looks like Trump's lawyers said no to the witness tampering/obstruction of justice really on Monday. no matter, I think he will have the post-processing rally described above and commit all the same crimes then

I am sure there will be more ups and downs, but Tork-Greene-Carpenter are showing they are ML starting caliber players, with still undetermined ceilings for all. Next year they will be going through the same growing pains with Keith-Meadows-Malloy*. It will be tricky to balance winning with developing young talent. The division is there for the taking. *(Also could see Wenceel, Sands, Lipcius?, Kreidler yet again, and later Bigbie)

BOOOOM

just how Al Avila drew it up

yes

Karl Malone is the HOF. When he was a 20 year old college player, a 13 year old girl gave birth to his son.

and if the mom was extorting him for money, you can always arrest her too.

Shaprio actually wrote an entire book about prosecuting Obama under RICO for all his crimes

Caitlyn Jenner was not the worst guest last night on Fox

kind of mirrors the Trevor Bauer situation - even if somehow not illegal, career significantly at risk

FG has them 15th. obviously, these just don't matter much. can you graduate talent to the majors and trade talent when needed? that is all that matters. (I will note that Carpenter was never on many Top XX lists, because his rise was so fast, and then the next winter his prospects status was expired.)

can't stop, won't stop committing the same crime

to repeat, this tweet is STILL up

Chapman is probably aiming for a Kris Bryant pay day, 7/182M. maybe he falls short of that, but 6/150 seems reachable for him. Chapman is really, really good, and will be coming off a 5+ WAR season. also insanely consistent. per FG, his offense, defense and baserunning have all been assets every year of his career. rare that a player does not have a down year. he would be a great add. but hard to see Tigers with the wining bid

Vest back; Shreve DFA

still works, but glitchy for me yesterday trying same thing

or, alternatively, throw cash at them

Merrifield on a 2 year deal would be a bridge to Jung/Lee/Gold. Same for Caratini if Dingler is still in their long term plans, though 2 years probably not enough. They can pay a premium for any player for a short term deal; the 2024 payroll is looking Oakland-esque.

C - NEED TO ACQUIRE; Jake 1B - Tork 2B - NEED TO ACQUIRE; McKinstry or Maton SS - Baez 3B - Keith; Ibanez or Short or Kreidler LF/DH - Carpenter; Malloy or Baddoo CF - Greene; NEED? RF - Meadows; Vierling If Harris can fill C, 2B, and maybe another OF, with a little growth and a little luck, no reason they cannot be .500ish, and in the ALC that's all you need. Hard to believe he again ignores improving ML lineup this winter.

Obama just broke them

future gym teachers Seth Stephenson, Carlos Pelegrin, JD McLaughlin and Jose De La Cruz currently are in the Lakeland OF, so that should not be a problem

Keith Law, who hates the Tigers(TM), wrote Vierling alone would have been a good enough return for Soto.

I don't really get UZR, but FG seems to indicate that Carpenter had been above average in LF (SSS) and basically average in RF this year. (they give him negative value overall as a fielder I assume because he DHs a lot; don't understand that either). But if he is average, then they have a pretty good long term piece.

I know "If Obama said that," is overdone, but if Obama said he preferred a foreign country over America, Fox would hold a five day telethon, and their anchors would literally weep about the damage he has damage to the county by saying that

"pro life" party strikes again
