That's not really saying much. The guys currently signed for 2020 + arb guys would be top 3, with a shot at 1 depending on how serious the Yankees and Red Sox are at resetting their tax penalties. Yeah, it's saying essentially nothing. All he's saying is that we're not outright slashing payroll, wh...

does this have nothing to do with getting Hoerner eligible for playoffs? It appears that was probably the main reason. A player who doesn't meet said criteria for postseason eligibility can still be added to a team's roster in the postseason via petition to the Commissioner's Office if the player w...

Cam didn't practice today and is day-to-day, apparently he aggravated his foot Thursday.

Maybe there will soon be a new entrant in the Tua Tagavailoa derby.

Colorado passed a referendum doing exactly that last election.

Michigan did too.

I guess only programs with rapists and statues of rape enablers rebuild. Is it your posiotion that Derwood (and Truffle) are not allowed to express any opinion about anything in college football for the rest of their lives without getting this crap lobbed at them? Because that was a complete non se...

Everyone gets two byes because of the way the calendar falls. Penn State gets another one Nov. 2.

I'm already bracing for the worst Saturday night. Not super confident at all in a Brian Kelly-coached team against an elite opponent.

Top 25 games ------------------------------ Charlotte at (1) Clemson (7:30 pm, ACC Network) Southern Miss at (2) Alabama (12 pm, ESPN2) (7) Notre Dame at (3) Georgia (8 pm, CBS) (4) LSU at Vanderbilt (12 pm, SEC Network) Miami (OH) at (6) Ohio State (3:30 pm, BTN) (8) Auburn at (17) Texas A&M (3...

Illinois losing to Eastern Michigan at home. Time to rebuild again (should've been last year) Can't rebuild when you were never built I guess only programs with rapists and statues of rape enablers rebuild. Is it your position that Derwood (and Truffle) are not allowed to express any opinion about ...

He just seems like the kind of guy that is going to heavily (Dusty level) favor some players over others, and not necessarily based on talent. I base this solely on the ~100 or so words I've heard him speak. My main concern with him is that he is way to buddy buddy with Rizzo and Lester. Would Ross...

Major props to whoever dug up a picture of him looking orange while standing outside to run with this Tweet.

How does Ross come off on commentary does he fly the huge red flags that Sandberg did in his Yahoo articles? I still think it takes an offer he can't refuse to go back to a full time baseball schedule, and I'm skeptical that offer would come. I haven't listened to much of Ross, but when I have, he'...

Cam Newton is just done, and it makes me sad.

I just went back through the thread from the Cubs getting Davis and I forgot how many people were at best lukewarm on that deal, although a lot of that came from health concerns that we were fortunate enough to largely avoid. TT made a comment about not liking to pay $10 million for a year of a clos...

Remember, everything that worked out is good on its face, and everything bad made sense at the time so how can you criticize them now? Trading a surplus outfielder for a badass closer is what teams in contention windows do. It sucks that Soler went on to hit 40 HRs, but as has already been pointed ...

If anyone can give me some info that Theo could've gotten Chapman without trading Gleyber, then I will begin shredding him for giving up Gleyber. Until then I can't and won't. I'm also not gonna fault him for the Soler/Davis trade. It made perfect sense to use a surplus guy with no everyday spot to ...

That's how Len said it and he's usually on the ball there. I think you're safe.

Got an email from Equifax today basically asking, "are you SURE you want the money," which is now very pointedly listed as "up to $125." If you still want that, you need to verify which credit monitoring service you had at the time. Otherwise you can just amend your claim to get...

This is basically a desperation move but what the hell, could be fun.

Top 25 games ------------------------------ (1) Clemson at Syracuse (7:30 pm, ABC) (2) Alabama at South Carolina (3:30 pm, CBS) Arkansas State at (3) Georgia (12 pm, ESPN2) Northwestern State at (4) LSU (7:30 pm, SEC Network) (5) Oklahoma at UCLA (8 pm, FOX) (6) Ohio State at Indiana (12 pm, FOX) Ne...

Just another year where Carolina is going to be a nonfactor but just good enough to keep making me mad into December and not get a good draft pick.

Drop Javy, add Gleyber. I'm assuming that doesn't put me over the cap

Brown signs with NE, of course he does. Well I was wrong. What are the odds this helmet stuff was pure BS? Like there’s a decent chance he never wanted to go to the Raiders but he knew Pittsburgh wouldn’t trade him somewhere he wanted to go (like NE). So he signs the big deal, makes a huge fuss out...
