I'd love to know who Baltimore were actually negotiating against to give a contract larger than Schwarber's!
The Red Sox offered Alonso fewer years and "significantly less" money than the Orioles, according to Tim Healey

they traded Nimmo for a comparable value player who fit much better and directly swapped Diaz for a comparable value reliever and also it's fucking December 10th
Sorry I will do it someplace else. And yes it is early in the off season with lots of players available. It just seems like a tear down without much of a build up at the moment.

This is genuinely where I completely detach with American sports fandom. There's more blood letting over Brandon Nimmo than half of Liverpool's 19-20 title core! I want to ruthlessly win, I wish Alonso/Nimmo would have done it. Get gone and go again, to actually get there
Everyone remembers that the Mets won 83 games last season, right? And missed the playoffs? That's the team you want to run back?

I’m not saying it’s wise and I’m not saying it’s going to work out but it’s pretty obvious all the “Fans will revolt if the Mets don’t bring back X!” stuff doesn’t matter to the FO, and their basic mentality is:

"Not making an offer" is just totally irrelevant to me. People think that's the same thing as "didn't discuss a deal," and it just isn't.

the Mets have advanced past the wild card round once in the last decade, did you think they were going to give out huge contracts to lock in the aging core of their 83 win juggernaut here?
Whatever you say though, at this rate it’s going to be long season next year

Labour’s shift away from “immigration is good but it needs to be managed” to “it is bad” is a gift to essentially everyone they compete with, because it means that they don’t have the right position to be able to attack *anyone*.
I'm sorry, but these attacks are just not going to convince Green-curious voters, because Labour is so visibly out of step with those voters' core values
This by @umakumaran.bsky.social is good - and a example of exactly how Labour should be taking on the Greens; on values, direct and on Labour territory. Taking them seriously.

btw the reason that transphobia is such a good canary in the coal mine for other rancid views is that transphobia is essentially a conspiracy theory and, via crank magnetism, once you accept its basic tenets you’re going to be open to a lot more
i hope we all noticed how quickly we went from ‘record all offenders by assigned sex at birth’ to ‘report on the ethnicity of all offenders’

Interesting that the BBC will call National Rally "Far Right" (in an article about Bardella meeting Farage) - when they would never use that term for Reform. Their policies are very similar. If anything Reform's are more authoritarian.

I think this is the right policy, but I am perplexed as to why Rachel Reeves thinks it is the right policy for London, but 'why don't we have less investment in exchange for a freeze' is a *good* policy for the rest of England, where the railways need more investment to start with?

My rule of thumb is that any illness that's:

- chronic
- unpredictable
- hard to test
- culturally new
- requires employer adjustments, and /or
- welfare support
Will be attacked as illegitimate by conservatives.
Claim's of "over-diagnosis" are tactic a of delegitimation.
