Correct, eclipses Abreu in total money by $5M.

My hot take is there are too many uniforms.

Worst thing is that it doesnt seem like his sons are deviating much from his path. Hopefully its like the Bill/Rocky Wirtz relationship where he abided by his father's outdated wishes until he passed and then completely overhauled the organization. Or it can be an Al Davis/Mark Davis situation wher...

Fun fact, the 2019 Brewers went 10-for-53 against Yu Darvish. Maybe you could use a little help.

This could be awesome.

It's already been posted to the Dodgers' Reddit page: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dodgers/commen ... he_astros/

Lots of interesting thoughts in there.

Yes it's quite simple to draft a player who will win a league MVP award within 40 months of being drafted.

In retrospect it's hard to believe no one caught this earlier. It's so obvious.

Ok Mike, now tell us how their pitchers are cheating also. Yeah, I would be interested in a follow-up to see if they can get anyone to talk about Trevor Bauer's accusations (and his attempt to prove them by doing whatever he did in the first inning of a start once). https://twitter.com/MLBastian/st...

Yeah, if he's really willing to do that there's no reason at all not to.

Gee, I'm stunned, all indications up to this point had them being an upstanding and virtuous organization.

Brady Quinn has me blocked. I have absolutely no idea why because he's my favorite college football player of all time and I've never communicated with him or said anything remotely negative about him on Twitter. If anyone else famous has me blocked I'm unaware of it.

This has been one of the best regular season weeks in the NFL in a very long time. Lots of great, well-played games.

That's right! IU is ranked for the first time since 1994. It was far and away the longest drought in the Power 5, and it's over.

Considering the circumstances that have come together to backdoor Bama into the BCS title game/playoff this decade, I'm not gonna believe they're out until they announce the field.

They SHOULD be out barring help, but we know how the committee loves their eye test.

Chase Young sitting out this week for Ohio State for, in his words, accepting a loan from someone he claims was a family friend in 2018.

Just make sure Young doesn't come near Derrek Lee.

Sahadev Sharma has a new article in the Athletic this morning about the Cubs' direction this winter. Basically he says to expect the team to not make any big FA moves, but that they're not broke like they were last year.
