Yeah, and I mean, there's nothing necessarily "wrong" with being in that second camp. The Yankees and Dodgers are in tiers of their own, and the Mets have an owner who just doesn't give a rats' ass how much things cost. The Jays problem right now is they just don't have a clear direction on...

What I still don't get, you can argue to keep Shapiro around because cupholders and whatever, but can he not find someone else who he can trust to do his every bidding as GM? He could have fired Atkins sometime in the last couple years, brought in some fresh blood who can parrot useless talking...

Yeah, like 10/300 before this year would be enough to get it done. Now it's probably 12/450 or more

Probably a 22 year deal. Or like 400m of deferred money so worth a ton less. "We made a great effort but will pivot"

I don't think anyone really believes there's even a marginal shot, and there's enough other teams in the mix, that the Jays just look like an after-thought. At least for Ohtani it seems like the Jays were the team that pushed the price up

I think they need to re-print the batting gloves.

Honestly, the future of the team is in pretty rough shape. The team's prospect pool is one of the worst in the league, and if they actually lost Vlad+Bo without getting more than a qualifying offer pick in return, it's going to be a decade before the team will be back to relevance. So in...

Yeah, I would have expected him to be a fair bit higher. I wonder how generous the option is

It just doesn't happen to challenge a sitting president if they want to run. They needed someone to convince Biden not to run again, that it would be healthier for everyone to pass the torch. You needed him to declare he wasn't running, to let the field open up for Pete or Kamala or whoever else...

Yeah, they'll deport a few trans Mexicans and blame the Democrat minority for not being able to deport more, and that's the real reason social security is dead and eggs are 8$ a carton.

Sasaki is the easiest option to be all in on, since you're capped in what you can spend. The only caveat is whether the team has any IAFA commitments already that they might be willing to break.

The problem is people have gone down the rabbit hole, I'm just not sure that people will be able to admit they were duped. And given all the fake news and setups, I think there's a good chance they might try the shenanigans in 4 years if they "lose", and you know Vance, the court, and co will...

I expect him to last, because unlike Biden, he's not really going to actually care about stuff and stress about the job. He'll let everyone else do all the hard work and he'll just tweet his nonsense from the toilet like always.

I don't have an issue with it. Who cares about being nice or whatever, not like the Republicans play by any rules or norms anymore. Might as well get it out of the way now.

You mean the video interview where a journalist sat down 3 times with some random CIA guy whose job apparently is to sign contracts, but who seemed super happy to share all of these entrapments the CIA does internally? Personally, I have doubts that someone whose job is supposedly basically...

Deferred money doesn't really matter. It's basically just the team and player agreeing on the terms of a loan. MLB itself has some pretty set rules for how to treat those for CBT purposes. In the end it's mostly a tool for agents to brag about a higher number. So Ohtani can be a 700m player...

Yeah, if we want to put a sin tax on sugar and fat, and use that to subsidize healthier foods, gyms, and stuff like that, I'm for that as well. No reason you can't try to fight this from all angles. Let's at least start by killing the subsidies to the corn industry that's putting high-fructose...

Yeah, like sure it would be great to get all the processing out of food, and get people on a healthier lifestyle. But if Ozempic actually works for a large group of people, it could be absolutely revolutionary to combatting one of the biggest diseases out there. Now, I'm not sure it's 100% ready...

If you asked the average 18 year old college kid how much of the principle they would pay after any length of time with a standard interest rate, I bet most people would not pick anywhere close to the value. Finance is basically not taught to kids. You need to either spend as much as you do in...
