Depending on how He performs this season marwin could get big money.. Or at least more than you want to pay him... But don't underestimate how the relationships with Correa and altuve Will incline him to stay.

Is there beef between Marwin and Springer? Springer's WSMVP speech says yes, but he could have been joking just as easy.

I know Marwin wasn't a fan of George robbing him of that putout in the ALCS.

Well known they hate each other. Marwin tried to Poison George before game 7 so he could bat leadoff. Thankfully Pettis intercepted the poison.

More well known that Dauer intercepted the poison

It had a latent effect that finally set in during the celebration

Just so everyone knows, it’s Kershaw’s 30th birthday today, I celebrated it by watching Gurriels mammoth game tying HR in game 5.

Please join me in also celebrating this joyous occasion:

ETA: Still get goosebumps with the crack of the bat, and the crowd eruption

Pretty wild that Gurriel’s home run was like the 4th best moment of that game

Was a big one though, felt like we were dead in the water at the point with the way he was pitching

Gotta think tKing is the guy. One more shot at getting his arse in gear.

I think at this point the Brain Trust sees Davis as the guy most likely to be a longer term member of this franchise, so I agree that it’ll be him

I think we can all agree that Reed's next spot is sitting next to big baby Glenn Davis eating 50 pounds of Popeyes... briefcase will be empty though.
