There are many people who truly believe Biden was President in 2020, because “Biden = bad” and “2020 = bad” and Trump and company keep hammering it

Conspiracy theory brain has me thinking they didn’t name Cal Raleigh a Gold Glove finalist to weaken his defensive argument for MVP. “Look, his defense took a step back this season he wasn’t even a finalist”

Floor would also help those mid tier free agents that don’t get mega deals but also aren’t young and cost controlled, IMO

My most controversial baseball take on bsky is that a cap (with a floor) would be good for baseball. Boy howdy do some people on here hate that idea. But as you said “just spend more!” doesn’t work anymore

To be fair this absolutely tracks with what we know of his ending here in St. Louis

It’s Heyman so grain of salt

Mike Shildt's surprise departure from the Padres was announced as a "retirement," and team personnel are insisting it was Shildt's call to exit after feeling "worn down." However, it was hard to see him lasting in that role considering his very poor relationship with some of his coaches.
Sources suggest one of the coaches was recently so upset after feeling insulted by Shildt that a fight nearly broke out. Shildt gained a rep as blunt and temperamental in St.
Louis, where he was fired after an excellent season. In St. Louis, the feeling was he didn't treat the support staff appropriately. So the situation is somewhat similar.

It’s cool and good for the game that the Dodgers can sleep walk to 90-95 wins, get to the playoffs, say “it’s time to actually perform now,” and simply march through the whole thing. Love that for the sport

Well now, would you look at that?
