Major league deal means he gets a 40 man spot and if he is out of options (I haven't confirmed yet), he would have to clear waivers to go to Toledo. Also, he would have the right to declare free agency if he is outrighted. Some of these deals, like Margot, last year have an automatic consent deal in it where they don't exercise that right. I haven't seen the terms, but "split contract" means he gets a lower salary in the minors, so if we see that it may signal that is the plan.

I have looked into prompt engineering as a way to learn how to better use AI. I still don't really use it because I just don't trust it. I have a feeling society at large will misuse it and there will be catastrophic consequences.

Act Blue does more harm than good, imo. The ads that show up on Twitter by Act Blue cause me to block the candidates in them.

This should go about as well as HawkTuah Coin.

No... It would be the Tigers' 3rd rounder. The pick sacrificed isn't the same as the 4th rounder the Padres gained. It is the Tigers' third pick, but their third pick is actually the competitive balance pick which is ineligible to be forfeited. If, however, they acquire a competitive balance pick in a trade, the acquired pick becomes forfeit eligible and the sacrificed pick would be either that acquired pick or the second rounder depending on which pick is acquired. That is to say... probably their 3rd rounder, but I wanted to explain the scenario it is another.

I am curious. Is there a study out there that shows off-season acquisitions earlier in the off-season are more succesful?

Can you imagine if the Chair Company didn't get picked up for a second season and it ended the way it did? I love a finale that opens up more loose ends than it ties up.

Glad BTC is citing sources now instead of just ripping stuff off.

To me, McGonigle shouldn't keep you from Bregman. He's at the tier where you make it work. Polanco, Suarez, Bichette, etc would qualify as blocking McGonigle though, and you at least have to factor in that opportunity cost.

That Sportskeeda site has really gamed Google's SEO of late. They've popped up here a few times, and atop my google search a time or two. It appears to be an AI Slop site, though.

You don't offer the QO without room in the budget if it is taken.

One accuser maybe lying doesn't mean the other ten did too.

Drunk driving is bad. Pedophilia is bad. Even if the person doing either happens to agree with me politically on the issue at hand. Epstein trashing Trump in all those emails doesn't make him a good person.

Trying to remember my timeline, but when did DOD strip all the press passes relative to the first of these war crime attacks?

My brother and I watched the latest South Park last night, and I have the song about Pete Hegseth in my head.

Trolls thrive on attention. Best to starve them. Why I can't stand the Rupar/Flipowski model.

Need I point you to the classic ESPN 30 for 30 "Broke." But yeah, like chas said, the Union is going to worry about precedent.

This was a large one. I was in the 8-9 min corral and was juking around them the whole way until I just walked off because it was hazardous and my foot was already going numb from the ankle trauma.

Prevalent during Turkey Trots, but people who start at the front of a 5k or similar run and walk. I just walked off one after rolling my ankle on a curb dodging some. Walkers go in the back.

The voice on the phone in Pluribus sounded familiar. And I was right about who it was.

Carlos Guillen was the best player on the 2006 team. Jeremy Bonderman was the best pitcher.

Just nit picking a bit, but this doesn't appear to be apples to oranges, since it compares 12 months of 2024 to 9 months of 2025. I would suspect there are some typical Q4 spikes in this particular metric given temp hiring around the Holidays or even Holiday bonuses kicking in.

For a President and a political movement that likes to use socialism and communism as boogeymen...
