If he injured someone while driving then that's a whole different story. But a DUI isn't comparable at all to what Osuna or Alomar got busted for.

I totally missed that news. I see he pled guilty to reckless driving. I have no idea what the law is in Florida but I'm guessing that's not a criminal conviction (careless driving wouldn't be Ontario). He's safe to keep his job.

I hear where you're coming from with Osuna or Alomar. But neither of them were convicted criminally of anything, either. I'm not sure if I would agree that DUI isn't worse than what they were alleged to have done given the number of people who die from impaired drivers every year. Moot point now since he wasn't convicted of it.

Cleveland is expected to have Wilson Contreras and Josh Bell are their primary targets this off season as LHP platoon posters for Naylor and in DH roles. They may add a vet pitcher for the #4 or 5 slot as well.

Love to see them trying to add power but since both are FAs, they'll be outbid on both.

They could have acquired Contreras at the deadline.

What I worry about is the further ripple if that happens.

Dodgers go crazy and get Judge.

Yankees lose their mind and give up everything for Ohtani.

Seen rumors of Jays going hard after Ohtani trade.

Mets, Dodgers, and Yankees going after Judge is going to be fantastic this off season
