Doesn't look like he'll get one, either.

Nats are winning it all this season now. Caps lifted the curse.

Zlatan is being even more Zlatan than usual.

He just said Sweden didn't put him on the World Cup team because he doesn't have a Swedish name.

I would think it's clearly Trout. The best player in every other major sport has a ring. Trout is not only the current best baseball player, he's the best we've seen since peak Bonds over 15 years ago.



I feel like you have to take baseball out of the equation in player championship discussions. Not winning a championship in baseball has zero bearing on a player's legacy. Barry Bonds, Ty Cobb, and Ted Williams never won a World Series but nobody cares. It's impossible for a baseball player to have an impact on a game like a QB or basketball player can.

Tarasenko and Kuznetsov were the biggest Russian prospects since Malkin.

Amazing how much better Kuz is than Volodya considering the had the same career arch until this year.

Melo...LOL...dude is a lazy bitch who plays no defense.

Harden almost as bad.


Trout is a good answer.


I would also throw in Phillip Rivers. Will be in the HOF. Hasn't won shite.

While I agree with what you’re saying, legacy and impact weren’t part of the question. It’s who’s the best player without a ring. That’s Trout IMO.
