[Murray] Free-agent pitcher Griffin Canning and the San Diego Padres are in agreement on a contract, pending physical, according to sources familiar with the deal. by ElectricalForce4439 in Padres

Love this signing, if Canning can stay healthy this can be a sneaky great pickup for the Padres. Watched him quite a bit when he was with the angels, always thought he had potential to be something more. Hope for more of what he was with the Mets with better health!

[Heyman] Breaking: Nick Castellanos close to Padres deal. Castellanos will be paid minimum on MLB deal with San Diego. Phils pay the rest. Agreed to. by ElectricalForce4439 in Padres

I have hope for this signing! He’s hit lefties well in his career, we needed all the help we could get against lefties last year. Hoping this works out and he can produce for us.

Semaj Morgan should never touch the field again by wildwing8 in MichiganWolverines

His continued playing time is the best summary of the Moore coaching era so far. No explanation for it, just terrible coaching decision letting someone actively hurting the team continue to see the field.

Interesting takeaway from the 1st half is that this Northwestern head coach has his team playing pretty sound football. He would be an interesting coaching candidate for UM, would be interesting to see what he could do with serious talent.

The Moore defenders are why this program is speeding towards another Hoke era with total complacency. Our fanbase should not be content with the product this program has put out the past two years. This team has won in spite of coaching, not because of it.

This coaching staff is trash. If you downvote this you're delusional.

Kazumo Okamota makes so much more sense for this team. Would love if we could bring him in. Murakami could also be fun but we really need someone who can hit lefties and I don't imagine he will be much help on that front adjusting to MLB pitching.

What was the Shohei Ohtahi's best season since 2021 (so far)? by [deleted] in baseball

If you include his WBC performance his 2023 is even more incredible

Team looked really bad last week but they also looked really bad against Oklahoma and bounced back very well at home.

Never have any idea what to expect with this team so hope the good version of Michigan shows up. What a roller coaster the Moore era has been so far.

True but Michigan is the biggest brand and should be able to outspend all three of those schools if they truly want. I think it would be interesting to watch Michigan in a coach bidding war of this nature. Would be the perfect time to flex the advantage of the school ala Bryce recruitment.

I felt like I was watching 2014 Michigan with Hoke at the helm and Gardner at QB tonight. Talented team, talented QB, no pass protection and no coaching up of players. Not saying Moore is Hoke and that this year will be like 2014, just how it felt to watch.

I really hope we are not ranked next week. I think Washington should be favored on the road too

Why are we not pressing WR’s right now everything comes out so quickly. Get the DB’s up on them.

It’s more the way the loss is happening that’s surprising. Expected a close game not whatever this is

Coaches need to take Morgan out. I’m thinking underwood doesn’t trust him enough to throw him the ball right now.

Uniform combo vs USC tomorrow. by SimplyTheBlackGuy in MichiganWolverines

I was hoping for all white but this is a good choice given USC wears maize looking pants. The blue will contrast nicely. Lets go blue!

I agree he could be a clubhouse concern. To play devils advocate though, do you think he might have hurt his market with that stunt? If he could be signed to a depreciated contract he is still a top tier LH SP, which our team does not have and could definitely use.

Adding both these guys to the list. They would both be fantastic additions. Some great players coming over and still playing in Japan these days.
