Have to see him by April 9th cause of PPI. Happy they got the deal done early but he needs to be up asap.
Emmerson is a better hitter in every way than White ever was, playing years younger, plus he is a quality defender are a premium position.
Best segment you guys have ever done…
Every league should have a salary cap makes league more competitive
ABS needs to have the same strike zone as defined in the rule book. The strike zone is a 3 D box, not a line across the middle of the plate. As demonstrated in the Yankees Mariners game, Castillo threw a strike as per the rules, ABS called it a ball because the ball crossed the plate before the middle line.
Jeff is smart, baseball opinions aren't valid until may 1st and you don't know if they matter until june 1st.
Emerson could be a bust like Kelenic.They will need to play him at 2nd base .
Jeff Passan is always great.
Tell me this won't be Evan White 2.0
Because he wants the signing bonus before the 9.9% tax kicks in. If it’s a substantial amount it’s a no brainer.
I do so very much love Passan. Anyone who dresses down Salk is priceless. The irony of the “arrogance” and “incompetence” comonversations was pungent and oh so welcome.
I love Jeff Passan segments
Passen is the Man”sen”
We need salary cap, I don’t watch baseball anymore because I know the dodgers will win the World Series. They have all the good players because they have the money to spend.
The logical inference of what Jeff is saying is that if fans want a salary cap, they are going to have to let the owners know with their wallets.
The Yankees got lucky – they were 0.1 inches away from burning a challenge in the 4th inning. That's what we call a bad beat.
Gosh I love Passan 😂😂 "I'm the guest and I want to talk about it.".
Maybe I dunno. Ms got 1 good bat in FA, didn't improve the defense or bullpen at all though which were huge issues last season. If Ms are even contenders at the break they'll need to get better in the pen and in the infield.
Passan is the goat
