Mostly baseball, with some politics and other stuff thrown in. But mostly baseball.
Hyeseong Kim was posted by the KBO today.

Do we see teams that have been entertaining a Brandon Lowe trade try to get this guy? I know he’s not a ‘power guy’ like Brandon is but he would definitely be better as he definitely will have a higher OBP and hit percentage than Lowe

The first episode of Paul’s Wall will be finished this week, it’s been a rough week between work and all the stuff I got going on in life so forgive me for being a little late!

Happy late Thanksgiving all!

Tommy Edman stays in LA with a 5 year, 74 million dollar deal, that includes some deferred money.

Basically gonna get the whole Avengers by deferring every contract huh?

Blake Snell is a Dodger

Are all the Rays just OBLIGATED to sign with the Dodgers at some point in their career, like the only one they haven’t gotten who was a legend for us was Longoria and Peña so far

Randy October to the Dodgers in 2027 calling it now.

Kikuchi signing with the Angels is definitely an interesting move.

Shores up their rotation (Reid Detmers and Griffin Canning are going to be good maybe) and makes them an interesting watch for the rest of the offseason.

I like the India trade, could be an absolute win for the Royals if he returns to 2021 ROY form

I saw a few people in @dszymborski.fangraphs.com replies to Ichiro being a HOFer and perpetuating that Ichiro doesn’t deserve it and that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Ichiro was a GENERATIONAL player and the fact that we seem to have forgotten that is ASTONISHING to me.

My pick for Juan Soto, which I plan on talking about on the first episode of Paul’s Wall later next week?

1) ?????????
2) Mets
3) Yankees
4) Padres
5) Dodgers

I know the money he’s gonna command probably makes my top pick impossible but for the storyline… I LOVE IT!

Juan Soto to the Dodgers would be insane, and also would be bad bad for baseball.

A team of Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani AND Juan Soto?

I’d be surprised if they lost 50 games. There’s no way that team isn’t the best team in modern baseball history.
