Tomorrow at 2pm ET, I'm going to be doing an AMA on @baseballreddit.bsky.social (r/baseball) about this year's Top 50 free agents. But also - ask me anything! That's the whole point.

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.

Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.
