This is starting to move into the- “making plans with” - category.
Toss five shutout innings ✅ Hit a home run ✅ Earn the win ✅ @CadenMcDonald4 had a night 🔥
The jokes write themselves….
Tommy Castellanos on his Bama comments: "We stand on what I said."
Wow, the Gators bullpen just took a big hit as Frank Menendez hit the portal. Gators now will be limited with experience from LHPs.
NEW: Florida LHP Frank Menendez has entered the NCAA transfer portal, @PeteNakos_ reports. on3.com/college/florid…
Very true. Could be why they picked up the LHP last week from the D2. Miami seems like an obvious spot here but Auburn might be in background.
Coming off of TJ, wouldn't have been able to pitch until, what, April? So he wouldn't have been able to help much out of the pen even if he stayed. Still a loss, but it's his draft year, and you don't know how guys will look or throw coming off TJ in the first year.
High Expectations for Liam.
New LP on the charts 📈 🔗 bit.ly/LP25MLB | #GoGators
Bobby Boser signs his deal with Oakland!!
11th-rder Bobby Boser signs w/@Athletics for $150k. @GatorsBB 3B/SS, batted .336/.437/.613 with 18 HR & 19 SB as senior, righty power is his most attractive tool, strong work ethic. @MLBDraft
Top Florida recruit is signed. As was always expected.
The #Reds signed two picks from the 2025 #MLBDraft: 🔴 RHP Aaron Watson (Rd. 2) 🔴 LHP Kyle McCoy (Rd. 8)
So @CNN cuts away from DNI Gabbard laying out all the evidence of Obama’s treason. Tonite they will tell their same audience there is no evidence. lol
Pierce Coppola signs for 278,500 (Full slot deal)
A few Cubs signings: 5th Kade Snell, $200,000 7th Pierce Coppola, $278,500 8th Jake Knapp, $175,000 9th Colton Book, $100,000 10th Justin Stransky, $140,000 11th Eli Jerzembeck, $150,000 15th Noah Edders, $100,000
Good example of believing in yourself. Kid thought he could hit. Florida thought differently. Kid cashed in on 1/2 a Million. Good for him!! Good kid, good teammate, from a great family!!
The Marlins signed 5th rounder Chris Arroyo to a $521,400 deal. Slot value for the 139th pick is $523,900. Essentially slot value with the signing contingency.
Jake signs a very nice over slot deal!! Lesson learned for pitchers out there that only wanna be in a weekend rotation. Sometimes that bullpen is a roadmap to get PAID!! 💰
7th-rder Jake Clemente signs w/@Marlins for $500k (slot 198 value = $309,400). @GatorsBB RHP, fastball to 99 mph, mid-80s slider, has shown changeup in past, could start in pro ball. @MLBDraft
Florida could go back-to-back and win another national title in 2026. But it would be a different type of back-to-back compared to what the Gators did in 2006 and 2007. 🎧 bit.ly/4lmjETP (Apple) 🎧 bit.ly/443aDt9 (Spotify)
The projected roster for next year includes 41 players, which will need to be reduced to 34 by the end of fall. Infielders - Cade Kurland – Second Base - Justin Nadeau – Utility - Ethan Surriowec – Third Base - Brendan Lawson – First Base - Kolt Myers – Shortstop - Sam Miller –…
Getting him to campus is a big win no doubt. Will get plenty of reps in the infield during Fall. Will compete. Probably end up as a utility middle infielder who can play himself into at bats. Following year will be eyeing the starting SS spot.
@GatorDiamondPod now that it appears Partridge is headed to Gainesville, what do you think his role will be next year. That’s a big talent
One more thing. There was one mild disappointment. The drafting of Corey Braun, the LHP who entered the Portal from USF, taken in the 8th round by Oakland. Had many connections to UF. One of which was playing for Johnny Wiggs at Santa Fe. Although he hadn’t committed yet, I think…
The 2025 MLB Draft is over! Florida had their two highest rated recruits drafted. Aaron Watson RHP (2nd round) Jordan Yost SS (1st round) Both should have their signings announced soon. Florida did not have any Portal players drafted. Karson Bowen C was the main worry and he…
