Dodgers sign Kenta Maeda for 8 years. The guy is like 5'9", 150 and looks like he can barely throw the baseball 60' to the plate. Mask o Truth, what do you think? 8 years for this guy? Good god.

welcome to NY Aroldis Chapman the Yankees legit have the most dominant bullpen in baseball. Please PLEASE PLEASE leave it as is. You're going against a 1-2-3 of Betances/Chapman/Miller....you're done. They can mix and match guys at closer or set up, if one guy gets hurt, any one of them can fill in. Like seriously. Miller's probably gonna get traded for some crapbag 4th or 5th starter. And we'll be right back to where we were last year. But still...at this point, I'm kind of excited. Now we wait for Lozo to come in and complain about how this deal absolutely killed any hopes the Yankees ever had, ever. Cue in 3...2...1... As long as the Yankees keep Miller, they will be fine. Now, as far as Chapman goes....talent-wise, I'm glad to have him. Not real crazy about the fact that the ONLY reason we do have him is because of a domestic abuse incident that made nobody else want to touch him....it's kinda hard to be a fan of guys who aren't good people, no matter how talented they are. I don't really want to root for a guy who beats women.

The Dodgers just wreak of desperation, but Kershaw/Kazmir/Maeda isn't bad. Hopefully Maeda doesn't blow his arm out for a season the way the others have. The Dodgers have such an odd rotation as it stands though. All lefties and Maeda? Not sure how they'll play that. The Dodgers still don't scare anyone with their lackluster offense. Time for them to trade that pitching for some solid offensive pieces.

If Kenta Maeda wins 12 games in MLB this season, I will buy his shirsey. dodgerman, he is wearing a Hiroshima Carp (the team Hiroki Kuroda plays for) hat, which for some reason is the same logo and colors as the Cincinnati Reds.

It appears this front office wants to build this team ala KC Royals from the ground up. The Dodgers do have one of the better farms in baseball.

I hope Piazza goes in the Hall Of Fame, even if it is as a Met.

Alex Gordon signs 4 year deal to come back home.
It's like 2015 never ended in KC.

Ken Griffey Jr and Mike Piazza are going into the Hall of Fame. Jeff Bagwell who shouldve been voted in years ago fell short by 4%.

I don't really want to root for a guy who beats women. Are or were you not a big Clemens fan? I mean, I loved the guy but someone that was in all likelihood banging an underage Mindy McCready and having multiple extra marital affairs, including ones with married women, isnt someone I would classify as "good people". But anyway, not the reason I came here. Just wanted to say I was really happy Griffey was in the hall. I honestly dont understand the 3 ballots that didnt have him on it. To me Griffey & Jeter should both be unanimous choices (at least from my era) both guys are 100% class acts on the diamond.

To me Griffey & Jeter should both be unanimous choices (at least from my era) both guys are 100% class acts on the diamond. Mindy McCready said nothing ever happened between them while she was underage. That's a rumor that was created and spread by the media. Pretty much every celebrity and athlete is having affairs or sleeping with a ton of people. Consensual relationships between adults is a little different than beating a woman, or incidents involving guns. Aroldis Chapman allegedly choked out his girlfriend and then went into the garage and stated shooting a gun at stuff.....and on top of that, the Yankees new 2B, Starlin Castro, has been accused of RAPE in the past. The Yankees are really racking up a bunch of class acts. I guess that's the only way they are going to get talented players on the cheap is that if they are such scumbags that nobody else will touch them? Again, I don't really care who's sleeping with who as long as it's legal.....Derek Jeter allegedly slept with so many women they say he did some of them twice and didn't even remember them from the first time....but that's not illegal. I just don't want a team full of criminals.

the problem with sports is that somehow the media has now created a "Guilty until proven innocent" attitude with EVERYONE

This Kenta Maeda deal is probably going to bite LA squarely in the ass.
Tons of red flags about his elbow in the physical, and they still give him 8 years. Kei Igawa Mach II.

Aroldis Chapman will not be charged for the "incident"
Yankees have the best bullpen in baseball this year. Amazing.
