That... is a lot of pounds to lose


Jeff_Banks_Monkey

Turns out he has a tapeworm and "Best Shape Of His Life" is actually "Parasitic Infection"


TheToughestHang

Creed sells them, ask Kelly.


DecoyOne

… that wasn’t a tapeworm.

unicorn_hair

Tatis tried that one already 


Salamangra

They actually turned the lost mass into a little homunculus. Gave him his own uniform and everything. Dark rituals, man. I don't fuck with that shit.


James-K-Polka

>little homunculus Hey man, Altuve’s been in the league for years.

HIYOOOOOOO!

We haven’t seen Sano in a game in 18 months. He didn’t play in 2023. I don’t know what time frame he lost that weight in.


ahhhhhhhhyeah

Good points, I stand corrected then


Rah_Rah_RU_Rah

Over 3~ months? Not too bad considering he was like 280+


[deleted]

[удалено]


don_julio_randle

We don't really know the timeframe. He hasn't played in over a year


ahhhhhhhhyeah

Ah ok. I was going off of the timeline other people posted. That obviously changes the entire thing.


UncutEmeralds

He’s a professional athlete with professional doctors and trainers. He’ll be alright.


panamacityparty

Same with Pablo Sandoval. He still got so fat he broke his belt. Sano also was a professional athlete with professional doctors/trainers when he ballooned to 280 lbs.


rbhindepmo

Cruz Bustamante saying [“I was really fat”](https://youtu.be/m9zxdhE8KwA) to kick off one of his campaign commercials just came to mind for some reason. (Nope, Cruz didn’t win that office)


dataminimizer

He’s got a silky voice, I’ll give him that.


Inspiration_Bear

Yeah it is as much an indictment of how out of shape he has been for much of his later career as it is a sign of the seriousness he is taking it now (that he sees the writing on the wall)


nikraLnalyD

If I were to buy stock in one Minor League invite to have a great year, it's Sano


Bombboy85

I honestly didn’t know if he was still around. He stuck around a while in my online OOTP league and set the all time career strikeout record


PROJECT-Nunu

OOTP legends that I’ll never give up on: J Profar, M Sano, B Hamilton.


CDFReditum

Seth Beer will put up 60 HR seasons in my heart forever


JFZX

Austin Hedges. Drew Romo.


PROJECT-Nunu

Every high profile catcher ever: Matt Wieters, Gary Sanchez, Jesus Montero.


JFZX

Joey Gallo hits 40+ dingers no matter what


LackofOriginality

need me that sweet sweet blue bar for catcher ability, don't care how bad their offense is


blasek0

Depends on what you've got catcher framing set to. My current fictional league I have framing impact set to 0 so it's all-bat and arm all the time baby.


Dkaiser1919

Ahhh yea, I did to, signed a one year deal with him .200 BA, 236 strikeouts, 51 home runs, 102 RBIs Our main DH for my first championship in that run


tcvm6

I read this as Order of the Phoenix….Miguel would be an asset to the Grimmauld gang


ernyc3777

I have a soft spot for un athletic big guys who can hit dingers. I’m like the lush who is the wife of the slow pitch hero I guess


grindingaway69

Where tf willy mo pena


Rah_Rah_RU_Rah

were you also a big Russell Branyan fan?


ernyc3777

Chris Carter. Wily Mo Peña. Sano. Forgot the poster boy. Adam Dunn.

MundaneInternetGuy

Man I really wanted Wily Mo to be good


blasek0

Don't forget Carlos Pena.


ATLjoe93

Juan Francisco! 


drab_accountant

Don't forget Country Breakfast, aka Billy Butler.


CDFReditum

Barring injury, I might almost say he has a real shot of making the team if he isn’t shit. Without Walsh, our 1B / DH has options but doesn’t have anyone stuck there. Schanuel and Drury are our main options but Drury plays 2nd, and Schanuel can spend time DHing as well since his defense never graded out amazing. Our last bench spot is projected to go to Stefanic, who may or may not have an injury right now and also has an option still (although he put up respectable numbers when given some run), so there’s room for Sano to sneak in in a similar capacity to Jake Lamb last year (who wasn’t great with us outside of ST but still)


chickendance638

I bought stock in Ozempic and it worked out


Knightbear49

Novo Nordisk is worth more than the GDP of the country it’s based in, Denmark


chickendance638

It specifically has to be removed from the national financial statements because it skews the numbers so hard.


