Cardinals are fully committed to fixing their bullpen woes by adding more arms that are major league ready and letting the younger arms develop at a more natural pace.
                      I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                        Just had one crazy offensive outburst in my Giants franchise. Kevin Pillar hit 4 Homeruns in a game without any wind in Pittsburgh. He just couldn’t miss and collected 7 RBI’s in a game which saw a total of 7 bombs from my team. By far the best performance I have seen by a player controlled by me. He also walked 2 times.

                          2019 Texas Rangers Fantasy Franchise

                          Aug 17: After taking 2 of 3 from TB to start the Homestand, the Oakland A’s came to town and took the first two games of the series from us. After whooping us 10-5 the first game, they came back and ended up beating us in 11 innings in game 2. With 12 games left and a very tight race for the West, game 3 of the series seemed very much like a MUST WIN game. Mike Trout must have felt the same as he stepped up with a monster game! He went 3 for 5 with 3 HR and 8 RBI! The game was a slugfest, featuring 10 total HR combined as part of a 15-10 Rangers victory with 32 total hits in the game!

                          We are now 93-58(MLB best) with 11 to play. LAA(90-60) is in 2nd place(2.5 GB) and OAK(90-61) is in 3rd(3.0 GB). We still play OAK in a 3 game series in their stadium. We are done playing LAA in the reg season.

                          Side note: in that last game vs OAK, Joc Pederson hit his 60th HR of the year and it was a BOMB, 473 feet to RF. Despite that feat , Mike Trout has catapulted himself into the top position in the MVP race after his big finish to the series. His power surge of late has brought his HR total up to 49 and he’s at or near the top of the league in almost every offensive category including his WAR of 11.1(next best in the league is 8.3 by Goldschmidt). Oh and btw Trout currently has a 37 game hit streak, by far our longest of the year!

                            2023 White Sox Franchise

                            Had biggest offensive onslaught I have had in quite awhile in game #50 in the 2023 regular season with a 19-2 win over the Astros.

                            Sox were led by a huge game by SS Luis Urias, who now leads the AL in average at .352, after going 5-6 with 2 Grand Slams, a double and 11 RBI's, nearly doubling his RBI's for the season. Sox also had 5 hit games from LF Richie Cortez, (5-6, 3 2B, 2 RBI) and 3B Jeremy Ramirez, (5-5, 2 2B, BB, 3 RBI). Jose Abreu also added a 3 run homer, his 9th on the season.

                            With that I had thoughts at maybe I should raise difficulty but there has been games where I have struggled so I will leave it to it's baseball and you get these games every once in awhile.

                            We did suffer an injury in the game when starter Carlos Rodon came out with a sore shoulder in the 6th inning. Team doctors reported it was just a strain after examination after the game and will likely miss only 1 start.

                            Peter Sierra will make his first career start in Rodon's place. Sierra has made 9 relief appearances this season going 3-1 with a 1.86 ERA, 14 K's in 29 IP.

                              2 games into a series with the Red Sox, and pretty much everything that can go wrong has. Early in the 1st game, EE would attempt and make a diving play at 1B but would end up with a separated shoulder, out 1-2 months. To add a lot more sting to that one, Boston would go on to walk it off in the bottom of the 9th on a sac fly to the warning track to win 7-6.

                              In game 2, Sale Vs Paxton, the Red Sox would walk it off for a second straight day after a game tying solo HR off the bat of Voit in the top of the 9th. This time it would be a towering floating fly ball from Chavis with 2 outs that didn’t have quite enough on it to make it over the Monster but that just didn’t seem to want to ever come back down. The ball hung up so long it allowed Betts to race all the way from 1st to home to win it without even a play at the plate. Red Sox win 4-3.


                              In order to force a split we must take the last 2. Next up, a duel between Bumgarner and David Price. This will be Bumgarner’s first start against the Sox as a Yankee. In game 4 it’s Keuchel vs Porcello.

                                2023 White Sox Franchise - End of May

                                White Sox end May with a 40-17 record extending division lead to 9 games.

                                White Sox made some roster moves in May sending struggling Closer Nate Jones to Charlotte and called up RP Adam Cimber. Tony Zych has taken over as closer for the time being. They also sent down IF Rob Refsnyder and called up Utilityman Hayden McClendon.

                                Sox are reportedly close to calling up Closer prospect Patrick McKenzie who would be put in a middle relief spot to get experience before he would get the closer spot once the call is made. McKenzie started off slow in AAA but has rebounded but the team still would like to wait a couple more weeks before the call.
