What kind of deal would we have been talking about to beat what the Yankees offered up for Bednar? It looks like they gave up their #8 and #15 ranked prospects in their organization. Hao-Yu Lee and Jaden Hamm? Liranzo straight up? Seems like we could have topped the Yankees for sure. Oh well.

No two ways around it, I am bummed about not getting a top-tier reliever like Bednar. Along with many here and many fans, I thought a RP was our biggest need. Yes, we added some ok pieces, but no one that makes me feel comfortable with a game on the line in the playoffs the way Bednar would have. It's insult to injury seeing him go to the Yankees as well.

According to Trump windmills (as he called them) cause cancer and kill birds.

I wonder what Harris sees in Finnigan that he doesn't see in David Bednar. Bednar is clearly the better pitcher in my view. Is he just not willing to paid the Pied Pirate for Bednar?

So Wolff says that Epstein showed him photos of Trump, at Epstein's home, pictured with underage young girls. I am disgusted but I am not at all surprised. What a pig of a human being.

Aren't Ortiz and Clase about to get banned from baseball for betting? Not that Ortiz is some dynamite starter, but losing Clase will be a big loss. But given where Cleveland is at right now, given that the division is down as a whole, and given that they might lose two pitchers permanently, it seems like a rebuild could be in their future. Or maybe a retool if they lose Clase. But if they lose Clase, is Cleveland really going to go big on the open market to try and replace him?M aybe they don't want to do it though and they'll just keep plugging along.

You think Kwan nets a pair of Clark/McGonigle level prospects? I don't. Maybe he could net one, but what do I know in the end. I think he's a really nice player, but he's not an elite, top 50 player in the MLB this season. I don't see his production this year as a guy worth two of our top 5 guys that are currently in the MLB top 100. I think Liranzo is the highest I would go on the prospect pecking order to give up to Cleveland. I would package a deal that was something like Liranzo/Anderson/Rodriguez for Kwan or Kwan + a reliver.

I'm not sure Cleveland would trade him here, but I'd be in on getting Kwan. I don't know what the value would be to get him, but it feels like he could be traded for without a top 100 prospect being given up.

Kamala Harris announced today she is not running for Governor in California. I was surprised to see that she wasn't going to run because she would have been a shoe in to win. I hope this puts former Congresswoman Katie Porter in as the frontrunner now.

Do I think there is a definitive client list with names of every time someone visited Epstein Island? Maybe, but I don't feel 100% certain that there is. Did the Trump Administration's Attorney General Pam Bondi definitively state there was a client list that was sitting on her desk to be reviewed? Yes. If there is an Epstein client list, do I think the guy that is alleged to have walked in on underage, teenage girls getting changed at a Miss Teen USA beauty pageant is on that list? 100% I think he would be on the Epstein client list.

Trump and the sycophants around him have been gaslighting you for years Joe, on literally every issue and news topic under the sun. Only now, on the Epstein case, does Rogan realize he's being gaslit? He's either been in on the gaslighting the entire time himself and just can't stick around now that it involves a sexual predator or he's really just that dumb and never figured it out. For a guy that has to talk as much as he does as a podcast host, how can you possibly be this dumb?

Garland barely got started investigating Trump and all the alleged crimes and conspiracies he was involved in, let alone Epstein. The appointment of Merrick Garland was Biden's worst appointment IMO. He dropped the ball and was late to the game on so many things.

She didn't vote against it or in favor of giving aid, she voted present. So she didn't not vote to give any funding to Israel.

Who said we can end the war here? We are talking about US military aid and financial support of Israel. That can and should be stopped by Congress and the President. The war may continue on, but it doesn't mean we need to be funding it. I am sadden that people would rather continue funding a genocide against children in one country than utilize those funds to feed hungry children in our own country.

No President, from either party should be providing further military aid and funding to Israel while they are actively committing genocide and while they are now starving children as well. Joe Biden and Donald Trump have both been terrible in standing up to Netanyahu and have both continued providing financial and military support for Netanyahu's war.

This is ****ing rotten. Israel, and the US funding of this genocide, have crossed well beyond the line of self defense and anything that happened on October 7th. Anyone still defending Netanyahu and the Israeli government ought have a long conversation with their conscience. Blocking aid trucks, shooting at people attempting to get aid, bombing refuge camps, bombing hospitals, burning human beings alive is disgusting and repugnant behavior that equals or in some cases goes beyond what Hamas did on October 7th.

Injured players are Brad Holmes guys for sure because they come cheaper than the market rate. If the guy can still play football and the character lines up with us organizationally, I could see Brad picking up the phone on him. The Raiders as an organization under the Davis ownership haven't exactly been beacons of high moral character and a passion for winning football themselves. I'd bet we would at least look into Wilkins give our current situation at DT with no Levi and no Alim.

Was your mom flying on the plane and listed in flight logs of pedophiles and sexual predators? Was your mom known to be close friends with a pedophile and a sexual predator? I'm guessing not. Donald Trump was though.

I'm going to be that guy to ask the question. Does someone sign Carter Hart now and would you want him on the Red Wings?

I have been a pro wrestling fan for as far back as I can remember. WWF/WWE, WCW, ECW, TNA, ROH, AEW, New Japan. Watching pro wrestling has gotten me through a lot of my life and helped me traverse some of my toughest moments. I was a Hulkamaniac through and through as a kid. I was an nWo-ite after a period of time when Hulk Hogan turned bad and became Hollywood Hogan. I know that man isn't perfect. I know he was a piece of **** in a lot of ways. He was flawed, imperfect, and yes, a racist. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't devastated by this news. I'd be lying if I said Hulk Hogan wasn't a gigantic part of my childhood. I'd be lying if I said wrestling and everything didn't help me get through a lot of rough days as a kid. RIP Hulk Hogan.

When Trump wished Ghislaine Maxwell well years back many of us thought that was a very odd and uncomforting thing to wish for a person who helped to directly enable a predator and a child pedophile. It is all becoming more and more clear why he would wish a slimly, slippery, repugnant human being like her well.

Imagine having a conscience where you both weigh out being pro life and defending a perverted, pedophile enabler in the same brain. How does ones brain actually make that compute and work.

WSJ is owned by News Corp and Rupert Murdoch are they not? So the same company that owns Fox News is having this story broke under their own nose.

At least Trump wasn't a black women. That'd be bad.

When's the last time Suh took an actual snap in the NFL? I still want to bring back Za'Darius and I wouldn't be against giving Matthew Judon a look either.
