When I worked at a law firm, I used to joke that some cases were so large that, unbeknownst to us a subdivision of our client was suing itself in some obscure jurisdiction

Can’t be good for Berrios, who lost over 1 mph velo last season, ended on IL with an elbow, and has a sub-20% K% and 4.78 xERA / 4.68 FIP across 2024-25

Right-hander Cody Ponce and the Toronto Blue Jays are finalizing a three-year, $30 million contract, pending physical, sources tell ESPN. The AL champs get the KBO MVP, who went 17-1 with a 1.89 ERA and struck out 252 in 180.2 innings. First on the agreement was @Ken_Rosenthal .
