That was my guess when Trump changed his mind. Occam's razor really.

Can't edit for some reason, but Lange's day of reckoning is actually tomorrow. I forgot to mention the Gleyber QO. And finally, injured players can be outrighted today, but cannot be from today until March.

Gonna be some transactions tomorrow... Alex Lange's 7 day DFA window is up. It's the 40-man roster deadline. Because the non-tender deadline is Friday, a lot of non-tenders just get DFA'ed tomorrow to jump the gun. Even some non-arb guys may be chopped. Note: anybody injured or anybody selected to the 40-man after August 15 can't be outrighted, so they may be prime non-tender candidates. Teams like non-tendering, because you can just agree to a minor league deal and not risk losing guys to waivers. It also doesn't count as a release, which is significant because players released after Labor Day can't be added back to your major league roster until May. We might get a guy or two on the non-tender bubble avoiding arbitration.

Amateurs trying to prosecute elite career prosecutors is going about as well as one would imagine.

I am sad I missed out on a lot of the nitty gritty talk last week. I probably won't have much nerd time until after Christmas though 😀

Did Longenhagen's roster crunch post make it in here? https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2025-american-league-40-man-roster-crunch-analysis/ Trevin Michael wasn't on my Rule 5 protection radar.

Atlanta Airport yesterday, there was a mother carrying her baby and a bag rushing to get to her connection using the moving sidewalk in lieu of the train to avoid somebody bumping into her baby. On the moving sidewalk was a woman standing still leaning against one side with her bag intentionally blocking the sidewalk. As I walked by the mother off the moving sidewalk, I shook my head and we shared the same pet peeve at that moment.

I assume people know that MRI's are often used to confirm dementia. It is a very difficult condition to diagnose, and the MRI is the last and most invasive step after ruling several other things out. Or maybe he needs Tommy John...

Hah, I read this between bench press sets.

Oh, I'm not defending him... I'm just saying these people who were still buddy buddy with him later on are scum.

Coming up on year four of the Harris regime and we are still assuming just nine regular position players?

Say what you will about Trump. At least at some point he cut off communication. What about all these other people knowingly palling around with a registered sex offender after 2008? They all look absolutely terrible in these emails.

There is a fascinating thing people here do, and that is projecting their opinion on Scott Harris. e.g. "I think Harris would like (player I like)." It is kinda funny once you see it once, like the beat guys loving on former Tigers.

I thought the timing had to do with the imminent swearing in of the AZ rep.

I think grains of salt need to be taken with any email from Epstein. He's not the most credible person.

That was my #1 nugget gleaned from those emails.

It does, which supports my point.

Social media feeds going algorithm based and raking in ad revenue from pumping rage bait into feeds and sending us to our echo chambers. Twitter's IPO was November 2013. That is around the time the toxic en****ification of social media commenced.

My fiscal conservative roots take over when I hear about things like 50 year mortgages and crypto deregulation. Not for me, but if people want to be stupid and partake, it is their funeral.

Kenny is doing the game, and I wouldn't rule out Marv being in there.

He likes the tax breaks. I watched the first episode, and I think I'm in for the rest. 100% on RT right now too.

Lest I add a parent to this thread, because that is not the point of this thread and those close to me were already aware of that battle (hence my taking some of the jabs at dementia personally in the political threads), but I wanted to share this observation. When you lose a parent the same day as a Vice President dies, it is pretty cool to think the half staffed flags are for your mother.

Dems rejected that proposal because it would result in several people losing health care benefits come January 1.
