    2/13 @ Brooklyn

    Yeah what do you want him to say? "Goddamn, Andy, I didn't know you spent time at the Stallion! Gonna spend a looooong time in the hospital with those lesions" It's not what you want to hear.

    Shohei Ohtani is an LA Dodger: 10 years/$700 million

    Shohei Ohtani is an LA Dodger: 10 years/$700 million

    Would you ask the same question if it were a straight 10/$460 deal? Financially, it's more or less equivalent. It's not like they're not going to account for the future payments and just hope their cash flow allows them to cut the checks.

    Immaculate Grid: Show Off Your Useless Baseball Depth Knowledge!

    It does make sense in some ways, but not in others--if it's a career milestone, you can provide any of the teams, not just the one the player accomplished the milestone with.

    The Ringer

    I like her podcast Bandsplain, especially if it’s a good story and a good guest. But her style may be an acquired taste.
