His first sentence said it all: "I just don't understand."
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I was actually a fan of Pete Rose in the early 1980's when he played with the Phillies. I even wrote to him and he sent me back a picture of him becoming the all time leader in hits in the NL plus a letter thanking me for taking the time to write him. I think I was 9 at the time. I admired his style of play and his dedication to the game. I started thinking he was a douche when he was suspended 30 days for shoving umpire Dave Pallone in '88 and it's been downhill ever since.

Why, it's almost like he's aged poorly after taking all those shots to the head throughout his career and doing nothing about it.

The Dodgers refusing to offer a fair deal for Hamels, then losing Greinke AND not signing Iwakuma is my favorite thing. I don't get to have a lot of happiness from baseball right now, so schadenfreude will suffice.

Man, the Cardinals and their fans have been embarrassing themselves to no end since Heyward went to Chicago.

Man, a lot of betrayals going on in MLB here recently.
It's the right move to let him go, it's just annoying as fuck because A) Mets management seems content to just waste an opportunity where you have a cheap young stuff pitching staff for the next 3-5 years, and B) you just know the fucker's gonna have a good season hitting in front of Harper

Yankees acquire Aroldis Chapman from the Reds for 4 minor leaguers.

Hey Headache, maybe you can help with this one. Daniel Murphy is offered 15.8 million by the Mets. He refused that and eventually signs with the Nats for 3 years at 37.5 million. Averaging 12.5 million per season. He stood to make more with the Mets and then become a free agent again after the 2016 season. If he has a better year than 2015, he could be in line for another raise for the 2017 season. Why would he do this?

Guaranteed money. He could fall off a cliff this year.

Sure, but it's only an additional 2 years. Does he have that little faith in his abilities? I mean I guess I couldn't care less what he does. He's the Nats problem now.
If I were him, I would have gone to an AL team and transitioned myself to being strictly a DH. He's a liability in the field.

It's three years of security as opposed to one. I've seen the same thing happen over the last few years a few times. Baseball players can be fragile.
Because 37.5 is more than 15.8?

Junior and Piazza are in! Bagwell, Hoffman, and Raines come up short.

About damn time.
Shame about Bagwell, but it looks like he'll make it in next year.
