I bought a 45 gallon drum of that pink popcorn two years ago, still have about half of it.  That and some PBR and we should be all set. You need to be double vaxxed to cross the border.  When you get to my house, park at the church around the corner.  They don't like it, but what can they do?  They can't do nothing.

Bigglesworth peed in the parking lot last year.  That was embarrassing, which I think is part of the reason he never comes here anymore.  You can't really fault him though.  The Rule V can cause one to get unduly excited.

We know, that's why the Rule V party has always started before sunrise.

That parking lot is full of needles and condoms.

Uromysitisis poisoning is a very serious condition that must be avoided.

So assuming we get the same comp pick as last year that would mean our 2nd round pick which would be around 50th overall I'm guessing.

Our comp pick this year will be after the 2nd round - they rotate every other year for the teams that qualify and under the current system I believe we cannot lose our comp pick, so the lost pick would be our 3rd round pick.

Yet another talent we raided from the Dodgers.

Nice.

Don't bother guessing until the new CBA is born.

In 1960 the Yankees out scored the Pirates 55-27 but lost 3 games to 4

Charlie Morton is a free agent after this season.  Just for whatever its worth.

[casimir]

Crud.  I should have done it this way:

Anyone interested in the Tigers acquiring this resume?

There's been plenty of banter about Verlander being brought back and, to a much lesser degree, Scherzer.  I don't recall anyone bringing up Morton, who might be a better fit since the price tag likely won't be as exorbitant and he could still fill a pretty significant hole for the Tigers.

How long will Morton's injury sideline him? That'd be my only concern

[shorts]

Morton isn't a free agent, he signed an extension in September.

[1776]

Supposedly he’ll be ready to go for spring training (whenever that is) according to comments made after his injury was diagnosed.

Yes, I see it on Cots now.  I was looking at bbref earlier and it doesn't have the 2022 standard extension & 2023 club option (no buyout) noted.
