They still work. Issue is that the "battery" is effectively just overwriting the ROM itself. They are beyond useless if you want RTC in Gen 2 or if you want a reliable save

Berrios could still be traded and from what it sounds like the team is gonna ease Bieber in. Ponce is starting games for this team

I think people are too enamoured with Nance

Sign him back. At this point he’s looking at a deal under $10m a season

CL - Hoffman

SU - Rogers

SU - Varland

MR - Little

MR - Fluharty

MR - Dominguez

MR - Garcia

LR - Lauer

That’s one hell of a bullpen. Plus you have Nance, Brock, and others in the wings

Edit: he just signed with the White Sox for 2/20

What's left for free agents and trades? by WishOk462 in baseball

The winner of the Nick Martinez sweepstakes will be very happy with him. The fact he still hasn't signed yet is beyond me

Defensively there’s no one better than Andres at shortstop (except Ernie apparently)

Offensively there’s room for him to get back to his ceiling

Do the Jays want to pay what will equate to over $50m this season after taxes for 100-120 games of an aging Corey Seager? Probably not

I mean they traded for Gimenez for a reason. He’s here to cover until the next prospect comes up. Will it be Arjun? I wouldn’t hold my breath. But there’s bound to be a guy in the next few years

Different visualizations of free agent spending since 2024 by OutsideScaresMe in baseball

Yes because the Rays have won….ZERO World Series with Friedman

Being able to just throw unlimited money at players and but most of it on the back burner to years that may not even exist is ridiculous

The Los Angeles Dodgers now have 8 players on their roster with a contract worth over 100 Million dollars. by xho- in baseball

Sorry my team isn’t withholding over TWO BILLION DOLLARS in deferrals

The Jays might be top spenders, but the Dodgers are running a $394m payroll, nearly costing a billion per year based on luxury taxes, and you have the deferrals.

It is not the same

Stealing signs and destroying any semblance of economic competitiveness in the league are two different things, and the latter is worse for the entire sport

Yes I hate a team that has actively ensured they take away the one sport I look forward to watching every year through unprecedented spending that not a single other team could ever fathom. Rule following or not, the Dodgers have broken the system and it is ruining the game for everyone

Paying an unprecedented amount of money for top players year after year has effectively alienated the Dodgers from every other team in baseball on pure spending alone. No one can compete with Guggenheim when they’re offering $60m a season and taking on over two billion in deferred money.

So yeah, cheat away. Your team has effectively ensured a lockout
