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

Cease last 3 years: 4.18 era; 102 OPS+ Tarik (maybe with 3 Cy Youngs) will hit free agency at the same age as Cease; 10/400 is not crazy

Ugh. 4th and 5th string TEs? Where is James Mitchell? Raymond out. TeSlaa questionable. Entire OL questionable.

LAA working on buyout for last $38M of Anthony Rendon's god awful contract.

you are 100% correct. and any politician who runs on reducing services and/or raising taxes will lose. Americans don't want to pay that bill.

There is no significant number voters who are interested in balancing the budget or addressing the national debt. Two things Americans absolutely do not want: less services and more taxes.

Espn story: 1 voter has tigers signing Tucker; 1 voter has tigers signing Valdez; zero voters have Skubal signing long term What will the Tigers do with Tarik Skubal this offseason -- trade him, extend him or let it play out? Survey says: Let it play out 10, trade him 3, sign/extend him 0

I know one team that tries! Would love to see this team go 15-0 in November. don't we deserve that after enduring a decade of crap?

Sonny Gray and $20M to Red Sox for 2 decent prospects

i hope the lesson learned here is not, see we can just show up for 4th and it will be OK.

Vilma actually said something useful: why was Lawrence not in the game for the 1st play of OT?

i hope they throw the ball to a stationary Gibbs out in the flat at least 6 more times today!

coach, we should call a double reverse, it worked in the first half! are you kidding? no way that a team falls for that twice in one game. Lions: hold my beer

HAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not sure Winston is delivering the ball so quickly. wouldn't it be better to hold onto the ball for a few more seconds and let the defense get to you?

can Gibbs save Dan butt once again? probably
