Well, my thought was this. Mets, you better act fast if you want him because Philly will fire their guy and take him. I would take that rumor very seriously. I don't know if Thomson gets fired at this moment if Cora hadn't become available. I think the Phillies may have already hired Cora before they fired him.

He does have the money.... I bet if he offered $500 million, the Tigers would trade McGonigle for "Cash Considerations" lol.

So this should be singular, not plural.

Now that would be interesting. Neat idea.

Probably went right over the heads of MAGA Congress Critters

I wonder if they would trade Jake to save money?

But I would bet that they will stay under. Losing those draft picks would be too painful. I'm guessing they bank on return from injury (Melton & Verlander & Jobe + others?) as well as a little bit of internal development from the minors (Clark?). No big trade deadline moves. If that is enough to get them into the playoffs, they can bank on Skubal + Valdez to win them series in the playoffs.

Remember this when the MAGA bots spout off about how we haven’t had a king since 1776.

Two predictions: All current passports will be invalidated by a certain date—let's say Dec 31, 2026—and holders will be required by executive order to replace them with new Trump-face passports at a cost upwards of $200 per passport, or else face fines upwards of $10,000 and imprisonment in a converted warehouse of up to two years for failure to do so by March 31, 2027. By another certain date—let's say June 30, 2027—all U.S. residents will be required to carry passports on their persons at all times to facilitate identification on demand by police military authorities posted around the country. There will be two passports types: standard blue for citizens, green for non-citizens. Cost of passports will also be $200 per person and all proceeds to go to the Board of Peace. Wages will be garnished for failure to pay. Damn, I should write a hard political fiction novel.

How about something crazier… Why not fire Todd and bring in Sergei to be the coach. Use his pull to become a potential landing spot for Russian players. Michkov would probably thrive under him. Also use Sergei’s contacts to bring a few players straight from the KHL and use in a similar roster building fashion as a higher tier college free agent. Fans would be on board. It would be a big shakeup that Stevie needs without having to carve up the entire roster.

They can probably patch things up in the offseason.

"I thought he was the lesser of two evils" comes up a lot. How you like him now.

I was talking about the EV piece. The rest of the world has stayed on that path as a future technology. We have moved almost completely off it for 100% political reasons.

I’m thinking they are going to have a hard time staying under. Thank you for these numbers.

If i had on nitpick with this draft it would have been trading up for Moore when there were a few edges still on the board if he was hellbent on drafting an edge there. There was still quite a bit of talent left in the fourth. Other than that it will be interesting to see how Rolder and Moore fit in the defense since they are a bit different Anzelone and Davenport. Also hoping that they have some cap space left for DJ Reader, I hate having to rely on Levi.

It could also be a way to try to convince 'Libruls' to not get one. I wonder if defacing the picture would be a crime?

Speaking of unknown numbers/scans.... there has been an increasing number of spam texts telling me that I have to follow a link to verify that I made a charge, or a picture of a document telling me I'd better pay my parking ticket or I may face jail time. UGH.

The Lions do have a fascination with small receivers.

i agree with all of this. no more duncan. play ron. lean into the chaos that is ron holland!

Here's the "smoking gun" so to speak. Can we start a list of people Trump and Co wanted Shot, Hung, Killed, etc...
