The Dodgers are designating Trevor Bauer for assignment. Los Angeles now has until Thursday at 2pm ET to trade him, at which time he must be placed on unrestricted waivers. If no team claims him, he will become a free agent on Friday.

Bauer is going to face the Dodgers in the playoffs, choke em out, and fracture their skull.

LINK Good read from a Hall of Fame Voter and his methodology
quote:
How can you vote for the steroid guys!?!
I wrestled with this question for years before I had a vote, but more and more, I don't believe the BBWAA should play the role of moral policeman regarding steroids.
If we examine precedent, there are almost certainly steroid users in the Hall, and the commissioner who oversaw the era, Bud Selig, has a plaque in Cooperstown.
I also doubt there is a deterrence effect if a player isn't admitted. If a player elects to use PEDs, is he really thinking about his Cooperstown chances?
Moreover, MLB and the Hall have already set a policy for ineligibility: if a player fails three PED tests, he is placed on the ineligible list.
Steroids are a black-and-white issue for many. For me, it's a gray area.
quote:
I've come up with an imperfect method: discounting performance. If a player fails a PED test, I discount his career performance by 10%. That still allows great performers with failed tests to get a pass (Alex Rodriguez and Manny Ramirez), but a fringe candidate whose PED use might have helped him exceed benchmarks doesn't get in.
As for cheating in the case of Carlos Beltran and his role in the Astros' sign-stealing saga, players have stolen signs throughout history - just not as brazenly as Beltran and the Astros did. I thought MLB should have disciplined the players involved, but there is no precedent of a sign-stealer being banned from the Hall.

Anyone need a job? The Brewers suddenly need a new head of security.

A man passed out in the bushes outside the Milwaukee Brewers' stadium after a game and, upon awakening, entered the team's clubhouse and stole electronics, a credit card, team memorabilia and other items, according to a criminal complaint.
The 25-year-old man was charged Dec. 14 with felony burglary, online court records show.
The complaint says the man attended a Sept. 8 doubleheader against the San Francisco Giants at Milwaukee's American Family Field, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. He said he drank at least 10 beers, passed out, woke up and got back inside the stadium by pulling on a door until it opened.
He found his way to the clubhouse and started taking stuff from the locker room, the complaint said. A team strength coach said items taken from his office included a laptop, iPods, headphones, a passport and a credit card.
A jersey and a shaving kit were taken from manager Craig Counsell's office, and an equipment manager said a game-used hat, an autographed bat, a 45-year anniversary 1982 signed bat, a replica World Series ring, and keys to the team's Arizona spring training facility were stolen from his office. Two game jerseys and a bag with baseballs and pitching devices were taken from the coaches' locker room, according to the complaint.

I'm surprised Andrew Chafin is still a free agent, he was good last year with Detroit and has been for awhile now. You would think teams would want a lefty who can gets lefties and righties out the same.

Agreed, I was hoping Boston would grab him.

He was good with the Cubs the year before too. Would help any team if he pitches the way he has the last two years.
