All three Marrone males have their own farms. Dad’s is a thriving, end-game affair. Jacob’s is, well, bounding with potential. Peter’s is a total mess.

Brad Doolittle broke the #Dodgers in two — to see if BOTH squads would make playoffs. A super fun piece today @espntr.bsky.social www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...
Are the Dodgers two playoff teams in one? We split them in half to find out
We kept one part of MLB's superteam in L.A. -- and moved the rest to Brooklyn. Would the Los Angeles Dodgers and Brooklyn Trolleys BOTH rule baseball?

Incidentally, this was the first Unwinnable column I read to my kids that totally cracked them up. I had to read it to them three times.
