Patriots are the cheapest team in pro sports and it’s not close. You had all summer to pay Gonzalez. What a pathetic front office. Valuation vs Active Cash Spending. Love watching us mistreat generational players

ESPN founder Bill Rasmussen, whose out-of-the-box idea of a 24-hour cable sports network forever changed the landscape of sports media, died today at the age of 93. A game-changer for the ages. Thank you for everything, Bill ❤️

Well well looks like there’s a new face on the Nationals trade block

“I didn't vote for this!” Yes you did. You just voted for it to happen to someone else. Not you.
Texas businessman John Gannon says he regrets voting for Trump after his Venezuelan fiancée was detained by ICE: “Nothing like this has ever happened to me… This is like the Gestapo. I never thought the US would act this way.”

Hey @Roto_Frank the IL Player of the Month for July heard you guys writing him off. In all seriousness though shouldn’t there be a tinge of optimism for a guy who last year was the #4 prospect according to BA?
Kristian Campbell smokes an RBI-double (100.2 MPH exit velo). That’s a 20-game on-base streak. He has 15 doubles and 35 RBI this season.

I am in awe of how many people would prefer to hold prospects and not build on winning.

Yankees equivalent prospect value would be Lombard and Elmer and cashman would never have the plums
According to MLB Pipeline, the Dodgers traded their #5 prospect, #7 prospect, and #17 prospect for Tarik Skubal. What an absolute no-brainer for LA. Good lord they won’t even feel this

They included Price who had 3 years 100 mill left & we ate half of that. They’d have easily gotten more for Betts if they weren’t trying to dump Price’s deal. And if they said it was decided pre-2019 season RIGHT AFTER THEY WON THE WS & THE MVP SEASON HE HAD?
