If your claim to fame is trading Scott Kazmir for Victor Zambrano, you probably shouldn’t be allowed to make hypothetical trades.

Based on those released emails, man, some people suck at writing. Sentences are a thing. Punctuation is a thing. I get you're all busy doing crimes, but take some pride in your writing.
If I got any of those messages, my first instinct would be to reply "rewrite this like a grown-up."

BRING BACK CHANNEL NUMBERS!
I wrote about how YouTubeTV and others have rewired how we watch TV.
Without channel numbers, we don't flip as easily, which means more ads, reliance on algo based suggested tiles, and we don't realize when channels go dark.

Boras’ pun game has been slipping for awhile now, it’s always sad to see legends lose their fastball. He used to be entertaining, now all he does is Bor-us
Boras on Bregman in Boston: “Nobody wants a Bregs-it.” He then weaved a lengthy explanation about Dunkin and Starbucks into his description of Bregman providing the right blend in “Beantown.”

So glad @alexkirshner.com is on this one. Rodney Peete talked at length on 570AM the other day specifically about prop bets being an easy way to tip out your inner circle without it costing you a nickel. And that they are the biggest problem in the betting universe.

This remains one of the most impressive athletic feats ever.
"The Wingmen" by Adam Lazarus is an excellent account of Ted's time in Korea flying with John Glenn. It's amazing that Ted was an All-Star in '51 then flew combat missions in 52-53 before coming back to hit .345/.513/.635 in '54 at the age of 35.
