They also have Madden and Jobe who if all goes well could be ready by mid season to help out in the rotation if/when some of the starters get hurt or traded.

Rays and Dodgers have agreed on a trade for Tyler Glasnow contingent on Glasnow signing an extension with LA.

I'm fine with it, probably isn't going to blow us away but if we were looking for somebody to fill the Lorenzen role he could do just that, projections have him at 150IP of 4.3 ERA. While they probably are hoping he can rediscover what he had earlier in his career I think the Tigers would be fine with those numbers.

That and they have Wemby. Hard to think of a situation anywhere that is worse than ours. At one time I thought the one silver lining we potentially had was the young franchise player but now I'm not so sure about that, atleast him being a franchise player for the Pistons anyway. He may become one somewhere else though.

Legit question is it worse to be a "game manager" for say 10 yrs or somebody like Cam who may have that special season or two where he does carry the team but in the other 8 or 9 he ends up costing the team cause he can't "manage a game" or are forced to miss games cause you try to do too much? Btw not saying those guys are the cliched game manager just asking the question in the hypothetical sense.

True, could you imagine if Baez had a similar clause except it was a guarantee he'd opt out if the person left the organization? That person would be treated worse than Milton from Office Space.

Wow that's a new one, talk about having leverage, that person could ask for anything and he or she would probably get it.

Edman or Mark would probably know more about this but I have heard in the past one of the biggest advantages large market teams have particularly the Dodgers is not even so much the money to splurge on big name FAs but the extra resources they can put forth to scouting, development and analytics. I have read that its not an accident or particular methodology they have that the Dodgers always have a stacked system and churn out major league players its because the sheer amount of money and personnel they can allocate to it gives them such a leg up over the competition.

I don't know much about fantasy bball but I may have to do a daily league tonight and take Embiid along with a couple cheaper/sleeper Sixers.

I mean when you only play 17 games vs 162 you're naturally going to have more parity and teams in it. Just imagine what the MLB playoff race would look like if the season ended in Mid April instead of October.

I know many fear another Blake trade and in turn bring up guys like Lavine but I think Blake was a special case since he was a big star in LA where Gores spends all his time, I think somebody like Lavine or Poole don't have the cache in Gores eyes that Blake had so I'm skeptical he would force a move for one of them.

Btw the two Goff ints yesterday I really don't count as true turnovers since they were on 4th and longs. If it was any other down he very well may not even attempt either throw.

I feel like I'm in Bizarro World with Buddha being the most positive out of everybody and being the voice of reason.

lol Hutch was literally being hugged by the lineman RIGHT in front of the official and no flag was thrown. I mean the official was legit looking right at the play.

Jerry "flag" Jacobs with his weekly PI call.

Nice to allow Sweat to shove Goff to the ground clearly after he released, surely that wouldn't have been a penalty if that were us doing it.

I will say those are some sweet press box seats that Soldier Field has, looks much closer to the field than other stadiums.

Nice to see a dominate Hutch series.

Hard to believe that out of the 8 billion people on Earth there isn't atleast 1 available that can kick better than Patterson.

Lions caught a break by the Bears trying to be too cute on 4th and short. Hopefully that can help turn things around in this game!

Looks like the Lions actually caught a break by the ball being intercepted, of course with the crappy defense all it means is that the Bears are just going to have another 90+ yard scoring drive vs. a 65 yard one.

Glenn finally dials up a little wrinkle in the defense and look at that something positive actually happened.

Anzalone should've sat out another game, like the rest of the defense he's been a straight up disaster thus far.

Just too easy man, I tried to defend Glenn but seeing no improvement and the same stuff every week makes even me want to throw in the towel on him.

Don't like having the defense on the field first.
