It would be nice to say that we’re X days away from pitchers and catchers, and X days away from Opening Day 2027. Even if it’s a long time from now, it’s comforting to have a final date in mind! It’s the same idea as when you’re a kid, it’s always X days until Christmas, your birthday, the last day of school, etc. But while there are technically dates in place, the MLB owners’ pending lockout on December 1st hangs over everyone’s head like the Sword of Damocles. Hopefully the worst is that the season
just gets delayed like the start of 2022, but … we’ll find out, huh?
We have a couple items ahead on the site today, Jake will celebrate both the 37th birthday and the up-and-down Yankees career of Giancarlo Stanton; it will be interesting to see if they call it with one year remaining on his contract, or if they at least see it out to the beginning on 2027. Later, John will have the weekly Social Media Spotlight.
Questions/Prompts:
1. If you were to guess, where do you think Jazz Chisholm Jr. ends up in free agency?
2. Let’s consider another! If you were to guess, where do you think Trent Grisham ends up in free agency?
