I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

Anthony Rendon retiring would be devastating for baseball accounts on social media that exist solely to farm engagement. Possible recession indicator, tbh

according to @espn.com Anthony Rendon is working with the angels on a buyout deal to retire. it's about damn time and i hope the angels can use that money effectively in FA this winter
with the rendon contract potentially in the rearview mirror, it feels really bittersweet.

i think this a fantastic move for the angels, ward is a solid but low ceiling/low floor OFer and they got a huge upside pitcher. even if it completely fails, ward was likely leaving in one year anyway

Orioles Add Taylor Ward, Send Grayson Rodriguez West
Baltimore broke a years-long pattern of trading primarily for long-term value, and the Angels were the beneficiaries of their change of heart.
