Sources telling @feinsand and me that the #Phillies and OF Max Kepler are working on a one-year deal, pending a physical. Kepler, 31, has spent entire 10-year career with the Twins.
This past week has been extremely disappointing for MLB Twitter. This is a post with 3,000+ likes and no pushback. The comments are flooded with people agreeing. Bigotry is still rampant amongst sports fan circles.
Imagine a Yoshinobu Yamamoto-Shōta Imanaga trade (just one player for the other and their contracts go with them).
Would you do it if you were the Dodgers? 🤔
Would you do it if you were the Cubs? 🤔
The poll is attached.
Every MLB team has the ability to look up Bauer's pitch data in Japan. If teams actually cared about his talent as a pitcher, he wouldn't still be here trying out for a traveling showcase team. Pathetic and delusional.
John Fisher is bad for Oakland, bad for the A's, and bad for baseball. How is the game supposed to grow when the immediate future of one of its most historic franchises is in a state of perpetual limbo?

Props to Field of Schemes for staying on the A’s trainwreck. Related: Trop land owner (Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc.) brought in respected Marnell Companies for renderings and consultation—conclusion was space is too limited for retractable roof design, so more room needed, but due to proximity to the airport, the planned resort can’t make up revenue (due to smaller footprint) by building higher. These obstacles in addition to Bally’s Corp. having no resources and A’s having provided no clues about its $1 billion contribution. If the A’s move happens at all, look to the Festival Grounds or Rio.
Bauer has done so little wrong that MLB's investigation process only led to the longest suspension in MLB history. And when he challenged the suspension, a neutral arbitrator sided with MLB. Every team has a copy of that arbitrator's decision, which includes Bauer's admissions.
2 guys who pitched for the Yokohama Bay Stars in '23:
Trevor Bauer (turns 33 on January 17):
130⅔ IP, 119 H, 14 HR, 31 BB, 130 SO, 40 ER
Shota Imanaga (turned 30 on September 1):
148 IP, 132 H, 17 HR, 24 BB, 174 SO, 46 ER
The Brewers earned a second straight convincing victory at Yankee Stadium.
They are 22-12 since the trade deadline.
Legitimate World Series contender led by one of the best managers in @MLB.
