Why Paul Skenes is Problematic
Paul Skenes is extremely talented. He is known to some to be the next Rodger Clemens based off polarity. What is defining or characterizing is his team background.
He does not like ownership and makes that evidently clear. And, also, what is the deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates teammates?
They are not rallying behind Skenes sometimes and that is a problem despite the fact. He is an adept fastball pitcher.
It is interesting to note that Skenes is talented and social media sometimes affect the outcome of baseball games. Well, Skenes was present to an extent this off-season with his girlfriend Olivia Dunne and I think it has a tendency to do with the Pirates 15-29 start.
Something has to be said for this uncalled milieu. Skenes is better than and he knows it. I think the Pirates will trade him because of the depth he brings and riddance of a tremendous woman’s gymnastics athlete who has crossed sports to baseball social media and the cleated shoes of former top prospect, Skenes.

Baseball Got it Right with Pete Rose
It took a while but MLB has now officially lifted the ban of Pete Rose and we can all rejoice. Rose was an integral part of the Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Phillies and throughout that time, he served the bravery of three World championships, 17-time all-star selections, and 1973 NL MVP.
He was a classic to watch as the committee also reinstated shoeless Joe Jackson from further ago and leaves question to the Hall of Fame eligibility of Rose. Just how many roses will the termed ‘hit king’ receive now, deceased?
It is unfortunate that is the case but it will first take five to prove all the naysayers including ESPN’s lead contributor Tim Kurkjian who came out ruthlessly about the United States president intervention with Rose’s reinstatement.
There are people within the game simply upset about Article 21 but at the end of the day. It is about accolades in any sport and even though gambling should not be permitted at all. There should not be disrespect at all for a former player/manager such as Rose who was a joy to spectate.

Greatness has Gotten in the Way of Ohtani
As we enter a new dawn of an era with the likes of Juan Soto, Aaron Judge, and others aligning the stars in MLB. One, favorably has always attributed to mind and that is Shohei Ohtani. A 50/50 champ himself is reigning in is in one what is his second season with Los Angeles Dodgers after firstly safely winning the 2024 World Series.
The scope of it is Ohtani is not stopping and does not intend on stopping but if it were to be said that like many players in most recent past, selfishly cheated? ESPN Sports Reporters were talking highly in-depth on New Year’s Day about the jeopardy that Ohtani might have sustained after the interpreter incident.
And after turning the page to 2025. There is something to be said to MLB fans globally and commissioner Rob Manfred.
Ohtani deserves further investigation and possible punishment for how sloppy of a con act this truly is. Why would a cheap interpreter or store clerk for example even want to mess around with Ohtani’s legal team and expose such stupidity.
Ohtani and his wife announced their first child. Yay! How about announcing to the world anything else such as your pets, uncles, aunts, etc. Ohtani could be a theft but nonetheless is a tremendous baseball player.

Breaking: New York Mets Sign Juan Soto
Soto is a Met. It is official. According to Jon Heyman, the deal is 15 years, $765 million. After an action packed day of NFL football and forgoing the wait of the MLB Winter Meetings down in Dallas, TX, Soto decided to jump the move and sign with the New York Mets.
It is historic as it marks a record high compared to the likes of Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout, Mookie Betts, and others.
The Mets made a quick turnaround last midway through and who knows what they will be able to accomplish next year in the NL East division but they won and captured the most prized free agent and that was Soto.

Sho Me Weigh Out
Silence. Silence erupts in Seattle’s ballpark for merely decades as Julio Rodriguez stands and lulls. Ball four. The umpire says. Multi-time all-star Craig Kimbrel stacked the veteran advantage and dealt another unforeseen walk. Until drawing the first National League victory since 2012 last night.
The umpire calls time. That is the Seattle series and the whole Sho-hang. Look at me handsomely Seattle, because Ohtani’s value accentuates patented figures. He is intellectual in the extensive branch of marketing and competing for years in Japan and Anaheim. He understands the game and how to draw a hungered, yet real loud reaction by Seattle.
So loud, they chanted joined Seattle and spread chatter amongst the oft-restrictive, dugout players on imaginatively private social media touting the surmountable success of an Angels outfield disposition crop and fandom for Ohtani.
If Shohei receives all-time praise with Babe Ruth from former CY Young and long-time New York Yankee C.C. Sabathia along with a FOX Sports tap of worthy hypnotization from the best Black successor to “Mr. October,” Reggie Jackson, and righteous captain Derek Jeter. How come Roger Clemens gained traction? Yanked suspicions are telling that New York will embrace the first Japanese leading born player and graciously should from a New Jersian with their current assets of Anthony Volpe, George Lombard Jr, Luis Severino, Domingo German.
One of those two primed shortstops for example and selectively international propped signings. This is a really positive, synergetic scenario and if the Yankees can acquire a one-two punch since Rodger Clemens and Andy Pettitte. Hallujuah!
Gerrit Cole graciously starred alongside former CY Young and greatly emotion invested winner Justin Verlander with the financial Steve Cohen shenanigans ensuing currently.
The New York Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers and other AL teams have been rumored to Sho-hei the money but what is stirringly fascinating is that Mike Trout misguides back to Millstone here. Is he on Pluto? The platonic size of the Athletic’s rocket ship?
Not the Astrodome. Talking beloved Mike Trout who is hitting a career low line but All-Star ballot .263/.369/.493 at the break. Honestly, Trout, should have reclined in a fancy designed chair and relax during Seattle and the MLB Draft which was not as buzz worthy to believe with a first round infield corner selection.
In a foreign country such as the London Series or Japan, fans look left or right in an encompassed angle and until north or south directs. All Shohei can say is Sho me weigh out.
