Man I get the sentiment but big companies take an unbelievably long time to die. BlackBerry and Kodak still exist. AOL and Yahoo still exist. Myspace still exists.
How long did Sears take to die? 30 years?

but also, we don't need to replace the ~25% of everyday bats we had in September that we no longer have under contract.

Metal even supports ROA* target bidding, so this happens 100% automatically.
As a result, meta has no incentive to "serve" fake ads to fake users or include those users in metrics at all.

If the ads suddenly convert worse overnight, you'll just see lower bids for the same ads until equilibrium is restored.

If you add impressions that don't convert, the willingness to pay $/impression goes down, such that the $/conversion stays the same.
Put another way, as an advertiser if you sell a product that's $100 of profit, you'll buy any ads that cost less than ~$90 per purchase.

Won't matter for advertisers one way or another. The metrics that matter in advertising ($/conversion), especially on Facebook platforms where conversion tracking is so sophisticated, aren't really effected by adding low quality impressions to traffic.

I think the question is, if you need a start instead of bats, are there takers for your prospects (unlike getting bats apparently).
In other words how much would Skenes cost?

last week we got the All AL-West Squad, and you asked for more questions like that. So, the obvious follow up is? What are the rest of the All-Division squads (one a week?)

The July fiscal does a nice job of easing me into /confusing me about writing the next year.

If the Phillies want Logan Gilbert, what's a realistic offer if the M's can't just say "no offer"?
If I had a guess I'd make it a #fanfictionfriday.
I think a 3 team deal is probably the only way a Bohm to the M's deal gets done since both teams clearly want someone that makes them better now.

I think even if we don't land Roki, you might consider this deal if you can line up a deal for an arb or pre-arb #4/5 starter by moving a few top prospects.
