CNN has suddenly discovered Tennessee's Patriot Front compound that was a subject of an extensive NewsChannel 5 investigation back in March. Here is my report: 1/ www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...
'This isn't your granddad's KKK.' Inside the hate group expanding its presence in Tennessee
They are the largest hate group in America, wrapping themselves in the red-white-and-blue of the flag, marching into the middle of American cities and claiming to be patriots.

Signing Foley & Hentges are both good low risk, high potential benefit moves. The issue I have is that these are the only moves thus far with a lot of guys off the board. That increases the need for these guys to be fully healthy & immediately “themselves” again coming off of shoulder surgery. 😬
Jason Foley signs a 1-year deal with the Giants.

Dammit! This was my hope for 2B in SF.

This is annoying. I know he had next to no value at this point. I guess I was holding out hope he might find something with the new staff this Spring. Even if only to recoup some value to be part of a deal at the end of camp.

The #SFGiants have made the following roster move today:
• OF Marco Luciano claimed off outright waivers by Pittsburgh.

Hmm. Ponce would have been sneaky-interesting. Thought he was a likely target as well. Getting just a smidge antsy over here.

Iglesias, Helsley and now Williams are all off the board at the closer spot. I have no illusions the Giants will pursue Diaz or Suarez so I guess maybe Weaver could make sense? Sure looks like they will go into Spring Training with open competition at the back-end of the bullpen.

Kinda glad I don’t really give a shit about football any longer.
Fifteen months ago, WR Brandon Aiyuk and the San Francisco 49ers ended a contentious contract dispute by negotiating a four-year, $120 million extension.
It now appears that Aiyuk and the 49ers are headed for a stunning divorce, per @diannarussini.bsky.social and @mikesilver.bsky.social.

3 arms in this list that I hope the Giants are targeting.
Tatsuya Imai's fastball comps really well to Joe Ryan's fastball once you account for arm angle and movement. But it's faster.
He's on my list of four free agents that could be bargains on their projected deals: www.nytimes.com/athletic/681...

Completely unsurprised that @deucemason.bsky.social & @morganragan.bsky.social are bringing it.
Been listening to these two since the 1140 days and they just don’t go into a slump.

Assuming the internal budget aligns with the 1st CBT line, would $205M be a good guess at what Posey & Co would not cross barring a run at Kyle Tucker? This would be assuming about 19% for the player benefits & other stuff that goes against the CBT.

Giants should be all over Manoah here. Exactly the kind of guy they should be looking to add for next season (in addition of course to a #3 SP).

the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

In case you are wondering @alexpavlovic.bsky.social , Jean Segura holds spots 1-4 all on his own for 2B.

Carlos Beltran 😬

Yes, the ballpark scoreboard needs a pitch metric update. I’ll also throw in that the exit velo on batted ball exit velo leaving the tiny board in LF would be red on StatCast. Blink & it’s gone.

Between the amateur draft and this trade deadline, it seems clear Posey wants hitters who make a lot of contact.

The Giants fired Justin Viele over the offseason, their offense was good for the first month, and now it's bad again. The solution is obvious: rehire Justin Viele and then fire him again.
