See a lot of bad data on how much payroll space Cleveland has. Yes they don't have a ton of guaranteed contracts but still have 40 guys on the 40 man and that all adds up. If no Clase or Ortiz and if they keep everyone they have now I have them at 64 mil.

Guardians are on their second attempt at being sold. When Sherman got a chance to buy the Royals he pivoted and the Guardians struggled to find someone else who wanted minority ownership they were stuck in an escrow deal for a few years

Also don't people realize there is a deal in place to sell this team it's up to the minority ownership group if they want to or view it worth the investment when compared to other franchise they might have to sell off to fully buy the team

Something I missed terribly on, if you go check out the Naylor trade live stream, was calling the return small. As I got more info I changed my tune. Not bad to get your game 3 elimination game starter for 6 years and a pick.

I know a ton of great Tigers fans and many of my family are them, but man more swearing, racist statements, and attacks showing up in our comments from a small sub set of Tigers fans than the other 29 teams combined. Deleted near a dozen this morning. Most weeks we get 1.

Watching last night's games, I was reminded of this research I published last year, suggesting that teams' increasingly aggressive bullpen usage was backfiring as managers overwork and overexpose their best relievers.
Letting Garrett Crochet throw a career-high 117 pitches is one way to avoid this!

Weirdly have become a Noel defender the past 24 hours. Not because I think he should be on the team but just trying to explain the logic of choices. I might not agree with choices but trying to explain those choices has made a lot of people mad.

I really find it disheartening the every rising number of insults we get with the show. Not due to the increased amount that is a good thing as it shows a larger reach. More that there is no originality just the same few tired comments.

Nice job getting another reliever in, Royals facing a potential bullpen game tomorrow. Great job by Hedges, Kwan, and Angel

Noah Cameron huge performance for KC after Cleveland got to the pen last night and a potential pen game tomorrow. He might have saved the series for them even in a potential losing situation currently though this game is far far from over

Cantillo has a chance for a Maddex a day after Cecconi had a no hitter bid when the team is basically in playoff mode every single day. Just nails performances for these young arms
