    2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS

    The irony of all this is that Cousins was on the Penix side of the equation when he was drafted by Washington in 2012. RGIII was drafted 2nd overall and people were puzzled that they would also bring in Cousins in the same draft, when they already had their QB1. Ironically, Cousins has gone on...

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    Well, we've definitely all seen a lot of swings from him, since he swings at everything. I'm kind of with @MikeM on this one, but I would be glad to be proven wrong and for Rafaela to bring his bat up to par with his incredible defense.

    Those highlights were a thing of beauty. The only thing that would've made them better was someone karate chopping Draymond in the face.

    Offseason rumors

    Restraint is all well and good, but then what's the point of paying 2/$38.5M for Lucas Giolito and his 4.88 ERA/5.27 FIP? I get that he's an innings-eater, but that's small consolation when the innings being eaten are barely above replacement level. For that level of production, I'd rather...

    Offseason rumors

    I say we go all in. Jettison Trevor Story and Connor Wong and let's see if we can assemble the worst fielding team in history.

    Seriously, I've been following SGA's ascension in daily box scores, but watching him over the course of an entire game ... he's fantastic.

    Year Two Yoshida

    YMMV, I guess, but if $18M is the going rate for 0.6 WAR these days, then the economics of baseball really are broken. And on the subject of redundancy, how about getting exactly the same 0.6 WAR from a late-promoted minor league outfielder in 495 fewer plate appearances?

    Offseason rumors

    Worst case: repeating the Yoshida mistake and signing yet another mediocre/redundant OF (Teoscar) for $18M per, money that could be spent on a pitcher Best case: giving up on the Houck as starter experiment, putting him in as closer (or 8th inning guy, with Martin as closer), and getting...

    Offseason rumors

    Maybe a little off-topic, but Mookie Betts will be the Dodgers' everyday 2B next season.

    Justin Turner declines option (11.03.23 update)

    This might be an unpopular opinion, but the elephant in the room is that we really don't need Yoshida on this roster and probably would've been better off without him. His good-not-great offense and bad defense mean that we've got four more years committed to a DH-in-waiting, when Turner is...
