cannot package Huerter's contract with others wish they had found a way to dump LeVert's contract Donsunmu would have been better add I think Minny got huge $ benefit from dumping Conley, and it should have cost them more

they move up 6-8 spots in the 1st round and get a guy who JB probably won't play any meaningful minutes Ivey had little value indeed

We do not know this to be true. I have no problem believing the A's were not making as much money as they thought they could make if Oakland or another jurisdiction gave them a sweetheart stadium deal. So if "failing" is not maximizing profits, then maybe this is true. But in some recent years the A's made huge profits.

appears they targeted him due to his past actions, so that's Capital Murder, not manslaughter

Keith Law rates them #7 system It’s an extremely top-heavy system, but the Tigers have three of the top 20 prospects in the sport, and I think most GMs would gladly take three prospects of that caliber and a system of nothing else — which isn’t true of the Tigers, I’m just speaking hypothetically — over a system that is much deeper in future big leaguers but doesn’t have those future stars. And if Bryce Rainer comes back healthy and picks up where he left off, it might be three of the top 10 prospects in the sport by Memorial Day.

this is the current NBA system; has happened a few times, where a team has payroll lower than floor, and the players all got one share of the delta as a bonus

so they are laying the groundwork for 2028 to invalidate any results from Democratic areas, especially ones where those black people live. Look for Philly, Detroit, Chicago and other urban areas to have this sort of "investigation" so they can throw out the 2028 results. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-agents-search-election-hub-in-fulton-county-georgia

domestic terrorism charges coming, no?

Polian denied it. Says he voted for Belichick.

if we get a Dem administration on Jan 20, 2029, all the MAGA trash needs to be immediately rounded up to face swift, brutal justice

can Manu at least replace Skipper?

Neither of these teams is great. Mahomes is at home. Would have been a great year to get in the playoffs and see what happens. Oh well. Life is unfair; sports are unfair. Cannot abide another Pats title.

someone noted that they selected AAA All-star Christin Stewart with the pick they were awarded when Max Scherzer left, so that's something to look forward to to 2031

that would be a horrible deal for Skubal - pitchers get injured and he has already been injured he is not foregoing $200M+ of guaranteed money to sign for 3 years

and there would be more picks available to make a modest trade if Holmes did not piss away picks to move up to grab Arnold, Manu, Vaki, TeSlaa, Martin, Fraizer, and others.

looks super unlikely that the mets trade for Skubal https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/01/mets-trade-for-freddy-peralta.html

cannot recall any article saying, John Morton is not a good fit for the Lions persona, scheme or personnel

Luis Robert to Mets for 2 blah prospects. Nice roll of the dice by the Mets. If Robert can play 100-110 games (huge ? mark there) could be impactful for them.

Lee #3 for 3rd base. McGonigle will be #2 for SS tomorrow; Rainer could be on list too Max might be #1 for OF

Dan and Brad dragged this garbage franchise out of hell and into the playoffs But we shall see if they can make the next step

a lot of economically illiterate people think that if the players were not so greedy, tickets and beers would be cheaper it is odd to see fans clamoring for owners to keep more and more of the revenue

Bichette to Mets 3/126 (42 per)

right now in terms of asset allocation, the Tigers have 1 year of Skubal, might be worth 6-8 WAR in 2026 + the 31st pick in 2027. The chances he signs with Det are approaching zero. it is obvious to me the proactive decision would be to trade him now.

Mets rumored to be offering Tucker 50M per year on a short term deal (2 or 3 years?)
