I have the chance to do the dumbest, saddest, White Sox trip of all time in a few months.
Using only mileage and paying nothing out of pocket, I can fly to Sacramento in the morning, watch the Sox play at a fake stadium, and then fly back home after the game...
Should I do it?

Good on Anthony Rendon, truly.
It's a shame he didn't continue his superstar path, but taking $250m from shitbird Arte Moreno is beautiful work. Original devious lick.

Finally got around to framing this jersey today.
Winning this kit signed by the entire squad at a Brentford event in Chicago was one of my favorite moments of 2024.

As a perk of a gig I was working, I now have an abundance of mulled wine. 10 liters...
Knowing there's no way I could (or would want to) consume 10 liters of wine before it goes off, what else could it be used for in bulk?
I know I can poach pears and use it for baking, but I need more uses...

It's wild that Philip Rivers hates being around his 24 children so much he'd rather go get a brain injury than spend more time at home.

One guy I would have liked to see drafted in the Rule 5 is Ian Mejia.
Is he a good prospect? No.
Is he a great pitcher? Not particularly.
Does he have great stuff? Nah.
But I love pitchers with absolutely no velo that still get results.
He absolutely could eat a bunch of innings for the Sox.

The Nationals did very well to acquire Harry Ford.
It's clear that Keibert Ruiz is never going to develop. Harry Ford has a shot at becoming a decent enough starter to offset that awful Ruiz extension.
The club can also maximize value and gain a draft pick with a strong ROY finish by Ford

I think it's really fucked up that a person was able to acquire a mummy that was undoubtedly looted and stolen from Egypt, and it has now been cut up to make a trading card.
A "original piece of an Egyptian mummy" in every box.

I tried to take a step back from Spotify this year and instead did a lot of listening on Radio Garden (highly recommend for random world radio stations).
That said, I'm undoubtedly sucker for Southside rap, sapphic alt-country, Bakersfield sound, and communist jazz from Guinea.

I'm not sure if Mark Buehrle ever gets elected to the HOF, but honestly, this is the year it should happen.
It's a weak class, and he's arguably the best player on the ballot without steroid allegations.
If Buehrle played for the Yankees or Dodgers, I think he'd already be in.

I don't hate this deal. I'm not sure how Ponce will be in his MLB return, but for $10m/year, he doesn't need to be a star to make the contract make sense. Hell, he doesn't even need to be particularly good to make that commitment worthwhile.
Blue Jays are in agreement with Cody Ponce on a deal that further augments their rotation per sources.
@ken-rosenthal.bsky.social was first & Passan says the deal is for $30 million over three years

A bit of a bummer of a move. With nothing at stake, I would have loved to see Gomez start the season in the rotation.
Across his first 8 starts with the White Sox down the stretch, Gomez had a FIP of 4.06.
I'd not be surprised to see him become a fixture in the Rays rotation.

Can confirm the White Sox are trading RHPs Yoendrys Gómez and Steven Wilson to the Tampa Bay Rays for OF Everson Pereira and INF Tanner Murray

From a financial perspective, the Cano signing was a massive success for the Mariners.
He put up insane value during his time in Seattle. He averaged nearly 5.5 bWAR per 162, and they got out of the bad half of the contract.
If anything, it should act as incentive to sign guys to massive deals!

He was the man Maddon trusted to start Game 6 in the 2016 NLCS & won the game that sent the Cubs to the World Series. He was the man Maddon trusted to start Game 7 of the World Series. He is truly an all time Cubs legend. Congratulations on your retirement Kyle Hendricks.
