Manuel Barcia

Hasn't he got incentives that will put him in the mid $200,000s? He's conveniently forgetting that part.

🤷🏾‍♂️

Andres Pastrana between Castro and Epstein. Former president of Colombia. Not Raul Castro.

Hi Andrew. Left you a comment on YouTube. Thanks for relying this story to a wider public.

You forgot to add “again” at the end of your post. I had high hopes for him, but he’s more of the same. Can’t remember the last time a GM actually had the guts to make a competitive team better at the July deadline. Actually, I do. It was DD.

I’m starting to think Breslow is not very good at this trading players thingy.

It was even rarer for Cuban commentators to say a word about the Cubans in the Major Leagues, or about the Major Leagues themselves. Juan Carlos Oliva had a brother who was a superstar and not once anyone dared to say his name on TV or the written press. Same for all the others. Total blackout.

You know, his brother Juan Carlos stayed back in Cuba and was a heck of a pitcher for over a decade there.

Zoilo yes, definitely.

Yup. I'm pretty sure he did. Tony Perez didn't, though. He would have, but the MLB commissioner pulled the team from Havana in the summer of 1960.

Reluctantly, yes. But reluctantly. It would depend on who that no 2 would be.

I know. He also played for the Sugar Kings, the team I tried to write a book about, but failed. He was one of many amazing players, which included Julio Becquer, Leo Cardenas, Luis Arroyo, and Camilo Pascual, among many others.

Oh yeah. Absolutely. Didn’t mean to question that.

Maybe. Never really followed the Orioles. They do have a couple of Afro-Latin American/Caribbean players left, though. Sanchez and Canó.

Wirtz, Wirtz, Wirtz rock you! (to the tune of We Will Rock You, by Queen)

I see. Labour pretty much giving away all of their seats in Merseyside. Interesting.

How much longer are they going to let Buehler start games? Honest question. His past few starts have all been unmitigated disasters. Every time he starts, the team is down by the end of the 1st or 2nd inning.

He’s gonna shoot to the top of the Red Sox prospects list, right?

A steep climb up the rankings, which comes to no surprise to those who get to work here. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Never recovering from Mookie's trade. I can understand Xander and Devers, but they will never convince me that there was any reason not to pay Mookie.

Surely they should have shop him around trying to get a better return, no? This is a quantum trade. No way anyone can explain it to me in a way I will understand it.

Torres.

As per usual, managed to get through the first three paragraph and then this happened. No other online site does that every single time. Such a downer.

Yup. A pity, we we can’t really read what they write.

The number of times I try to read Liverpool Echo articles and the site crashes is just one too many.

Torres in 07.

This is the most dissapointing #RedSox team in the past 10/15 years, and boy there have been quite a few competitive teams in that span. Wow.
