TB gets to play in a park with no upper deck and the ball should fly. They are a huge wildcard. (Athletics too. They can really hit)
Remember Vlad had 21HR in 42 games in a AAA/ ST park in 2021- we're still paying for that park boost. He was on pace for 67 and only finished with 48 after returning home.
Covid made Vlad filthy rich. If he never got to play in those tiny parks, he would have had just another 30 hr season and he'd be begging for 30m
No
I think the real comparison is blue jays and rays cause those two will be fighting to not be last in the AL East
Orioles will likely get Kyle Bradish and Tyler Wells back mid-season at some point. That Rogers trade was a big mistake though, losing a valuable trade piece like Norby for a fringe MLB player Rogers was utter stupidity.
Gunnar Henderson is significantly better than Bo or Vlad, it isn’t close.
Bo is a serious fellow and last year has probably pissed him off enough that he has 25/25/25 and bats 293plus to shut up all the bad articles and whiney no little podcasters with carroons
What we will miss is Kikuchi tackling opposing teams players.
