Padres “By the way, are you interested to become a two-way player by pitching and catching?”

If you happened to watch the Bills-Rams game on Fox — a game that finished with 86 combined points — the last two minutes revealed something.

It was Brady’s best broadcasting sequence of the season.

This is the third Scott Boras pitcher who signed early, joining Snell and Kikuchi.

MLB needs more revenue sharing to balance out the market size gap. Then it requires recipient teams to spend some portion or all of the money from revenue sharing and luxury tax. The league will cut the sharing next year or give it back if they fail to do so. It will work as salary floor.

While I partially agree with his argument, the parity in MLB does not come with the competitive balance but the randomness in playoffs. The regular season results are strongly aligned with wealth. Meanwhile, MLB needs a rule to stop some owners being cheap.

Now RoY needs to be less controversial than picking only one rookie from pitchers and batters as it rewards PPI pick and thus has a decent impact to a player recruitment. It is no longer just a prize for a young man.

Nothing against Skenes, but I need MLB to split the RoY award to two, one for a pitcher and the other for a batter. It’s a shame to see Jackson Merrill receiving no candy or PPI pick with a wonderful rookie season, in which he played for 156 games.

The Pirates have had 2 Rookie of the Year winners:

2024 Paul Skenes
2004 Jason Bay

Paul Skenes and Luis Gil are the first pair of starting pitchers to win Rookie of the Year in the same season since 1981 Dave Righetti and Fernando Valenzuela
