bingo. either Kelly or Rogers would be huge upgrade for either team in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king

Harris needs to do something with Flaherty. Harris cannot 2 years in a row get nothing for one of the biggest pitchers on the trade block. Avila got robbed over and over and over again, but showed he had the guts to be wrong (and proved that to all repeatedly). Harris? We shall see.

a large amount of Dingler's perceived ML value is tied to his defense at C. It would be shocking if he can hit well enough to play 1b. But uber-athletic, so he could do it with the glove.

SSS, but Kreidler and Leonard are both struggling at Lakeland in rehab assignments. Kreidler has been really bad.

except that Javy has decreased his high K rate every year in Detroit from 24 to 22 to 20 percent all that is cost him was - everything, as his power is completely gone, as he attempts to "control the zone"

joining Hamm, Lee, and Anderson from the 2023 draft at WMI

that's because you are a puppet, not a brave Truth Seeker, who can see how everything actually works

only GOP I voted for was in 1996, John Warner (against Mark Warner who would eventually win) because John came out against Oliver North when he ran for Senate. Today, Ollie would need to move hard right to be MAGA.

sad reality is this: Tork has a low ceiling as a ML player, and he may not reach it, especially not here tanking is so stupid especially in baseball and now we are hoping to get a CJ Cron-level player from the 1/1 pick

pretty sure this is settled NY state case law. Little bit like felony murder. if you are the getaway driver and your dumb ass brother in law kills the store clerk, you can be charged with murder. Like Trump, it is the combination of crimes that really ups the ante

Trump is currently rambling at Trump Tower - almost impossible to make sense of anything he said, but mainstream media will tidy it all up for him

you may be right and i may be crazy, but this is not out of the blue for him. he was really, really good his first 2 full years in STL. seen as the future ace to build around. this is what a healthy Flaherty looks like. who one knows how long his health will last.

6 year contract only goes thru age 34 season for Flaherty. Dollars not that relevant, but years will scare off Harris and lead to deadline trade

zero chance he does not get jail time. will he ever serve that time? don't know

MAGA taking it well

Flaherty is going to a problem for Harris. They can extend him, but the years are not going to be agreeable to a team that thinks they can find another Flaherty every winter. They can hold onto him and sign him in the winter, but the price will only be higher then. They can let him go for a comp pick, but that provides no help for 4 years. Or they can trade him, and absolutely, it would need to be for a guy who is ML ready. He couldn't meet the moment when trading ERod; no idea if he is able (willing?) to make a big, impactful move.

Dingler is having a monster May. Going to be 26 later this season so need to get a look at him in Detroit at some point

they are, yet again, telling us all what they will do; and, yet again, people will ignore these confessions; and, yet again, be shocked - SHOCKED I SAY! - when they do what they said they would do

no reason to think Gores has made a good decision here; history clearly tells us that; until he shows otherwise, Langdon is a horrible hire

per rulebook, call was correct. I don't think it should have been called, because the amount of interference was so very very minor. But as soon as IFFR called, batter was out. but play is not dead, as runners can advance at their risk

this may have been correct, but crazy to call it

the person most responsible for not having any viable alternatives to Javy at SS is Scott Harris.
