World Series zelf zijn niet interessant genoeg om te posten, heren?

Braves dus inderdaad gewonnen.

Zag afgelopen nacht een stukje omdat ik niet in slaap kwam, wat mij opviel is dat het daar de blijkbaar wel kan om supporters van beide partijen door elkaar heen te hebben zitten, compleet met shirts van de Braves en juichende uitsupporters naast balende thuissupporters.

“I think pitching is always going to be a priority,” Minasian said. “You can never have enough. We understand that the mound is a place where we’d like to significantly improve. Not just improve, but significantly improve.”

Astros zijn trouwens wel goed geworden. Maar goed, eens zal dat wel weer ophouden.

The Angels made their first major move to address the rotation on Tuesday, agreeing to terms with right-hander Noah Syndergaard on a one-year deal worth $21 million, a source told MLB.com's Anthony DiComo. The club has not confirmed the deal, which is pending a physical.

Verrassend, je zou toch verwachten dat hij na twee jaar TJS blessureleed waarin hij niet of nauwelijks heeft gegooid iets zou hebben van 'hmmm, die mensen hier hebben me twee jaar lang doorbetaald, allerlei medische kosten gemaakt en een fanbase die met me mee leeft, laat ik nog eens bijtekenen bij de Mets en niet voor 10% meer naar het westen verkassen'. Dan is dit toch een beetje follow the money. Andre Onana, anyone? Zit Noah soms bij ome Scott?
Maar goed, in maart dan is iedereen dat weer vergeten en als die jongen fit blijft dan is dit een sensationele versterking voor LAA. Angels in outfield and Thor on the mound. Zoiets. Wel weer een typische Angels actie; er veel geld in stoppen en dan hopen op een bounce back jaar. Ben benieuwd. Omdat steeds meer werpers goed terug komen na TJ zou dit nog best een succes kunnen worden.

Ze komen behoorlijk goed terug van TJ, maar volgens mij duurt het wel een half jaartje (minimaal! ) voordat ze weer echt op niveau zijn. Meestal is het tweede jaar beter.

Eppler played a lead role in recruiting Shohei Ohtani, was a big reason Trout decided to spend the rest of his career with the Angels, and infused a depleted farm system with high-end talent. But he consistently came up short addressing the pitching staff, an issue that has plagued the franchise throughout his half-decade tenure.

ANAHEIM -- The Angels made their first major addition to the bullpen this offseason on Monday, signing veteran left-hander Aaron Loup to a two-year deal worth $17 million. Loup will earn $7.5 million in both 2022 and '23, with a club option for '24 worth $7.5 million or a $2 million buyout.

NEW YORK -- With a virtual handshake, the Mets on Monday announced themselves not just as major contenders for the upcoming season, but perhaps in perpetuity. Taking the sort of bold stroke they rarely have in recent decades, the Mets agreed in principle Monday to a three-year, $130 million contract with three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer, according to multiple sources.
...
Already this offseason, the Mets have handed out $254.5 million in guaranteed contracts, including an MLB-record $43.3 million average annual value for Scherzer, giving the Mets the highest payroll in the Majors by a significant margin. The team has not led baseball in payroll since 1989, when they did so with a $21.3 million Opening Day figure -- or a little less than Scherzer will make before the All-Star break.

... In the union’s latest proposal, it is seeking the luxury tax raised from $210 million to $245 million with lower penalties for the teams exceeding the threshold.

MLB, which originally was seeking a $180 million luxury tax to go with a $100 million floor, have proposed raising the threshold to $214 million in 2022 and increasing to $220 million in the final year of the five-year agreement.

The union, which had previously opposed expanding the playoffs to 14 teams, now have proposed a 12-team format with a realignment of the leagues: two eight-team divisions and two seven-team divisions.

MLB proposed free agency to begin at the age of 29 ½ – or six years of major-league service, whichever comes first, while the union wants that age to be lowered.

MLB proposed the elimination of the arbitration system and awarding salaries based on WAR, which the union strongly opposed, and is now off the table.

The two sides appear to be making progress on agreeing on a universal DH, and MLB embraced the union’s proposal for a uniform advertisement to create revenue.

At 11:59 p.m. ET on Wednesday, the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) -- the negotiated accord that governs almost every aspect of the working relationship between Major League Baseball players and team owners -- expired. Less than two hours prior to that deadline, however, owners voted unanimously to force a work stoppage on Thursday. They did so in the form of a lockout. As such, baseball will endure a work stoppage for the first time since the players' strike of 1994-95.
