Has Ime Udoka helped or stunted the development of Reed Sheppard?
English
@JeffPassan But this isn’t really locking him up through his prime, because they have 7+ years of control anyway - and he would be slated to hit FA at 28.
English
Between Colt Emerson today and Cooper Pratt with Milwaukee yesterday, teams more and more are willing to give big money to players with no major league service time but the pedigree to be frontline players. The allure of having a player’s prime locked up makes it worth the risk.
English
Top shortstop prospect Colt Emerson’s eight-year, $95 million contract extension with the Seattle Mariners will be done this afternoon, sources tell ESPN. Emerson will remain at Triple-A for now but is clearly a big part of Seattle’s future. First with the news: @ByRobertMurray.

Javier would go on to only 4 homers in 7 starts, meaning he was on average to allow around 17 (his 2022 number), the hard hit was down while the velo was also down (92 MPH AVG) so this clearly wasn’t the issue, could it just be ST? I guess we’ll see next weekend.
English
What’s up with Cristian Javier a thread🧵:
Javier pitched his LAST outing of spring training today and sat averaged 91 MPH on his fastball/sinker. He threw this pitch 52% of the time yesterday which, in my opinion, is FAR too high for a pitcher like him and of his pitch type.

@knotacasualfan @USMNT You mean like every other youth sport in the US?
English
@USMNT Us is still at least a generation away from being competitive. We'll never be a factor until they eliminate the pay for place system that ruins development across the entire united states

@AFCMattxx @CarefreeLewisG £55M for Mount, lol - plus it was £40M for Garnacho, not 50
English
Not a single Chelsea fan cares about what Garnacho does on insta.
He was ass before the profile change & he’ll be ass after. Hope this helps
່@pxrcyishim
chelsea fans, don’t panic. I can assure you that this version of garnacho is scary than noodle hair ronaldo, not for us but for you😭😂

@RocketsMac @RedNinetyFour Harden, Booker, and Kobe were all perennial all-stars by their 5th season. His ceiling might be Bradley Beal, and he’s still a long ways off from that level.
English
“Young players have bad games” is VERY contradicting since you love to bash Jalen every chance you get when he has an off night knowing he’s a young player as well 💀

This is why I go back to the deadline inactivity. You had Coby White, Ayo, and Alvarado all right there on the cheap. IF the GM thought the only way to get the coach to play the freaking former #3 overall pick was to not upgrade the roster, that’s just pure organizational dysfunction. Nights like last night are bound to happen, in terms of Reed. Young players have bad games! It’s a thing! Meanwhile, Kevin Durant dropped 40, Sengun is rounding back into All-Star form, and Amen Thompson is surging. I’ll never understand why you’d punt on a season with those three guys healthy.
English
@JeremyBranham I think Peña bumps Cole - they’re facing a lot of LHP to start the season, and Cole probably needs a little more seasoning in AAA. They’ll give Matthews a shot in LF.

Pena bumps Matthews, if healthy.

Yesterday I learned that some high school offenses now have digital watches for all skill players instead of wristbands.
Coach in box is able to read a defense presnap (that rarely rotates), give a call to beat that coverage and tell the QB the best side to read. 🤯
English
@_bradforddavis @javalb_ @ESPNdirocco How realistic do you think that if they *did* trade him, that he would go for anything less than a 2nd?
English
@CG_In_Houston @javalb_ @ESPNdirocco how long do you, realistically, think your HC & GM are gonna keep telling everyone - stroud included - that he’s “doing a great job?”
English
Jaguars GM James Gladstone said any reports that WR Brian Thomas Jr. was being shopped were "fraudulent claims." Jags never got an offer from any team for Thomas and Thomas remains a big part of the offense going forward.
English
@AdamSchefter Next thing you know, the OKC Thunder are gonna start wearing green and gold
English
@AdamSchefter Have to tap into the nostalgia of another city’s colors to stay relevant
English
@javalb_ @ESPNdirocco Only one of those scenarios is remotely realistic…
English
@CG_In_Houston @ESPNdirocco “We had no intention of trading him, but felt it was too good of an offer to pass up, and allows us to better strengthen our draft position” - Caserio next week, after receiving a 7th rounder for Stroud

@OrtizKicks Judge K’ing in Daikin/Minute Maid Park - name a better combo
English
Greg Weissert struck out Aaron Judge to seal Italy’s 8-6 victory over Team USA at Daikin Park.
Italy improves to 3-0. USA falls to 3-1.
Mexico (2-1) will face Italy Wednesday in hopes to forcing a 3-way tie that would likely lead to Mexico winning Pool B.

@Chandler_Rome @Ken_Rosenthal Hmm, good thing they have a guy named Paredes, huh?

Jeremy Peña will miss the WBC and, perhaps, Opening Day with a fracture in the tip of his right ring finger - nytimes.com/athletic/70890…
