The question, of course, is: are they allowed do this? Because if they can, this seems like the easiest, least bloody out of it. Or are they bound to make a decision in the same session they put it on the docket?

yes. they are allowed to do whatever they want. But, once 5 justices agree, Roberts can issue a decision. Dissents have been formally added months after decisions. Roberts will have a 7-2 vote against Trump right away.

Roberts will write the decision, and I will say that he will wait as long as he can for Thomas and Alito to come around. That is a good faith reason for Roberts to wait a little bit of time, even if Thomas and Alito will act in bad faith by trying to delay as long as possible.

Roberts really wants it to be 9-0, even if he ends up with 2 insane concurrences by Thomas and Alito.

If I was making the lineup, I'd start putting Baez in the 9 spot.  Stop trying to coddle the dude thinking he's going to suddenly figure things out.  Maybe the embarrassment of being a 25 million dollar a year player hitting from the basement will help motivate him. 

also, you forgot to call him a lollygagger, that would obviously compel him to create more contact

we are effing doomed. these people literally live in a different reality.

They have glaring needs at DE and CB and somewhat less so at DT. They have the cap room to make more than one significant move. I would be happy with just one impact signing. It would be a mistake to not do so IMO.

still possible to get real value from Hooker and Sorsdal; Martin and Green did not show much of anything though

all we know is Avila drafted the most risky type of player #3 - a HS pitcher

and Harris took the risk of passing on a more proven college bat, who had an absolutely monstrous year, for a HS bat from a cold weather state

time will tell if the picks were worth the risk

 What a headline this should be-

"Self-proclaimed multi-billionaire unable to come up with $500M bond in case where he is charged with inflating his assets."

Amazing to think the Muslims-Americans would do anything to help get Trump re-elected. Reap what you sow dumb assess. Trump is:

the guy with 3 different Muslim bans (1st 2 voided, 3rd upheld) who vows another one when re-elected

the guy who gut aid to Palestinians - aid that Biden restored his first few months in office

the guy who attacks the squad as unAmerican, worthy of deportation

he's a better short term fit in that McKinstry is the back up SS, with Kriedler behind him, and any long term absence by Baez would be filled by one or both

also, he's the better short term fit in that if Harris goes with the nuclear option on Baez's contract sometime in 2025, the Tigers would actually have an in house replacement, which right now, they don't seem to have anywhere in the system

as others noted, its early, and Jung may turn out to be a fantastic ML player

It will be a sign of progress for this organization whenever we finally have a draft where the fans aren't endlessly comparing the Tigers pick to some other teams pick.

The Zach Neto discourse last year whenever he was called up by the Angels was pretty insufferable 

unclear to me why draft pick mistakes are exempt from criticism.

if they hit on Jung, great, good for them.

but right now the Tigers would be absolutely do a Jung for Neto swap.

even if Jung turns out to be a better player, Neto is a much better short term and long term fit

Bellinger gets 3/80 from the Cubs, 30, 30 and 20. Can opt out after both years. Total guarantee is super low and considering his past injuries seems to be what the market would bear

The fact that no plaintiffs attorney is taking the case against Bauer - and I believe this woman settled for nothing from Bauer - which could be a career making case even if you lose - is telling

it certainly appears she was hoping for a big payday after asking to be choked out.

no prosecutor is taking a case when the accuser laid out before hand what she hoped would happen 

that doesn’t mean Bauer isn’t garbage through and through 

after Lara is made GOP chair, breakdown of $$$ would probably be:

25% to non-Trump GOP candidates' campaigns

25% to Trump campaign

25% for Trump legal bills

25% to Trump crime family as grift/patronage/embezzlement/speaking fees/consulting fees

Lara Trump literally said they should spend every penny to get Trump elected. That is a perfect plan to cripple House and Senate and governor and state house races across the country. It would result in a blue tidal wave.

could be related to Tucker's visit as well. "westerners, do you think this is a step to some normalization? Hell no. Just watch me now."

or possible Putin just stubbed his toe and decided to kill Navalny today.

what a POS:

Harris is scheduled to give remarks on Munich soon.  Will be interesting to see what she has to say on this news. 

edit:  Well that was disappointing.  She said that the USA is still working to confirm the news and that if true, Russia is responsible, that it's a sign of Putin's brutality and that the USA will have more to say.

FG with their top 100 prospects out today.

16. Jobe (Mayer is 69 for those of you tracking at home)
36. Clark (Langford is #2)
46. Keith
48. Jung
 

so Avila got it right and Harris got it wrong!

Law and FG both gushing about Josue Briceno's ceiling IF he can stay at C.

Crazy to think they actually might have a successful international signing?

Soler off of the board to Giants.  The Giants were supposedly considered a leading team for Chapman.  Does this signing affect their interest in Chapman?  Can the Tigers effectively persuade Chapman into a one year with a vesting option or two year with a player opt out?  I know a lot of folks are interested in Jung being brought up at some point this season, but I'm not sure that is something to count on.  Chapman at 3B is a defensive upgrade over the current situation.  The offense is a question mark, but so is the current situation.  I think at this point, salary wouldn't be too big of a deal for the Tigers.  Its not like they would be bidding at $40M for this season or something ridiculous like that.  But if its a short term deal, offer a way out for Chapman to potentially capitalize on a bounce back season.... why not?

would cost $ and their 3rd round pick.

won't happen, but I would offer 1/35M - 30M for 2024, with a player option of 20M for 2025 or a 5M buyout. that way he gets a) 35M for one year (which Boras will brag about as record setting) b) with a guarantee of 50M over 2 years and c) can go into free agency next winter w/o QO

the only Boras guys I can remember getting really shafted are Stephen Drew and Kendrys Morales, who both sat out the same year until July draft to avoid QO,, but usually Boras knows the market better than everyone else.

Sorry, but if this was scripted the NFL needs to better script writers.

yeah; most boring 1st half ever

and if fix was in for Chiefs, why did the refs 3 times in the 4th quarter spot the ball the short?
