I'd be surprised if any of them are traded. My guess is we trade an outfielder if anything. We're not trading for 2018 Gerrit Cole this year.

No taste clause!!

I also doubt Carlos waives his no taste clause to go to the Pirates. He's not going anywhere.

I'm also of the mind that we have 5 infielders and 1 of them will always be injured.

Kind of hard when I live in Seattle and nobody is interested in talking about baseball with me in a rational way in my day to day life and they go out of their way to be assholes to Astros fans at games. Makes it hard to just say oh well.

Maybe if their fans didn't talk to us like we're the antichrist for being fans of the Astros they'd get some support.

This is the "I'm gonna check your genitals in my bathrooms to make sure you're not trans" gun nut who used Twitter to attack liberals right? Hard to run a business like that.

Never seen a business use their Twitter account to promote fascism as much as he did. Surprised people went in there.

It's been a rough playoffs to watch, but watching Springer do that to the Mariners feels really good

In normal times this interview would have ended Vance's career

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 3d

Vance is having an incredible morning on the Sunday shows doing "oh so now it's illegal to [mundane thing]?"

A real quote when Vance is asked about whether Tom Homan kept the $50,000 he got in a fast food bag: "Is it illegal to take a payment for doing services?"
