If it meets the criteria, then I'd throw a 1 their way. If not, then it's 0, of course.

I had hopes for Tarpley when he was in the Orioles' low minors. When the Pirates acquired him and Brault for Travis Snider, I thought Tarpley was the better of the 2 pitchers. But that was 5 years ago and he still hasn't established himself in MLB while dealing with a lot of injuries.

I have researched the matter, and I am unable to find anywhere that says this is a major league contract, thus no score at this point. However, if he makes the team out of spring training, he will be scored at that point.

Tarpley spent the entire season on the Marlins roster (including injured list) with a major league contract. At no time was he in the minors in 2020. His salary for the reduced season was $208,704. Marlins recently DFA'd him. Had he cleared waivers he could have been outrighted to AAA on a minor league contract. But that didn't happen. He was waived and selected off waivers by the Mets. So the Mets must pay him at least the MLB minimum or try to get him through waivers to outright him to AAA and put him on a minor league contract. The Mets didn't have the option of selecting a major league player from waivers on a minor league contract.

The Nationals sign Kyle Schwarber for a 3. What say you WWD and GW?

Cheringtom is not failing, he is succeeding in finding what doesn't work.

Nats get 3 from me for Schwarber, too.

The Phillies get Sam Coonrod for a 0.5 from the Giants for a suspect.

Look like nothin's gonna change

Everything, still remains the same

I won't do what ten people tell me to do

So I guess I'll remain the same, yes

Sittin' here restin' my bones

And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen

600 milesmiles, I roam

Just to make this desk my home

Now I'm just sit, at the desk all day

Watchin' the players roll away, ooh yeah

Sittin' at my desk all day

Wastin' time

Instead of sitting there singing, badly I might add, why aren't you praising Cherington for not trading for Coonrod and thereby making the team worse? I thought you were a Pirates fan.

0.

0.5 to the NY Yankees for getting Greg Allen from the SD Padres (0) for some Suspect named James Reeves.
