That Ortiz and Clase reportedly received the EXACT same dollar amount from fixers — in 2025! — as Shoeless Joe Jackson and Lefty Williams did in 1919 is … completely absurd. And another reason why player salaries have very little to do with why these gambling scandals happen.

One last Sharon Begley byline. RIP to a fantastic science writer.
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.

After @mandophotos.bsky.social photographed federal agents pointing rifles at 26th/Lawndale yesterday, I inquired with DHS about what threat had prompted them to pull weapons on a busy commercial strip (pictured). This is the response I got from a representative of the United States government.

First place I saw Vlad Jr. play. He was monster-sized even at 19.
Arizona Fall League is the very best place to watch baseball. A beautiful park, not a cloud in the sky, nobody else around except a dozen scouts — and a bunch of extremely talented players who will be big stars in about 4 years.
