[Baseball] Ponson gets three-year, 22.5M deal


Recommended Posts

Sidney Ponson is returning to the Baltimore Orioles, who traded the right-hander last July in the midst of his finest major league season.

Ponson and the Orioles agreed on a $22.5 million, three-year contract Wednesday. It's $1.5 million more than the offer from Baltimore that he rejected shortly before the team dealt Ponson to the San Francisco Giants.

one met the dude when he was not in de MLB.. i'm glad for him.

guy grew up on aruba. parents were not that rich.. my mom used to know or knows his parents. hell this guys father used to be a referee for volleyball (if im not mistaken).. always nice to see ppl make it :yes:

i think i should go play baseball now :ninja: :shifty: :rofl:

Yeah, that really sucks for the Giants. The Orioles made out pretty well player wise since they got Ponson back and got Ainsworth (I think) who was a highly touted Giants pitching prospect. I guess that's the risk the Giants were willing to take.

Kinda makes you wonder if they had a *wink* *wink* thing going on where the Orioles management said "Hey we'll give you this money, but since our season's a wash anyway we'll ship you to San Fran and just re-sign you in the offseason. That way we can get players back and the team will be that much better when we go into next season."

I always wondered why some teams didn't try to do that more often (though I'm sure if it happened alot it would be investigated like it was nobody's business)

    • Crucial T500 2TB Gen4 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD is selling at its lowest price in over a year by Sayan Sen If you are in the market, either online or offline, shopping for NVMe SSDs, then there are several good options to choose from. Western Digital, for example, is offering its 4TB SN8100 (PCIe 5.0) and SN7100 (PCIe 4.0) drives for the lowest prices. Team Group also has its 4TB G50 for just $200 but only for a few more hours. If you need a 2TB Gen4 option then check out Crucial's T500 that is available for just $125, the lowest it has been in over a year (purchase links down below). Both the heatsink and non-heatsink variants are discounted so you can pick and choose. The T500 promises speeds of 7400 MB/s and 7000 MB/s in terms of sequential reads and sequential writes. In terms of random throughputs, the T500 claims reads of 1180K IOPS (input output operations per second) and writes of 1440K IOPS. These high random speeds are thanks to the Phison PS5025-E25 controller that packs 2GB LPDDR4-4266 DRAM cache. Thus the drive will not need to access system memory for caching and other purposes. The Crucial B500 features Micron B58R FortisFlash 232-layer TLC (triple level cell) NAND flash memory with an endurance rating of 1200 TBW (terabytes written).

    • I'm waiting for windows 12. They will probably release it next year. By that point they might have moved all of control panel over to the settings app which would be nice.
