I mean I agree. I think it’s more I want them to get a player still in their “peak” years and not on the back slope where the end of contract is then used as evidence to never to do it again.

I wasn’t clear but I meant in general and not explicitly this coming year. To be a team that is willing to handout that 4 year 80-100M contract.

Who knows. Certainly not for the Reds

Woo @wooooothereds.bsky.social · 3h

I don’t want the Reds to sign Schwarber this offseason. I want them to be a team that signs a 29 or 30 year old impact bat to a contract like what Schwarber just finished (4yr/79M).

mentioning “high” payrolls anytime a team loses is such anti labor bullshit

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

I’m sure this administration will have a “fix the glitch” fund the rich can hit up to make their taxes just go away

My BIL works at the IRS and he got one of those “you will be laid off” letters. So your comment absolutely tracks.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Wasn’t really sure what to expect from Chapel Bill. But after that drive, I have him as second best college coach I’ve ever seen, just below Saban.
