I am on BlueSky. I do not know if I will use BlueSky. But I am on it:

Do what you wish with this very critical information.
His entire political identity is acting like an insecure asshole who bullied freshmen in high school
Also marvel at this charisma-devoid fucking loser doing everything he can to be the anthesis of the “Christian values” he shoves down everyone’s throats
Fuck off, @JDVance
.@VP JD Vance implies U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico (D-TX) is gay: "I love you too, sir. In a totally platonic way, to be clear. I'm the Vice President, not James Talarico."
Source: Casey Lawrence exercised an opt-out in his #Mariners minor league deal and is now a free agent.
38-year-old RHP has a 4.37 ERA (14.4 K%, 3.5 BB%, 46.1 GB%). Leads minor leagues with 131.2 IP this season.
This decision unfortunately seems to make a lot more sense now 🫤
“Just need to play .700 ball and we’re in” is some Dick Monfort-level insanity out of Rubenstein.
Whoa whoa whoa wait — you’re allowed to do that?! I thought that was banned or something on this site.
This was the best GIF I could find for “sad wolf” … it’ll do.
LeBron James To Sign With Sixers hoopsrumors.com/2026/07/lebr…
Would not say it’s “impossible” at all for Tigers to add, keep Skubal and dip under the tax line. They’d just need to trade some vets away (Jansen, Finnegan) and pay higher prospect cost for trade partners to pay down salary on acquisitions.
Can the #Tigers keep Tarik Skubal and buy at the trade deadline?
The luxury tax changes everything.
Here's what to know: youtu.be/wqD_tUHQwhw?is=EW6r…
It’s a fine line to walk, and not an easy one. But it’s plenty doable. Wrote extensively about this here a couple days ago:

Excited to add this tool and the expertise of @EthanHullihen to our offerings. Ethan is the best in the industry at payroll tracking/analysis and offers accuracy that is basically unmatched in the public sphere.

Manfred is correct that a large majority of draftees come from college, but a lot of that 70-75% is underslot lower-ceiling guys so teams can attempt to sign as many high school guys as possible without going over spending limits. Teams would probably love to sign more preps!
Nine of the top 40 players in baseball right now, per FanGraphs WAR, were college draftees.
Sixteen were high school, including each of the top three (PCA, Witt, Wood).
(Lots of international FAs — another area the league wants to restrict — making up the difference)
Jake Woodford triggered an opt-out in his minor league deal with the #Brewers, who now have 72 hours to add him to the roster or grant him his release.
What kind of sociopathic fucking loser do you need to be to even think this? Genuinely, fuck every ounce the soulless husk of flesh you call a body.
If anyone needs to be removed from this country, it’s you.🖕🏻

The league's approach to this round of negotiations is to propose a bunch of ideas that aren't even counterable. This isn't a "bad" strategy, given their goals.
A typical negotiation will end at a mid-point between the opening positions.
This will not be a typical negotiation.
So the league is just going to make an insane nonstarter every week to keep waging the PR war? This won’t get old at all
Also love that eliminating deferred money here is somehow presented as a win for players? 🙄 More pandering to win the PR war.
Major League Baseball today said that *if the players accept a salary cap* it would:
• Make the minimum salary $1 mil for players w/at least 2 years of service time; $900K with potential for $100K more for players w/0-1 yrs of service
• Eliminate qualifying offers
• Eliminate deferred salary for future contracts
• No change to arb process
