    They basically have to keep him. Don't know their financial situation, but I'm guessing it's not like the Jays where they can just keep 50M of salary on guys not even on the team in order to create room for young guys.

    But Davis contract is one of reasons why teams are so cautious about spending. For all players mad at lack of spending, I'm sure there's more Davis like regrets than Altuve like steals. (Astros the model now for building a franchise. Altuve in 7 seasons made AS 6 times, Silver slugger 5 times, and won MVP. His COMBINED salary for those 7 seasons was under 22M!).

    If I'm an owner, obviously I'd rather try for the youth movement and getting guys with control at young age for cheaper, over an older player who is wanting money based on the stats put up in past season(s), who is more likely to regress.

      Gleyber with 2 bombs, 4 RBI. Oops, attributed one of Gary's to him. And Voit with another. Today we live by the home run.

          Waiting until after the Red Sox first homestand before allowing myself to become concerned is proving to be increasing difficult.

              Guess the Braves are challenging catcher blocking the plate?

              Dumb dumb call by Snitker for a squeeze there. Any contact with Ozzie running from 3rd is a run.

                I don't understand the blocking the plate rule still. There's been times I've thought the catcher gave a runner plenty of room and they enforced the rule. Then there is that play where Ozzie had no lane to the plate at all in my opinion and it was ruled legal. Is it only on throws from the outfield/cutoff man? Is it all plays at the plate? If so, what lane did Ozzie have there? Legitimately asking.

                  Cubs getting no hit tonight would be a nice addition to the collection that is the 2019 Chicago Cubs.

                      Just a bit outside, Carl.

                      What am I even watching right now?

                        This Cub team is the least watchable version since at least 2010. Even the rebuilding teams leading up to the 2016 title at least played hard.

                        Chatwood is in so he'll turn a close deficit into a clear Braves victory.

                          Darvish seems to be struggling for control here in the rain, who should I bring in? How about the guy with just about the least control of anyone in the majors? Seemed like a great plan, can't believe it didn't work out

                          EDIT then he replaces him with Chatwood! Someone check to see if Maddon has bet on how many walks and WP's his team will give up today

                            So when does Maddon get fired? June? August? Offseason? This could be the worst $200M team ever put together.

                              This Cubs bullpen seriously rivals the Braves from last year. I guess I got spoiled by some decent bullpens because I don't remember them being this bad in baseball.

                                Wow that's unlucky. Can't throw strikes and then an easy out, possibly DP bounces off your glove
