MWil23 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I've given up/counted them out and been suckered back into believing in the Tribe 3 separate times this year. #Cleveland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slateman Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Anthony Rendon now leads the NL in average and RBI. Hes second in OPS and tied for second wRC+. How many home runs does he have to be within, in order to beat out Bellinger for the MVP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a half win fWAR lead on Bellinger with 2 weeks to go but I doubt he gets that benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Bellinger has been better defensively, but a lot of that is due to some luck. Its not like Rendon is bad on defense either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think Bellinger is going to get the best team LA bias when it comes to the voting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 ESPN: The Boston Red Sox are on track to pay a $13.05 million luxury tax for a season in which they are likely to miss the playoffs. The World Series champions' payroll for purposes of the tax increased from $239.7 million on Opening Day to $242.8 million on Aug. 31, according to calculations by the commissioner's office obtained by The Associated Press. Teams are allowed to get to $206 million before the luxury tax kicks in. As of Opening Day, the Red Sox were projected for an $11.76 million tax. Entering Saturday, Boston (77-70) was 8 1/2 games out for the second AL wild card with 15 games remaining. The Red Sox fired president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski last weekend.

Ironically, it seems you really can't buy a championship in MLB. You still have to have a good scouting and player development program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes down to talent evaluation, development and a fair amount of luck. The higher spenders do have a better shot at winning - thats been proven - but the continued presence of teams like Oakland and Tampa Bay (and not a few years ago of Kansas City <of all teams>) shows an organization can succeed and not have the leading payroll.

Like the Giants, Royals, Cardinals, or Astros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
