Reportedly, the Cubs were unwilling to structure a Shohei Ohtani offer the same way the Dodgers did. (A contract that has become an extreme bargain.) www.bleachernation.com/cubs/2025/10...

Would Shohei Ohtani have taken the same heavily-deferred deal from the Cubs?

One of the questions I ask in undergrad and MBA interviews is “what was your first job and how old were you when you started?” Always very revealing as we look for people with strong work ethic
something weird I've noticed over the past couple of years: college students used to be adults, but are now children. it's strange. I'm even seeing grad students, who used to be adults, now be children. whereas people who used to be old, like postdocs, are now normal? maybe TikTok is to blame.
