One video seems to show an agent grabbing a bronze handgun with a mounted optic a couple seconds before they shot him, and “outdoorsy VA nurse” is pretty much the middle of the Venn diagram for a liberal gun owner, so I’m not too doubtful. Not that it gives them any excuse.

The sentence after “…suffered a landing gear failure” is not what I expected. Reaching your ninth decade with that kind of career has got to be a 1/1000 event.

I'm bummed about missing out on Bichette too but I've never understood the Bohm hate. He's a 104 OPS guy who can do an okay job of standing near third base, which is fine? Fangraphs' 2.4 win projection seems high, but he doesn't strike out much and should be pretty low on the Phillies' to-do list.

More revenue sharing and a salary floor might not reduce $$$ for the biggest free agents, but it would absolutely improve life for small and mid-market fans.
