I imagine Denzel Wards paycheck numbers could become quite the recruiting tool. Added to the other "highest paid" NFL contracts for Buckeyes we're in pretty good shape.

Glad he was paid. Wish he was somewhere he could compete for a ring.

Bad mutha

Most people know this, but with new “challenge” rules, catchers who can “frame” will be less important.

Hedges is nasty as a pitch caller and defensively, but even $4M on a tight budget seems excessive to me……but I trust Vogt signed off on it, so I’m good.

…..I don’t think I’ll ever get over the awful trade of Josh Naylor that cost us more $$$ to bring Carlos Santana in….Still at a loss.

He's a below replacement level player on a 92 million dollar deal?

I'll quote Tom Hamilton discussing a different bad contract involving a much more talented hitter, "Let's be honest, the reason Miguel Cabrera isn't playing for the tigers is that he's too fat."

He has narrowed his recruitment to a select number of finalists, but that will be revealed right before he makes his commitment Friday at 5 p.m. ET on the CBS Sports College Football YouTube channel.

His most recent trimmed list included Auburn, Florida, LSU, Miami, Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon, Syracuse and Texas A&M.

Just sayin': There are 2 Crystal balls for Miami.

Writers can’t even get headlines correct without editing? I can look past a couple typos but come on.

Man. I'd rather we just killed both but my therapist tells me I'm not supposed to say those things out loud.

Shit. Was that out loud just now?

Nah, you only typed it. Avoid the voice recognition software and you’re fine.

Awful offensive team…..multiple chances to win in extra innings and just couldn’t play small-ball to get win. Terrible at bats, including awful job of getting bunt down. It’s rough when you have very limited power, and on top of that you don’t have guys who can make contact.

I rarely question Vogt but felt like Gavin easily could’ve pitched the 8th. Could just sense Gaddis was going to give the game up….and he did.

NOBODY on this team can consistently execute a bunt properly. For a fucking MLB roster that seems insane.

Guardians are somehow only 1.5 games back in the Central with their recent abysmal performance. I can’t see them doing more than minor tweaks at the trade deadline. I wouldn’t be surprised if they plan to mostly stay put through this season and until the labor issues are figured out.

I don't think the market this deadline is going to be that great. I'd rather not give up higher end prospects for what will likely amount to a rather meh return for them. There's not much they can realistically do anyways to take themselves from being early round fodder to actual contenders when it comes to the playoffs if they can make it there.

Gavin Williams last 2 starts. 14 IP 5 H 2 ER 23K/1BB

He only got 1 run in support though and took a no decision and a loss

I'd be screaming for a trade if I were him.

also his head fake game is seriously lacking.

Not even one beanie flying off his head while juking a cone.

I feel I need to see the clip from the TCUN QB recruit years ago who was leveled at the high school all star game.

These are complaints Ohio State fans can make while watching basically a pro team. These suggestions don't have the rest of CFB in mind.

Footwork trying to pass in the pocket is a complete disaster......practice that? NAH HEAD FAKES AGAINST AIR!
