Love Baseball (specifically the DBacks) Suns, Star Trek, Star Wars, TV and Film history. Proud Democrat. Lots of typos.
Nah, LLMs are really good. Developers at my office write a lot of their code with it now. Eventually it will write all their code and that will be that.

It's going to cause so many people to lose their jobs.

But to be fair I like to walk around Winnie the Pooh style as well.

He saw Winnie the Pooh and decided to take it one step further.

100%. And I don’t think we need a hard cap. Make it like the NBA where your ability to make trades and draft is severely limited if you spend over a certain amount.

I don't know a single fan who defends cheap owners.

You can be upset about both, the Dodgers spending the rest of the league into oblivion and billionaire owners who use their team as a money faucet and don't reinvent into the product on the field.

The problem is not wanting to eat his contract. The Cardinals got the Rockies to pay $36M of his salary from '21-'23 and now they want some team to pay full price for his decline years.

Until they are willing to eat half ($25-30M), they are going to have problems moving him.

I wouldn't be totally against it but I'd love if they aimed a little higher.

I do think the team missed his vocal leadership in the clubhouse, especially down the stretch. I think it's funny that so many people perceive it as a negative. Wonder if it would be the same if he was white.

Checking out Justin Turner’s stats? 🤔

Would be a fine addition to the pen but feel like Puk or Martinez are better closer options than him.

Yes, he has experience but as the article mentions, his peripherals are not those of a dominant reliever and he's not in the same ballpark as someone like Yates or the other guys you've profiled.

Hes a pitcher but it will be the first time 2 Corbins have played on the same team in MLB history (there are only 3 in MLB history, the 3rd being Corbin Martin who played for the Dbacks in '21 and '22).

He's 81 so I honestly think he is realizing you can't take that money with you.

Old owners trying to win a championship before they die is something that happens a lot in baseball but is so rarely talked about.
