    Mentioned this is the Chris Sale thread, but by that time the healthy eaters had taken over, and this deserves its own thread, anyway:

    Phillies broadcaster Rickie Ricardo told Sports Radio 94 WIP in Philadelphia on Monday morning that he delivered 100 Cuban pastries (two boxes of 50) to Chapman this weekend and when he saw the reliever in the clubhouse Sunday morning, Chapman had eaten about 18 of them. “He couldn’t breathe!” Ricardo said. “I looked at my partner, I said, ‘He’s ripe for the ...

    I feel 'chaos' might be too strong of a word here. When I clicked on this article, I expected to read about shootings, stabbings, bloodbaths, and all-around pandemonium. Not poor communication and scheduling.

    Ben Badler at home:
    Badler: Where's that remote?... Oh god, I can't find the remote control! Jesus, god, where is it?! Oh Christ!...
    Badler's roommate: It's on top of the TV.
    Badler: I left it by the couch! Why didn't you tell me you'd moved it?!
    Badler's roommate: I didn't think it was a big deal.
    Badler: Didn't think it was a big deal!?! I expect the remote to be near the couch and you move it to god know's where! How am I supposed to deal with this chaos?!
    Badler's roommate: 'Chaos'? Dude, maybe it's time for your Wellbutrin.
    Badler: Yes, maybe you're right. Now, where is my Wellbutrin?... Holy mother of f***! I can't find my Wellbutrin! Entropy! Entropy!!!
    Badler's roommate (shaking fist): Damn you, 'Craigslist rooms & shares'!

    I was hoping for pro- and/or anti-Castro protestors showing up and disrupting the proceedings, with accusations that Puig is betraying the Revolution followed by counter-charges that so and so is a marxisant and maybe an Earth First!er appearing to rub pine tar on the face of the Tampa scout while yelling, "Revenge for the trees!"

    Ben Badler at home:
    Badler: I was on both Farscape and Stargate, so I can see why people get confused.
    Badler's roommate: That was Ben Browder.
    Badler: *disintegrates him with a ray gun*

    Puig appears to have been granted free agency by MLB. Anybody actually know anything about him? He has to sign by July 2 so teams won't have much time to scout him.

    Dodgers sign him for $40 million.

    Now he's as happy as a Puig in a shitload of money.

    Hardball Talk:
    It’s twice [the money that] most expected him to get and $6 million more than [Yoenis] Cespedes received from the A’s this spring.
    Who knows, of course.

    Amusingly, I looked at the picture and thought, "Jesus Christ, does anyone seriously believe that a Cuban claiming to be 21 years old looks like THAT??" before realizing who it was...

    His DT
    246/317/418 is pretty good for a 21-year-old.
