I don't believe so - I think just on the radio, local WTAM 1100.

Only other way is if you have an MLB subscription. I know season ticket holders got this year for free. If you have ant friends that are STH, they may let you use their name

I think it's both. He was asking for $15 million at one point which is insane but from what I heard, Tito hated dealing with him, so. Pick your reason, there's plenty.

Getting Domingo essentially takes us 100% out of the Puig sweepstakes that no one else seems to want to enter anyways. Feels like teams called his agent, and his agent said something and they said thanks for the info and never called back or answered calls from his reps lol

Santana vs Puig was somewhat of a no-brainer. $1.5 million vs $15 million. Sure, Puig Is a little better in the field, but offensively? Not much. $$$ wins out. With the logjam in the outfield, the Indians have zero interest in Puig. However, I am intrigued where he might end up.

Someone of Puig's talent honestly not in a camp by now is on his agent I feel at the end of the day. They played their cards wrong and now he is paying for it in a sense.

I would be hesitant on putting it all on the agent. Yes it is possible the agent might have misjudged the market or even recommended against Puig taking a lesser deal early in the process (pure specualtion on that) but it is Puig that has been between the lines on the field and in the clubhouse over the past number of years. Puig's own actions could be impacting the situation.

Puig was the guy that got involved in a brawl (after being dealt last July) & did enough in the brawl to warrant a suspension being issued.
Puig was the guy that got suspended for flipping off fans after he hit a homerun on the road.
Puig was the guy seen as a handful in the clubhouse from marching to his own drum & the list goes on.

Even if the agent played everything right, there are things out there that could have scared teams away or shifted focus to another option.

What if the agent recommended a lesser deal being accepted in January & Puig said "No, I want X money at Y years at least". The agent cannot force a team to make an offer that Puig likes. Every offseason there seems to be a player (or 2) that sits out on the market much longer than everyone assumed. Puig just happens to be in that boat this year.

this winter has been pretty bad. We usually get monsoon season in the summer, but didn’t. And now we’re getting it.

To clarify, a desert is defined an area that gets 10 inches of rain or less, last year because of a slow monsoon we got only 6 inches of rain while we normally get 8 inches.

Apparently yesterday we got a full inch of rain, will be a top 3 rainy day this year for the valley.
