Rember this guy who has become a somewhat reliable piece in the surging Brewers' bullpen?

No, not saying the Phillies should have kept him--he's bounced around from the Phillies to Tampa Bay to Anaheim to Milwaukee and been really bad until this season--but it goes to show how you never know when a reliever may suddenly put it together and why sometimes you just have to take a chance on a journeyman.

Joey is reaching folk hero status here in DC. Though after watching a bunch of JJ Bleday lately, he is really not that good of a CF.

Sixto Sanchez to undergo (somewhat minor) shoulder surgery. Throwing triple digits is just an unnatural act for anyone over a long period of time.

Not sure what the exit velocity was, but JP Crawford had a huge 3-run double in the Mariners' comeback.

The Reds signed right-hander Ben Lively to a minor league deal, with an invite to their Major League spring camp. Lively posted a 4.80 ERA over 120 innings with the Phillies and Royals from 2017-19, pitched with the KBO League’s Samsung Lions in 2020-21, and then returned to North American baseball on another minors deal with the Reds last winter. Though he missed over two months due to a flexor strain, Lively posted a 4.09 ERA over 77 innings with Triple-A Louisville in 2022. He’ll return to the organization in at least a depth role, and might have a shot at winning a spot in Cincinnati’s rotation in Spring Training.

Rose is so clueless that he doesn't realize that this "privilege" or "perk" or whatever it is (are they paying him to do it?), just reinforces his reputation as a gambler - which is what got him banned from baseball?

zambonir 2022-12-21 21:45:12 UTC #200

I think it's moot at this point. Gambling is MLB-approved (you can even do it at the ballpark, both on your phone or in some places at an actual sports book). But that does not erase Pete's sins (nor is what he actually did back then within MLB's rules now).

Honestly, this is Pete's brand now. To complain that he can't get reinstated on the one hand while doing stuff like this on the other. For most of his "clients" (gambling entities, autograph shows, memorabilia dealers in Vegas and Cooperstown) it's good for business. It's just not going to get him what he really wants (which he knows) and it's a bad look when an MLB team (ahem, the Phillies) lets him do stuff.

Rose really doesn't get it. IDK if it's arrogance or stupidity but for a guy who wants to get into the HOF his behavior goes in the opposite direction.

If this letter really is meaningful, Rose needs to come clean with what he did, which includes misleading past commissioners as well as owning up to the extent of his gambling. He refuses to do either of these things.
Ohio is legalizing sports betting on January 1, 2023. The push by the gambling entities is overwhelming. It's over the media all of the time. Presently Rose is one of the poster people for the business. By hanging with these gambling entities Rose voids his own requests with MLB. There's no remorse in him.
