Nola re-signed with Philly after rejecting non-serious offers from Atl and LAD of 162 and 165M

if I know a guy, let's call him Rasheed, and he wears a NYY hat, gets very excited when the NYY slaughter another team, cries when the NYY lose, despises the Red Sox, and agrees with every decision the NYY make, no matter how barbaric, can't I just assume he is a NYY fan, even if he never has the guts to publicly admit it?

Pete Meijer says Biden's economic destruction of the country must be stopped, even if it means electing the Trump. He is still pissed Dems supported his wacko GQP opponent in the primary. My overarching goal is to make Joe Biden a one-term president. I think that economic damage that he has wrought and will continue to bring will have far more wide-reaching negative consequences on the country than a second non-consecutive Trump administration.

lots of unnecessary drama avoided

defense needs help; ignoring it at trade deadline looking even worse; Quinton Bohanna? who? offense will get them a lot more wins and maybe some playoff wins as well

Gibbs, Montgomery, St Brown, and Williams all need more touches. Don’t forget about LaPorta either

Inter webs are saying Nola’s 7/172 was a little light; the dollars are no big deal but the years are the key; 6-10 years is the length the top of the market will get; Harris will need to offer a lot of years to land an impact player

Ilitch must be thrilled they are down to about 61M for 2024 payroll

Lots of bs from Harris about how he expected Turnbull to compete for rotation All that fight about service time for nothing

nope, I am not; Harris only works for the Tigers; 😉 ; the LAD can afford - both literally and figuratively - to be "wrong" about YY, and keep on keeping on; if the Tigers sign YY for 10/200 and he is a 5th starter thru 2033, that would be a huge problem

spending $200M on a guy who has thrown 0 MLB pitches would be a calculated risk; cannot see Harris doing this https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/11/diamondbacks-tigers-interested-in-yoshinobu-yamamoto.html

not sure why SD trades the one player they have who is vastly over-performing his salary, but getting Kim would be awesome, provided they can sign him to an extension. different player, but his production is what you hope Keith or Jung could do. also, they still have no one anywhere in the system to replace Baez should he continue on his current trajectory. Kim would be that guy. also, would be nice to get into the market for top Korean and later Japanese players

Univision's new Cuban owners, friends with Jared, really want Trump to be president

Dingler and Flores added

Truth Social hemorrhaging money; I am certain that Trump will take the financial hit when it implodes rather than passing those losses onto his followers

Padres want to contend next year w/200MM payroll, but they have many, many issues to sort out

who are you gonna believe? some random 5 year NFL vet? or a highly-opinionated poster?

this is the way. there are a huge number of Americans who consume almost no news. they are probably more aware that Trump is the massively successful businessman who had a hit show on NBC then that he tried to overthrow the government. Was at a party this Summer and talking to some rando and mentioned J6 and he said "what ever happened with that? did Trump ever leave?" literally, he was not sure if Trump was in DC or MAL. Pretty sure that guy is going to vote in 2024. the delta in states that matter was under 100k in both 2016 and 2020 - every vote counts - at least there it does

force-feeding Gibbs in the Carolina game really helped get him going; the Chi game might be a good opportunity to try the same w/Williams

I assume they a temporary restraining order teed up already

this guy will end up voting for Trump a third time because Dems will force him to, but still a good tweet Erick Erickson @EWErickson The GOP is no longer a national party. It is a collection of disparate regional parties. In some areas, the party wins by being tied to Trump. In some areas, it loses by being tied to Trump. What wins in pro-Trump areas and what wins in anti-Trump areas are incompatible, which means the party's coalition is unstable and unworkable nationally. It allows the Democrats, if they are more united, to win nationally against a party divided against itself whose base is chiefly motivated to funding and voting for one man and not the party or other candidates. The candidate is the cause whereas, for Democrats right now, the cause is the candidate embodied in whoever's name happens to be on the ballot.

if the price was 9/330, the Nats or Padres would have locked him up already next Winter, Boras will ask for 15/600M for Soto; that's 40M per year, ages 26 to 40 Judge got 9/360M, that 40m per year, ages 31-39 IMO that Soto and Boras will get well over 500M

No, he's still has other civil matters pending from other women; and he is suing the Athletic as well. I think he'd be a huge distraction, though not necessary all his fault

horrible person, but interesting compromise
