This is a bizarre take. So we can make maybe the best NFL player of all time happy and proud of the city he plays in but an NBA star is a bridge too far? With a university 30 mins away that has the best home court in all of college basketball? Multiple national titles with McDonald's all Americans? Sells out every game? I realize you cheer for Mizzou and don't understand success in college athletics but don't project your insecurities to a potential NBA franchise.

:Royals: Alec Marsh :Royals: Let's GO!! Marsh gave up a homer to the first batter he faced! He did get his first strike out though in the first inning.

That Mookie Betts guy seems pretty good. Royals should try to sign him.

Betts 2 Rs 0

Marsh is pressing and can't find the strike zone now. Time to give him the hook.

I just want a baseball superstar. Is that too much to ask?

Imagine being a franchise like the Red Sox and trading that away when you have the ability to keep him. Of course Boston deserves it for being a shithole

So they traded him for a guy that is 3-4 years away. Those are the kind of guys they should be trading for. This other pitcher is old and crap.

SportsCenter had a crazy thing they just showed. Bret Saberhagen is still getting paid from the Mets 250k a year since 2004 and it will go to 2028.

Bobby Bonilla Day is tomorrow. He gets $1.19 Million dollars every July 1 from the Mets since 2011 in a deferred payment arrangement. He'll get that until 2035.

Ohtani is just on another level. 493 feet homer longest in majors this year.

Roni Cabrera has a 172 wRC+ with an 18.8 BB% and 10.9K% in a repeat of the DSL as a 17-year-old. That's promising. But this league is such a crapshoot. Hard to put too much stock into the stats until they get stateside in the complex leagues.

But you never know. Fernando Tatis Jr. was a throw in like this in the James Shields trade.
