For the second year in a row, I wrote a massive breakdown for this offseason.

Hope everyone has fun going through this. It was a journey to write

I’ll join in for this one because of what I said yesterday

The last time Alvarado was as good as 2025 Cardinals Helsley (without getting popped for PEDs) was 2023.

I think the Helsley deal is a good one for Baltimore but maybe I’m wrong

For @thegoodphight.bsky.social QOTD, I went with a big what if.

What if Dave Dombrowski went to the Angels instead of the Phillies? www.thegoodphight.com/phillies-ana...

I may never do the QOTD again after this.

I’ll break it down another way:

If wait and you don’t get it, the game is over

If you try now and don’t get it, you need two scores

What’s better?

Dylan Cease has 162 starts since 2021 and the next highest is Gausman at 158.

You combine that with his stuff (and good peripherals) it’s a lot easier to see why he got that money

HOLY SHIT
@JeffPassan tweeted
Right-hander Dylan Cease and the Toronto Blue Jays are in agreement on a seven-year, $210 million contract, pending a physical, sources tell ESPN. The defending American League champions get one of the best arms on the free agent market.

There’s a lot of complaining about a team rebuilding and getting cheaper but the Cardinals are pretty justified in doing it now

this is the optimal explanation, because anyone losing money on THE NEW YORK YANKEES shouldn’t be allowed to run a paper route, let alone a Major League Baseball franchise
Hearing Hal Steinbrenner on a Zoom that the Yankees didn't make a profit this year. He's hard to hear, because he's conducting the Zoom on a 200-foot megayacht in the Seychelles smoking what appears to be a new Trump $200 bill.

I have to say that as a trans journalist it's really incredible to see someone in mainstream sports media as big as Pablo Torre do a story like this. Huge props.
PTFO collaborated with @msjpauly.bsky.social and @motherjones.com on an investigation into Riley Gaines.

Riley’s messaging about trans athletes involves “predatory men” and “sexual assault.”

But there’s an important story multiple ex-teammates at Kentucky want you to know: youtu.be/iKUl8lkuGOc?...

It all goes back to taking a 90 million dollar deal with Apple TV and taking a 10 million deal with Roku. You told every sports distributor that your regular season wasn’t worth that much and you got mad when ESPN agreed.

Manfred cost the league potentially billions by doing that

It’s hard to believe just how much of a disaster Rob Manfred is to everyone associated with the sport.
