Yeah the fact that the Schwarber rumor was from Morosi makes it pretty safe to ignore

Re-reading, I'm processing that you're not saying that they won't do commitments of over 30M, but given that most FA starters are gonna get $18M/year or more I'm still pretty skeptical of their risk appetite!

I'm left wondering who they think they can get for that price or cheaper that they know better who isn't, like, a reunion with Jordan Hicks.

A) Scherzer
B) a big trade for a controllable arm (e.g. Ryan, Bubic, Lodolo)
C) a different NBP/KBO returner like Foster Griffin
D) magical thinking

MLBTR, which is generally pretty good with their estimates, had him at 2/22. I'd say 3/30 is pretty close to what should have been expected, especially after Cease set the market.

Fair fair, he's gotta want to play there too.

Yeah if there was one obvious ROI candidate who was gonna get less than $16-20M/year, it was Ponce.

Based on the Giants' stated priorities they should have been all over that.

Amen.

Unfortunately I don't think that word is in Fortune's style guide

I'm writing this down, but you can't get mad if I forget

(This is not limited to ASD/ADHD and also includes many physical disabilities, but it's the same principle.)

Different lens on this: Derek is doing the same "we didn't used to have all these autistic kids!" schtick as RFK/HHS and the anti-vaxxers. The understanding of and diagnostic criteria for ASD/ADHD have changed a lot in the last 20 years! There's not more people, they're just more correctly counted.

It's been reported he's planning to slim down maybe 10 lbs this offseason with the expectation/understanding that he'll see more 2B and less of the corners.

this Arendt quote gets at it too www.unpopularfront.news/p/yeah-what-...

Nelson's been self-serving since day one and won't let a setback like getting her clock cleaned stop her from playing through to the buzzer. Gotta respect the grit, a dyed-in-the-wool grinder.

Yeah, overexplained this elsewhere but throwing $700M (or whatever) at Webb, Chapman, Adames, and Devers and then dumpster diving for starting pitching for the next three years seems like committing to being a .500-ish team indefinitely.

they're calling it the most mid album cover of all time

also if I can Stoicism post just a bit: this is also what memento mori is for. you are going to die someday - do you really imagine than one of your regrets will be that you didn't organize more of your life around what random Redditors think is gay?
