Good morning. I wrote this song. I will keep writing more.
I just made from scratch, hand-made pasta for the first time. It was so fun and easy. I don’t know why I never tried it before.

As always, Matt’s read of the situation is indispensable.
The Pohlad family is going about this all with Midwestern stoicism, but Wednesday brought us some eye-opening nuggets. Like, Joe Pohlad isn't out voluntarily. Like, Tom Pohlad is the only Pohlad in charge now. Like, change will come much faster for this team now. twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/...
Twins Ownership Transition Goes from Quiet Money Move to Extremely Minnesotan Palace Intrigue
Though they weren't officially sold and the Pohlad family will retain control of the team, as things turned out, there's a very real change afoot—and it wasn't a peaceful transition, per se.

Zach is one of the best and The Bandwagon is a really fun way to keep up with the game. One time we were going to hang out, but then I had to cancel because I came down with stomach flu. That's a story (almost) about Zach and me.
The Bandwagon is back today, rolling on as a solo venture. Here’s what to expect going forward. bandwagon.substack.com/p/the-bandwa...

BP is a machine that makes you think better about baseball, and if you read enough of @euqubud.baseballprospectus.com's work it'll give you persistent depressive disorder too. A bargain even at the new price, if you're a sports fan
hey everyone, today we're announcing something at BP that is both long overdue and something I wish we could keep holding off on, but the reality is we can't: a price change to our subscription.
We'll continue to provide one of the best value props out there, and keep earning your support.

New category: "In on heavy."
Ryan Helsley said possibility of starting was "definitely real" and that he told his agent to listen if teams asked about it. Said Tigers were "in on me heavy" as SP.
"Weighed the options and the risks and they just didn't seem to line up with where I am in my career."

Andrew Baggarly doing God's work here. Giants were involved.
Cody Ponce is going to Toronto on a 3-year, $30 million deal that crushed industry estimates, via @ken-rosenthal.bsky.social . Giants were involved but market got beyond them. Jays moved quickly to replace Chris Bassitt and Max Scherzer with Dylan Cease and Ponce. Will one or both be SF-bound now? 🤔

This is one of my favorites ever. What does it mean to have had at least preliminary interest? Scientists may never know.
This story is a great opportunity to remind everyone of my brother’s favorite @fangraphs.com off season project: the hilarious “We tried!” tracker from @davyandrewsdavy.bsky.social. Please submit news like this to Davy so that we can all laugh at the end of the off season.

I have the best city council member.
Today, NYC Council passed Int. 1216A, which will provide salons with multilingual posters that
display resources for survivors of domestic and gender-based violence. This will ensure survivors are met where they are, in trusted spaces, with the resources they need.
