#BlueJays announce that David Bell is their new VP of Baseball Ops and Assistant GM.
Here’s how the club explains his role:
Yes Korean baseball fans rule, but how did the Korean baseball fans become so nationalistic Jon?
Was it forcibly baked-in by a US backed military junta leader who needed a nationalistic pastime to placate the population while he suppressed (murdered) the democracy movement?
Korean baseball fans are some of the most supportive I’ve seen — in any sport, anywhere in the world.
Before national team games, they bring KBO club jerseys and display them together in the cheering section.

So this may be the dumbest/funniest moment in the history of our show.

I could write a 5,000 word essay about this but suffice it to say, dude is not wrong at all!

Remembrance Day tomorrow. Hank Thompson was many things in his life including a WW2 vet & a trailblazing black baseball player. His life was not perfect but he served his country dutifully and fought courageously in the battle of the bulge. Thanks Hank!

Ross Atkins on the #BlueJays adding a catcher (via our @MLBastian):
“Not a priority for us. If we were, in an ideal world, it would be a left-handed hitting, polished receiver. Those guys are either locked up or valuable to other teams. We feel good about the options we have.”

The other problem here is that it's just widely known and accepted that the Padres had an agreement with someone who was believed to be 14 when the rule is supposed to be 16.

Another sad element of all of this. The A’s can’t find anyone who wants to play for them next year, so they have to bring in players who don’t have a choice.
With the difficulty of trying to sign free agents to play in Sacramento, A's are looking at the trade market to improve their roster after posting winning record in second half. Here's the insight in advance of next week's GM meetings: sfchronicle.com/sports/athle… via @sfchronicle
This is some unhinged shit. It’s a secret plan everyone! A secret plan to give people shelter. How dare they not ask her first! She’s on @TSN_Sports
The councillor for the area, @ParthiKandavel was just as surprised as the community to learn of the city’s plan. There has been NO communication with the neighbourhood. No risk assessment. In fact, the whole thing is a SECRET!
