Hopefully Buehler Although I'd love to see Trout have a healthy, MVP level season too.

(Not forgetting my outside chance pick of Liam Hendriks... )

Could be Giolito or Hendricks as well. The Sox have 3 candidates. Although Buehler technically came back last year, so I don't think he's even in the running this year.

I was using my Texas Instruments solar calculator and adding the cost of these Dodger tickets are it was a whopping $843.80 for 12 games. The Angels tickets on the other hand totaled $189.00 for 19 games not including a possible Skenes Pittsburgh Pirates start at Angels. The Padres for that one game is like $67.00. That's over a thousand dollars for tickets in one season.

 

[SoxFanOC]

Dave Roberts got a 4-year contract extension at $8m+ per year. Well deserved.

 

[fromcal]

My car insurance would cost me the equivalent of the 2025 Dodger tickets.
And that's 1/2 a year.

Hanshin Tigers shut out Cubs, Dodgers for back-to-back wins​

 

[HarpoSF]

This is an interesting question. On today's MLB.com home page they are asking "Who is the Best Player in the Game?"

The choices that they list are:
1) the big Irish kid that plays for that other LA team (and his placing as the first choice should be significant);
2) Bobby Witt Jr.;
3) Lurch;
4) Mookie Betts;
5) Corey Seager.

Of course, I would have to go with the big Irish kid (especially 'cause tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day ).

Until the move to Vegas in 2028, the As will be called the "Athletics"? I noticed that name or the abbreviated one as ATH (for a second, I thought ATL in Atlanta was misspelled) showing up on Sports Scoreboards.

Yup. I am sure it will be p*ssing-off many long-time Sacramento fans of "the Athletics", too.

I wonder just how long they will be in Las Vegas before the ownership decides to change the teams colours from the long-used Green & Gold.

 

[HarpoSF]

Of course, now that I think of it, a team based in Las Vegas with the colours Green ($) & Gold () makes perfect sense...

@fromcal are you going to watch the Tokyo Series games live at 3:10AM?

Maybe if Harposf gets up in the early morning.

 

[SoxFanOC]

I am taping both games to watch in the afternoon. Mookie is out sick and will not play.

 

[HarpoSF]

Maybe if Harposf gets up in the early morning.

I usually wake up at 4:00am, though.

It's also unfortunate that the team nickname Aces is already taken by the Las Vegas WNBA team. That would be a perfect new name for the A's after they move there, with a logo of an ace of diamonds with the diamond being a baseball diamond.

I thought the team would be called the Sacramento As until Vegas move. Never know, the team could go to the colours like hockey's Vegas Golden Knights.
