I'm assuming that no less than 15-20 teams (including the Cubs) have put together an offer for Yelich. Now the Marlins just have to decide which deal(s) they want to pursue further.

Mish's sources seem to come more from the Marlins side of things though.

HOF is a joke I say put Bonds Clemens Sosa Palmeiro McGwire and all the other steroid guys in.  Jesus Sosa and McGwire saved baseball in 98.  They were great players.  There are dozens of HOF players already in that were pill poppers among other things.  Mike Mussina and Scott Rolen should also get in they were great.

They can all get in.  They just have to buy a ticket like us regular Joe's.

Welcome to Cooperstown Chipper Jones, Vladimir Guerrero, Jim Thome, and Trevor Hoffman. 

Edgar Martinez finished 20 votes short.

Kerry Wood got two votes by the way.  Sammy stays on the ballot with 7.8% of the vote.  Carlos Zambrano for some reason didn't get a single vote.

Johan Santana dropping off with 2.4% is inexcusable.

Only somewhere between 7 and 15 worthy candidates missed out this year.

Yeah no kidding.  His career WAR is actually higher than Jack Morris's.

It's nothing new, though. Kevin Brown, Kenny Lofton, and Jim Edmonds (among others) were even more deserving to stay on the ballot, and they were 5 percented in their first year. Even guys like John Olerud and Robin Ventura deserved 10 years on the ballot...even though they're ultimately not Hall of Famers, they're close enough that their case could've changed as defensive metrics improve.

Hall of Fame voting (and really, the Hall of Fame itself) is kind of a joke at this point. It's not an especially meaningful honor anymore. It's mostly about what great players were most liked by reporters at this point.

The Padres had posts about Eric Hosmer on both Twitter and Instagram this morning, but then deleted the posts. Could be close to a deal.
