Looks like the Cubs used the extra $250K in IFA pool money they got from Houston to sign Bryant Ciriaco. www.instagram.com/p/DSKzMQMkcq...

None of this would have happened if Donald had just been given more participation trophies as a child.
this shit is just beyond parody, man

Astros getting a good one.
Zeglin was already arguably the most dominant pitcher in minor league baseball last season (min 60 IP):

“Stop resisting”
Q: What did you see in the second strike?

Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

Markwayne Mullin on healthcare: "What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself -- you don't smoke, you don't dip, you're not drinking, you're not overweight, you're working out -- then you should pay less than the guy that obviously is not taking care of himself."

Wow, unusual to have three cousins on the same roster.
Yankee non-tenders: Cousins, Effross, Hamilton, Leiter Jr.

This guy nailed it.
Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.
Trump says he’s meeting with “communist” Mamdani at the White House on Friday

Sorry Ms. Jackson, I’m traded for Eeles.
Twins acquired catcher Alex Jackson from the Orioles for infield prospect Payton Eeles.

Jackson is 29 and a career .153 hitter in 160 big-league games. He's eligible for arbitration, with a projected $1.8 million salary.

Jackson is presumably the Christian Vázquez replacement.

I’d never heard of these Nuzzi and Lizza people before today. That’s way too many Zs for me to be certain you all aren’t just making them up.

I don't think JD’s ever done Ibuprofen. I don't know if anyone's ever offered him any.
JD Vance calls ibuprofen "useless medication" and implies it's not "necessary, safe and effective."

What if you can always see auroras through your iPhone camera but nobody ever checks unless there is a big solar flare happening.

Whenever I get asked to take a short survey from MLB, I jump at the chance to answer it in part because one of the questions is about gambling stuff on broadcasts. Don’t think they really care what I think, but maybe if enough people say it…

Oh, Trump was 100% on the ballot last night.
Trump to Republican senators: "I thought we'd have a discussion after the press leaves about what last night represented and what we should do about it and also about the shutdown and how that relates to last night. If you read the pollsters, the shutdown was a big factor, negative for Republicans."
