I hate to do the dreaded ‘some personal news’ thing, but I have some personal news!. Starting next month, I will be joining the team at @baseballpro. This has been a goal of mine ever since I started at @draysbay 3 years ago.

Jansen's framing is becoming comically bad at this point. That walk to Meyers is on him. I do believe he is trying, but the technique is absolutely atrocious. There is too much wasted movement. Watch as his glove goes up, down, and then back up. Just not good.

Extremely excited to be back on the pages of @draysbay, in which I dissect Danny Jansen's framing technique. via @draysbay.

It could be a simple fix. It could also be more complicated.

Just to add to this, Montgomery's fastball carries a 149 Stuff+ right now and got as high as 102 last night. Truly ridiculous stuff.
WE ARE SO BACK @baseballpro .

I can’t believe Ryan Pepiot would do this….
The Tampa Bay Rays have agreed to return $200,000 the team received to promote a company that engaged in an alleged Ponzi scheme. Read the full story by @mgfleming12 ⬇️.

Andrew Wantz could be a poor man's Jason Adam imo. Here is Wantz (2023) on the left and Adam (2024) on the right. Arm slots are v similar. Changeup could really play up if he moves to the first base side of the rubber and throws it more to to both righties and lefties #rays
Andrew Wantz has pitched in relief for LAA over the past 3 seasons and has posted so-so results but he does have good stuff. Very high spin 4seam that can touch 96, a good horizontal breaking cutter as well as a sweeper (shown below). Was just optioned to AAA.

LOVE this extension for the Rays! Who did they sign? What are the money and years?.

Hey internet. It’s been a while! Hoping to write a lot more next year than I have been. For now, I just wanted to let everyone know that I still have a sweet mullet.

Imagine paying thousands of dollars to attend a World Series game only to assault a player on live TV.

I have to imagine at this point that Shohei Ohtani is disappointed by MLB competition.

He better be part of the package for Yandy.
I swear to God if he's good at this and pitching for any other team we riot.

I like Zuber but if I am honest the Mets may have been better off just promoting Gervase straight from AA. What an absolute steal.
Source: the Mets are also getting reliever Tyler Zuber from the Rays for Paul Gervase.
