Get the eff off Twitter and see me and your friends on Bluesky. I’ll be signing off here myself and will miss you. I’m Doc Hubbard on that site.

Ps - don’t tell the right wing freaks about it - it’s actually kinda sane and nice over there - let’s keep it that way

From Vin Scully to @SmithJanetmarie to Fernandomania, read essays from our new #SABR Digital Library book, "Dodger Stadium: Blue Heaven on Earth," now online at https://t.co/bUmYgirtzW @Dodgers

@Dodgers today we laid to rest Fernando🙏 Far to soon but what he did while here was Historic!! I think of my friend often ❤️ Terrific turnout but of course there was!! Job well done RIP

Buster Posey plans to be a people focused leader. What that means: less attention paid to industry groupthink, more attention paid to what his scouting-focused group thinks. (Also, the analysts are being relocated from their prominent clubhouse offices.) https://t.co/A9hp4bmemO

Did Buster Posey not value Brandon Belt's contributions to those Giants teams when he was a player?

[Southwest Baseball Dude @SWBaseballDude]

@baseballtwit Me too. I’m heartbroken 💔

@Blazipedia @friarphilSD There several in several states - are you kidding?

[Baseball’s Greatest Moments @BBGreatMoments]

Crazy that Vin Scully could make a play with a million errors sound completely soothing.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

Right-hander Michael Wacha and the Kansas City Royals are in agreement on a three-year, $51 million contract, sources tell ESPN. The deal includes a club option and can max out at four years, $72 million.

I don't think any of these guys belong in the HOF.

[Southwest Baseball Dude @SWBaseballDude]

@MarshallGarvey Correct

Baseball is Dead

[Jim Bowden⚾️ @JimBowdenGM]

The Yankees are expected to extend the contract of Gerrit Cole for 1 more year-at $36 million keeping him off the free agent market according to a club source

[Jon Heyman @JonHeyman]

Sean Manaea has opted out of Mets deal. Had $13.5M for 2025 left. Now a free agent.
