I was about to get angry about the headline and then see they want to REDUCE the clock and I love it. I thought the league was gonna cave to players not liking it.
Sources: MLB mulls tweaks to pitch clock rules
MLB is weighing a proposal that would reduce the pitch clock with runners on base from 20 seconds to 18 next season, sources told ESPN.www.espn.com

Maybe next year.
Pitch clock is the best thing baseball’s done in at least 50 years. Certainly the biggest impact on the game since probably the DH. Love it. Regular season games ending at a sane hour? I’ll have that, please.

Another depth move for AAA, nothing wrong with that.
Nice project for Andrew Bailey to work on ( assuming we hire him).

Red Sox sign ex-Rockies pitching prospect who flashed 101 mph before shoulder injury
The Red Sox are always looking for low-risk, high-potential arms. They signed one Thursday in a former Rockies pitching prospect who flashed 100 mph before shoulder surgery.

Anyone else think there’s a relatively big shakeup coming?
Not saying they‘ll trade Devers or anything and Verdugo probably doesn’t constitute “big”….but I saw somewhere that Chapman might be a target.
Any chance Cassas is moved with or independent of Verdugo for pitching and they move Devers to 1B, Chapman to 3B and Masa to DH?

Whoa, what's this now??
And it wouldn't surprise me if there is something along the lines of a "big shakeup"...but that could just as easily be ownership (wisely, I might add) ponying up for Ohtani.

I know there will be a million rumors this winter. Just saw the Chapman one and tried to figure out a way that the lineup could work with him in it.

I was watching MLB network while doing some work earlier and I looked up in time to see a graphic that had Chapman, with the logos of several “interested” teams underneath…including the Sox.
I got back to work and lost track of any follow up to it.

Shohei accepted the MVP award with his dog.
He's seriously the most adorable human on earth

If the Sox would ever pony up the money it would take to get him, I'd never criticize them again. He IS that good. And just a good human being overall.
I think the deciding factor in where Ohtani ends up will be based on how he gets used as a pitcher. My guess is that Ohtani is going to want to continue to be a regular starting pitcher, and if I'm an owner/GM of a club spending 100s of millions of dollars to get him, I'm not so sure I'd be comfortable with putting him on the mound every 5th day and playing him at DH/OF the other 4.
Given his arm issues, and his workload, I'd want assurances that he'd be willing to agree to missing every other start and go on a 7-10 day schedule. I think you gotta manage his workload, but I'm not so sure he'd be willing to agree to that as a condition to signing him.

Please tell me we're talking Matt and not Aroldis. I am IN on Matt Chapman. I don't care about the current roster configuration. You put him at 3rd, Devers DH, Casas 1B. Try unloading Yoshida if it makes sense.
There was a 5 for 1 deal tonight.
This is such a weird trade for a guy who sucked last year. I don't think I have ever heard of a 5 player swap for a middling reliver. What gives with this trade? Gotta be something I am missing.