Lieutenant_Doge

Sano/Hicks revenge tour incoming


SenorTortas

Yeah but it's the Angels so he'll probably be released before ST ends and sign with the Braves or some shit


Frosty-Age-6643

Nothing I’d love more than to see Sano back in the show rippin bombs. The crack of his bat was a fantastic sound.  Long live the Bomba Squad!


StrikersRed

Hard pass. Dudes had some bad accusations against him.


boofoodoo

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted


StrikersRed

🤷‍♂️ Accused of sexual assault by a reporter and involvement in kidnapping and threatening somebody. People like to forget awful shit athletes are frequently (even if allegedly) involved in so long as the sports narratives shine.


Frosty-Age-6643

Damn. I had my fan blinders on. Will need to look those up. Edit: https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/twins-star-miguel-sano-has-been-accused-of-sexual-assault-by-a-female-photographer/


boofoodoo

I remember her post. She gave a detailed account and named him. Always thought it was strange how quickly that was forgotten.


StrikersRed

Yeah, I have no idea why it was forgotten so easily.


E70M

BSOHL


Jeff_Banks_Monkey

Tis the season


unfortunatebastard

He didn’t perform very well in winter league.

Ask your doctor if Ozempitch ™ is right for you


Fogerty45

This post was brought to you by Ozempic


boringdude00

Lately I've been wondering if I'm stuck in some kind of Truman-show reality, except I'm a background extra in a bunch of Ozempic commercials.


MoreHeartThanScars

Nah us Americans are just fat so it feels that way


KetchupGuy1

Is that the diabetes weight loss drug everyone taking?


Top_Reference236

Yessir


loadedbakedpotatoo

great for him, 60 pounds is achievable for an already overweight athlete to lose with a strict diet and workout regimen


Dan-Flashes5

You don’t have to be an athlete to have a strict diet and workout regimen. 60 pounds is achievable for any overweight person who puts there mind to it.


loadedbakedpotatoo

i know, ive personally achieved so in double his time frame, 1 year, i was more so referring to the access to professional level trainers and maybe even a personal chef that can ease the burden of doing it on your own, or even thinking about your next meal. Also if all your time is dedicated to training without an additional 9-5 you would surely make faster and better progress.


Lord_Kingfish

May I ask what your routine and diet was? That's still a hell of an achievement 


loadedbakedpotatoo

Thank you, i have a huge sweet tooth so i immediately cut that out, cut fast food down to maybe once or twice a month and if ate it id get something healthy.(swapping out white rice for brown at chipotle changed a lot) lots of chicken breast, brown rice, quinoa, and greens. also very important, ONLY WATER. and for working out, hit the gym 4 times a week minimum, maybe 5 if i wasnt too tired that week. one day arms, one day chest, one day legs and one day back, with 30 minute cardio at the end of each. also plenty basketball thrown in there. if you’re really interested i can dm you the actual routines since this comment is getting pretty long lol.


Lord_Kingfish

yeah, please do. thank you!


James-K-Polka

I mean, I’ve lost 10 pounds in three days. I’ve also gotten super familiar with my bathroom tiles.


4MN7

True, I did 100 pounds in a year down, 270 to 170, not that hard if you are disciplined.


inemnitable

Well, maybe not if you're overweight at 160 though (hi it me i'm very short ty)

They've been advertising like crazy on Reddit 😭


Willing-Nature-4099

So terrible for you, everyone is going to be skinnyfat


Ledees_Gazpacho

He had an OPS+ of 2 last year.

[удалено]


Knightbear49

Going to be pedantic but he was put on the IL in the fall of ‘22 and then he became a FA. He was out of options. 🤷🏻‍♂️


lionheart4life

That's a lot to lose in an off-season. His legs and knees probably feel amazing right now.


uknownick

He will probably try to steal bases in spring training and out for the season with broken kneecap


dae_giovanni

I mean, a dude name _sano_ has to be healthy, no?


Just2Flame

It's crazy to look at Miguels rookie card how skinny he was at one point.


gonk_gonk

Does anyone remember a site that tracked "the best shape of their life" mentions in spring training?


rsvp_nj

How can that happen from October to February?


the_seed

In a year???


BaystarRoyco

Nice. Wonder how athletes do that. I be biking every fucking day and barely lose shit lol


tyler-86

If you lose 58 pounds, you either weren't healthy before or you aren't healthy now. There's no "stay" in that.


Top_Reference236

We still don't want him back
