it is perfectly rational to say: I am not signing Skubal to a 10/400 contract. The risk is real that he gets injured at some point and that is a massive amount of dead money on the payroll, which could very well be crippling for the team. The NYY got super lucky that Gerrit Cole (after making just 17 starts in 2024 due to injuries) opted out of his contract last winter, and the Yankees got to avoid the riskiest years of the contract, ages 34-38. Instead, NYY made the awful decision to let Cole undo the opt out when Boras found no market. The result: Cole had TJ surgery in March and is looking at a May 2026 return. 1.5 years of nothing, followed by ? level of performance at 35.

truly stunning that a guy who regularly does psychdelics, with a dead worm lodged in his brain, who has pumped over a gallon of heroin into his body, is working with non-medical kooks to kill and maim a lot of American children, and it barely registers a shrug; no hep vax for kids = a lot more dead kids

Dan called a good game; every trick play sucked though

why was Kennedy not returning kicks all year?

now we all wait to see if Brian Cole is scumbag Vice President of Antifa or misunderstood MAGA.

clueless institutionalists are going to blow this in 2026

Harris should only sign good, young, durable starters who don't command a lot of $$$ or years.

I assume he would be in CF for 2026

so Ketel Marte might be available, and I totally believe that Tigers are interested. Marte and Torres at the top of the order is just what Harris would want

(Edman explained it better)

James Bowman may need to deport his wife and kids to prove his love to the Orange pedo turd.

Secretary of War Crimes claims he stepped out of the room at the time of second strike to chug some brewskis.

there's got to be a way to do a deep dive into this. i assume they have been hit harder by injuries than the average team. that may or may not be true. SF seems to be chugging along fine with lots of injuries. Washington has been decimated.

why exactly are they moving on from the Allstar/Silver Slugger award winning guy who had over 3 WAR while making peanuts, who allowed Hinch to make whatever move he wanted by playing 5 different positions?

cannot see the Orange pedo turd making it to Jan 2029. mentally he is mush; physically he is deteriorating before our eyes even with the routine injections

did not realize Skubal was part of 8 man union committee Who are the primary names fans should know on both sides of the negotiations? For the players: Deputy executive director Bruce Meyer is the lead negotiator, Clark the ultimate authority. There is a 38-member executive board of players, made up of eight elected, high-ranking subcommittee members (Cy Young winners Paul Skenes and Tarik Skubal, plus veterans Chris Bassitt, Jake Cronenworth, Pete Fairbanks, Cedric Mullins, Marcus Semien and Brent Suter) and one representative from each team -- the delegates for the rank-and-file.

as alternative to Bregman or Bichette, I would see what Isaac Paredes would cost in a trade. if Alvarez needs to be fulltime DH, and Walker, Altuve, Pena, and Correa are the IF, no easy fit for him in Houston. 2 years of control; with flexibility AJ likes

Bregman and Bichette and Tucker have the skills they want in hitters. presumably those skills will age okay. it was a huge miss last winter to not sign Bregman.

Trevor Bauer, an a-hole who gleefully treated women like garbage publicly and privately, was the victim of an extortion plot. Other people in his situation would not have had the means to avoid either criminal or civil ramifications. Thankfully, the truth of that situation came out, but it does not change the fact that he's an a-hole who gleefully treated women like garbage publicly and privately.

Hot Take: Lions kept wrong coach.

Orange pedo turd is nuts

something else that needs to be fixed. after hitting gold in 2021-23 drafts, the 2024 and 2025 drafts are looking rough for Brad traded up to get Arnold - plenty of 2nd round CBs look to be equal if not better than him so far Rakestraw, showed nothing in small doses when not injured traded up for Manu and then traded up for Vaki - LOL! Why??? Wingo is too small for what Dan, Glenn and now Shep want on the DL so he never plays Mahongany - best pick Williams - outplayed by other DTs picked much later so far traded up for Ratledge - A+ traded up for TeSlaa, again, trading up for a project who would have been there when you picked traded up for Fraizer - loved him in SEC, not healthy, but this guy is going to contribute something next year Hassen - come on, really? Jackson and Lovett - whatever. the reason Brad does not want to give up picks in trades at the deadline, is because he either already has or is planning to use them in the draft, when he trades up to get "his" guys, like Brodic Martin

never thought I would say this of a Dan Campbell team, but they are really underperforming. Genuinely shocked. Dan needs to stop with the 4th down silliness. now that the games actually matter you cannot keep pushing all-in on every 4th down. be a man and take the effing 3 points. this isn't Madden.

Ragnow just re-retired.

literally, cannot win 'em all; even OKC could lose tonite; they won't; but they could
