Moving Lopez made room for some of the salary obligations taken on to get Kelenic, in the form of another utility player who will likely also play very little. It seems like Lopez and the roster purge in general were all about making space to buy a useful piece of two by accepting dead weight...

Their mistake was the women's swim team. They could have hid behind free speech if they hadn't threatened to pull the scholarships of those girls for complaining about the tranny.

Do you trust polls now?

Eh. I can't see Stassi as some prerequisite for a trade. The Angels would have given him to anyone willing to take the contract.

Same. I don't know how this will end but I expect it to be good and it has definitely been interesting.

Yeah. Paired with someone like Lopez.

Do you remember moderate Dem Bart Stupak during the Obamacare fight? He forged an alliance with a group of Dems to demand that abortion not be funded by ACA and took the fight to Obama and Pelosi. He lost. Then he retired. A few years before that, Blue dog Dem Heath Shuler was repping my home...

The better solution is to remove our own carbon restrictions to allow us to be competitive. As long as there are 40 or more Senate Dems that won't happen. Tariffing the imports of countries with lower bureaucracy costs isn't ideal, but neither is offshoring all of our industry.

Putin is unquestionably bad. I'll go even further. I'm okay with billion dollar aid packages that consist of obsolete weapons and arms from our Cold War stockpiles. That results in ramping up our domestic missile and artillery production. That is needed. If you want to put America first.

Good to see you guys too. I've been checking in constantly on the off season thread and couldn't help but pop in over here.

Pompeo was the brains behind the very successful and peaceful foreign policy of Trump's first term. I would gladly surrender two toes and a testicle today if it guaranteed 8 years of Pompeo in the Oval Office instead of taking my chances on the election.

The politics of this have the potential to be brilliant for the GOP if they don't screw it up by being obnoxious. Academia being biased against White men and East Asians was acceptable for The Power That Be. Now that the ethnic group that controls the vast majority of media is included, the...

Here's the other reason. Trump's policies were mostly good during his Presidency, but all his big talk about dismantling the Deep State and fighting this and that was just big talk. Desantis actually governs effectively while winning these fights, and increasing his popularity.

There are really two big reasons I prefer Desantis. This is one of them. Look at the people he has surrounded himself with. Add that imbecile Kari Lake to the list. If Trump does win, I hope Pompeo takes pity on us all by being VP so he can take over. I don't see anyone else who is competent who...

Coincidentally, I can't help but think of Terrence Moore's annual "Griffey to the Braves? It could happen" article at this time of year. Just doesn't seem like the off-season without it.

If you guys see a Royals fan, make sure to give them a hug. They need it.

He's a declining Boras client, Chicago needs a score, and there seems to be competition. It just doesn't seem like an AA move to me.

It's always bothered me that LF is a perpetual need. Of all the positions on the field to fill with an ~.800 OPS, it seems like that would be the easiest. I don't really mind it, it gets handled because it's easy enough to fill. I just think it's strange that someone hasn't made it out of the...

Projected for 4 WAR next year. Makes $27.5m over the next two years. That's a pretty big surplus value to overcome in a trade.

Would the posting fee for either Japanese pitcher count towards the luxury tax, or only the contract? If it is only the contract then either of them seem like a cap savvy way to add to the rotation.
