I am trying to figure out if Milwaukee honored or screwed Lorenzo Cain. Earlier this week I was reading that he would celebrate 10 full years in the majors during this stint with Milwaukee and with that he qualified for a full major league pension. I do not know if that means that if was considered on the team at 12:01 am this morning then he qualified or if he did not last the day (or game), he did not make it. Applause to the Brewers if they kept him long enough to receive the pension.
I am also not sure what it means to get a pension or how much you receive if you just had a $51M contract that would be completed this year. One would think you could live off that forever if you did not have an entourage spending it wildly and obviously there have been plenty of professional athletes go bankrupt after their career is over.

Cain's contract was actually 5 years/$80 million. Brewers got some good value the first 2 years, but the last 3 have been a disaster and crippled the team.

I was just going by the figure you mentioned. It is a big number regardless, LOL. And he has been a disaster the last few years with those numbers. He was a good player for KC.

Crazy that the Red Sox have gone 19-5 in June, but have only picked up a half game on the Yankees. I hate them with a passion but even I'll admit, Yanks are the proverbial "House of Fire" so far this year. Sox aren't gonna catch them.

After last night, now you've lost a half game this month as we are 20-5 in June.

The MLB All Star Game has a clause now where the commissioner can add 2 active legends to the rosters and Albert Pujols and Miguel Cabrera have been named to the teams.

So since it seems like the Sox are falling backwards again and don’t look like a Xander extension is coming I wonder if they’re going to dangle him this month.
Now if they continue dragging their feet on Devers I’ll be pretty PO’ed. Trading Betts sucked, don’t lose another homegrown star because ownership decided to be cheap this year.

The Washington Nationals offered Juan Soto 15 years/$440 million and he said not enough

Well, that’ll probably be it for Chris Sale’s season. $30 million well spent.

It reminded of Derek Carr dislocating his pinky finger in 2016. Unfortunately in this case it's broken, and it's harder to throw a baseball as intended compared to a football.

Can confirm the Red Sox did not have any twilight-sky fly ball practice over the All-Star break.
Nor standard pop-ups.. 😂

Royals trade Andrew Benintendi to the Yank for garbage right before they face off in a 4-game series.

I assume they only made the deal because he agreed to get vaccinated.
