I had never thought on it, but man does Pete Rose seem to have ulterior motives.

Baseball is recommending putting more nets for fan safety at ball parks.
That seems like a no brainer, doesn’t it?

A new Star Wars movie is coming out. Not sure if you heard about it.
The last time we had a decent Star Wars movie was 1983. A lot has changed since then, especially in baseball.
The Force is with this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

What are the Dodgers up to?
Is the team falling apart and letting the other NL West clubs, like San Francisco and Arizona, take over? Or are they building something that we can’t quite see right now but will be dominating.
It reminds me of Tony Stark in the cave during the first Iron Man movie. He built something powerful right under everyone’s noses and turned failure into victory.
Maybe that’s what the Dodgers are doing.

I thought the Dodgers interest in Johnny Cueto was risky.
Now he signed with the Giants. I get the deal. Huge potential reward. Gigantic risk.
It also means the end of the Tim Linceum era.
Meanwhile Pete Rose is back in the news again and Serena Williams needs to compete with a horse.
Go ahead an bet on today’s episode of Sully Baseball Daily Podcast

Can you imagine Dallas being Red Sox country?
Or New Englanders being apathetic fans of an expansion baseball team?
Perhaps that reality could have happened.

Events at the winter meetings are going so quickly that they render doing a daily podcast almost an exercise in being incorrect.
Trying to make predictions during this winter meeting… an impossibility

The Dodgers had a devastating blow handed to them when Greinke left.
They need to make some moves and for some of them, quantity will matter as much as quality.
And by the way, BACK UP YOUR FILES!

@sullybaseball Im curious to see players stop the no trade and opt out bullcrap ie David Price. Would make fans happy, Players Union nervous

Did you predict Zack Greinke leaving LA for the Diamondbacks? If you answered yes, you are a liar!
The NL West is upside down and Johnny Cueto’s agent is loving it.

David Price signed a contract to be the new ace for the Boston Red Sox. It cost my beloved team no players and no draft picks.
I decided to talk about this with (and rub it in the nose of) Yankee super fan Lisa Swan, co creator of the blog Subway Squawkers.

It is November. Thanksgiving is over. Can you believe baseball was played this month?
Plus the signing of Jordan Zimmermann by the Tigers will be felt by other teams throughout the winter.

@sullybaseball If you were a player with a no-trade clause to 6 teams, which teams would you choose to nix and why? #SundayRequest

I had to break down the likely and unlikely teams a hypothetical Major League Sully would play for.
Some I would play for and NOT play for surprised me.

Perceptions are sometimes hard to break, even if all the facts in the world can be presented against them.
Many people are still making the argument that the same big budgeted teams win every year, even though the parity in baseball has never been better.
This leads me to talking about my high school reunion.
Trust me, it makes sense.

We came so very close to having a major league team whose stadium was in South Carolina.
Their ballpark was built in 1990. By 1992, it was totally obsolete.

Robinson Cano will eventually return to the Yankees. Write it in ink. The Yankees always bring their stars back.
It is what they do. The Yankees are sentimental and bringing former stars back to the Bronx is par for the course.

The Red Sox fan in me is thrilled to see Dave Roberts take over the role as Dodger manager.
It means they are going to play his stolen base in the 2004 ALCS on a loop.ring to his collection.
He has his work cut out for him in LA, but if he does his job, he could add another

@sullybaseball Whenever I think of why I disliked Bud Selig’s reign as Commish, Jeffrey Loria’s “ownership” of the Expos & Marlins is it.

The chain reaction of Bud Selig playing favorites with the fraternity of owners can still be felt. The new commissioner needs to step in and save the Miami Market.
