Daulton Varsho and Ernie Clement need a nice 4 or 5 year extension.
MLB's annual non-tender deadline is today at 5pm ET.
Many players will be non-tendered across MLB, but all four arb eligible Blue Jays (Varsho, Lauer, Clement, Heineman) are expected back in 2026. Jays already created 40-man space by parting ways with Sandlin, Tate & Burr.

Oh my goodness, this team needs a DH who is good at the "H" part of DH. 🫣
And listen, I dearly love every one of these guys. Endy is a damn delight, and I'd love to see Will R get a shot. But...... oof.

I will be SO PISSED if they make me think more than absolutely necessary about politics/policy/etc this winter.
Stupid mistakes happen in politics all the time, but my hunch is that if the opposition parties force an election and can't clearly explain what was so objectionable about the budget that they needed to torpedo it, the end result is a Liberal majority government going into 2026.

if they even THINK about Bo.... 😢
The @fangraphs depth charts, which are always super useful, have the Dodgers with absolute weakest 2B situation in baseball right now. Along with OF, pretty obvious place to find a bat. (If you can.)

new @fangraphs.com: Carlos Delgado went one-and-done on the 2015 ballot. Despite his 473 homers, he doesn't stack up well in WAR/JAWS, but his willingness to speak out against injustice makes him one of the most interesting HOF candidates I've covered.

2026 Contemporary Baseball Era Committee Candidate: Carlos Delgado
The longtime Blue Jays and Mets slugger bashed a ton of homers, and — more importantly — used his platform to speak out against injustice.
