Not that it takes any team off the hook for not spending as there's plenty of teams that have cut this year or never spend regardless, but that graphic about payrolls this year doesn't have arbitration figured in and some of those numbers will be fairly big for some teams which will at least bring some teams even to last year if not push some over.

I saw one on Twitter that said Bryce Harper looks like he hasn't slept since Lindor's grand slam.

Why you bringing up old shyt

Because I can

And that reminds me, here's the random stat of the day:

In 1994 the Montreal Expos had 5 All Stars: Darrin Fletcher, Wil Cordero, Moises Alou, Marquis Grissom, and Ken Hill.

(Larry Walker finished 11th in MVP, and Cliff Floyd 5th in Rookie of the Year, and Ken Hill 2nd in Cy Young)

How the voting looks going into tonight's HOF announcement

In less than 24 hours, we’ll find out who the Baseball Writers’ Association of America has elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025, joining Classic Era Committee electees dikk Allen and Dave Parker. Thanks to Ryan Thibodaux’s Hall of Fame ballot tracker, we can keep up

www.mlb.com

Don't forget the Hall of Fame announcement is on 1/21

One thing is certain: the drama will be high as we anticipate the official announcement, which will be made live on MLB Network at 6 p.m. ET on Jan. 21.

I'm putting in Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, and I'll be voting for Andruw Jones.

Giants can't attract any A level talent. It's weird. Their City Connect jerseys aren't doing them any favors. lol

Too bad Cohen can't drive up the price for Sasaki like he did with Yamamoto and the LA Deferrals.
