I'm not sure I love trading Sproat and Jett for one year of Peralta (because you know Stearns isn't resigning him). Given the state of this rotation and Stearns unwillingness to spend, young controllable pitching is valuable, as is a young bat with positional versatility.

Theology 101: Now is not the time for date-setting and sign-seeking by end-times hacks and quacks. Now is the time for prayer and fasting for peace and justice, for walking in the Spirit, for loving our neighbors, and for doing to others what we would want others to do for us.

The reason why white evangelicals lose their minds over a non-violent interruption of their worship service and don't even blink an eye at a violent invasion of their neighborhoods is that they don't consider their neighbors as sacred.

People say AI is a magic shortcut to creativity & success. I’ll tell you the real secret and it’s voraciously reading, being interested in everything, being diligent in the pursuit of learning, paying attention to the interior lives of others & keeping a heart open to the world.
