I like this move for the DBacks. He was really helpful when Gabi was down and is a much better MLB backup than anyone in org
The Arizona Diamondbacks bring back valuable backup catcher James McCann, signing him to one year,$2.75 million contract.

Inspired by early scorebooks I found in my research, the Vintage scorecard design is now available for download (and custom books). I had so much fun figuring this system out and hope there's someone out there that will love this design.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Outside of not crossing picket lines, that's literally a peppermint chocolate milk?
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.

The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

Until owners open their books, the default assumption should be that they're making money hand over fist and they don't want the players to know it. And opening the books should mean cash flow statements for all affiliated entities, not just showing paper losses for the team.

It's so okay to play NYT games if you use adblock, don't share your scores, and leave the site without doing anything else. They don't earn money from that and you can still play connections

This is going to be a growing problem across all sports and I'm not sure any league has any real plans for dealing with the fallout.
Breaking news per Jeff Passan: “Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz have been indicted by prosecutors in Brooklyn on a host of charges related to a scheme to rig bets on pitches thrown in MLB games. Ortiz was arrested in Boston earlier today. Clase is not currently in custody”

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

I genuinely don't care if Roger Clemens used performance enhancing drugs. There's a reason it's called the "PED era."

I care about what he did to Mindy McCready. And with Clemens on the ballot for the Hall of Fame this winter, what he did to her is about to be whitewashed AGAIN.

Reminder to baseball fans: it's not your money. You gain nothing by your team cutting salary every year and attempting to get the sixth wild card by the slimmest margin possible. You don't have to defend these people, who are pocketing $$$ in real estate deals while using the other hand to cry poor.
