The Ghost of Freddie Freeman

"According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, the Cubs are finalizing a contract agreement with free agent shortstop Dansby Swanson.
Swanson will receive a seven-year, $177 million deal, which also includes a full no-trade clause, per Russell Dorsey of Bally Sports. The 28-year-old shortstop, who posted a .776 OPS with 25 home runs and 18 stolen bases last year with the Braves, was the last superstar-caliber position player remaining in the free agent pool. He'll pair with second baseman Nico Hoerner in Chicago to form the best middle infield defensive tandem in baseball."

Me on being told the Cubbies had snagged Dansby...

Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.
