A sneak peek at the ZiPS x @fangraphs.com Depth Chart for the next ZiPS team, the Texas #Rangers.

No, ZiPS doesn't think deGrom will throw 176 innings either (it guesses 51 2/3).

I just love how people think they can “swiper no swiping” Trump. Whether or not the public agrees he has a mandate, he’s gonna do whatever the hell he wants.

No mandate!

Very funny that he picked the time period where everyone revered him as a god as the “good” times and the time period when everyone realized he was a hack as the “bad” times

No, he's not joining because thousands of people would dunk on him, like if Sisyphus were a basketball hoop

The post that is going to birth Payroll BlueSky

The Mariners are non-tendering Josh Rojas, Sam Haggerty, Austin Voth and JT Chargois, club announces.

Moves this week have freed up about $8M in the payroll budget, roughly doubling what the Mariners are projected to have available this offseason

Harassment, racism, and engagement farming are not “a difference of opinion.”

Had a chance to talk about BlueSky on Pablo’s pod—and why the echo chamber argument mischaracterizes what’s actually going on.

We have an *incredible* value proposition and we're significantly below market in where we set our prices. Look around and see: We're cheaper than just about everything that isn't free, and we do it at a premium quality and with significant volume in terms of content. I want that to stay accessible.

Am I going to be objective about this? Also no.

If the Mariners are willing to pay for him, Kim is the perfect fit at 2B. They need a one-year option until Cole Young is ready, and Kim probably only wants to sign a one-year prove-it deal. Let him have a great year and cash in next winter.

Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
