They're not the only one. MLBTR says that because of the luxury tax and a bonus he gets if he opts out (!), Bo Bichette could cost the Mets $97 million for just this season.

You're right. It's not a terrible place to play.

I agree that Bassitt is not a premier free agent and he will not get nine figures. I also believe if hypothetically the Tigers offered him 2/30 and any of the usual suspects offered him 2/28, he'd take the 2/28. I think in a case like that, we'd have to go way bigger, something like 2/35 or better, to win him.

Nah, red hats can whatabout their way past anything you throw at them.

Maybe he's talking abut his friend John Barron?

That's because they think they win under fascism.

I wouldn't want us to forego the 2026 playoffs because we are big mad at Boras and Skubal.

Just about every good player who has options to sign with any of the top eight teams in baseball, yes, I do.

I'm not at all saying I would not want to sign Bassitt, but I will say I think the Tigers won't sign Bassitt and that Bassitt probably wouldn't choose to come here, unless his market dries up.

If only we could win with facts.

Maybe we need a way to figure out how to co-opt that flag from the right. How about anti-ICE and No Kings protesters showing up en masse with Gadsden flags? After all, if anyone is being trod on, it's them. The right wing co-opts things from liberals all the time. They took a great word for a great concept, "woke", and turned it into a dirty word. That's only one example. No reason why we couldn't do that with that stupid ****ing flag.

This seems like a really good exercise to critique and hone students’ approaches to critical thinking and rhetoric.

Yeah, this is one of THE most egregious

And the flag, since this is how they want to make America great again.

The players are telling us that at this time, they want money now over years later. No one knows whether they’ll be earning any income next year at all, and beyond that, what anything will look like under the new CBA.

Maybe. I think it’s not a bad bet that one of those six will be better than Bassitt, though. Melton may be the best bet, Olson if he can stay heathy, Anderson as a wild card, SGL as a dark horse.

Except they’ll make more.

How do they relate?

Sure, why not? Who wouldn’t want to win multiple rings with a superteam?

Nobody has enough.

AI's is not to reason why, AI's is to do and comply.

Maybe if we show Trump this, he'll stop caring about Greenland and Canada. 😁
