yes my bad. Very cool didn't know that was being built. Wish it made sense to do the empire builder amtrak but that's quite a ways off. Big road trip!

An agreement between the Yankee Global Enterprises and Apollo Global Management will see the MLB team receive $2.6 billion from Apollo's sports investment side. The deal will allow the New York Yankees to refinance existing debt while also enabling them to pursue growth opportunities. The Steinbrenner family will continue to have full control of the franchise with Hal Steinbrenner staying on in his role as managing general partner. The Yankees are the most valuable franchise in MLB with recent valuations from Forbes and CNBC ranging from $8.5 billion and $9 billion, respectively. yahoo.com/sports Tray...? PE investment. Good or bad for baseball? Why/why not?

I think 5-10% of Chicagoans would recognize Shohei Ohtani. Probably closer to .5-1% for Sam.

His OPS against lefties this year is 100 points higher than Acuna

Curious to see this now. When you say interactive do you mean digital? I have hated the primary digital museums (see the emigration museum in dublin, which feels like it could be anywhere), but small things to participate (the typewriters at the american writers museum) do a bunch.

He's a nice utility guy for sure. I don't think he moves the needle much, probably more than Acuña, but the potential ceiling is lower. I'd give Acuña another spring training at the very least.

Watched an interview with Rick Ankiel a couple days ago. He seemed interested in talking about his anxiety and even how he tried taking shots before a game to try to settle himself. Didn't work (it never does). Hope for Oppor's sake it's a mechanic thing and not a psychological one. The former seems easier to correct and probably less impactful on his day-to-day life outside of sports. Also, reminded me Roger Angell's essay on Steve Blass. Very much worth reading if you never have: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1975/06/23/down-the-drain

https://www.museucr7.com/ Christiano Ronaldo museum (museo/musee) closes (cerrado) in 15 minutes (quince minutos en espanol, mas o menos similar con Portuguesa)

Hes probably a bit better than Acuna albeit not saying much.

Dump Acuna after all this time??? He's at least over a 600 ops, right?

Good idea for PCA!!!...Vargas has the distinctive hair, but just wonder how many Chicagoans would recognize Sam on the street? 5-10% maybe?

Capeshit, objectively lame. That's OK, still cool guys. Good baseball players anyway.

Is that comparable to the Anti Anti Social Club?

MILB contract? Otherwise, who gets kicked off the MLB roster, Acuña DFA? Seems pointless.

Man, does Getz love speedy defenders that can’t hit.

Also, not sure who was sitting in the car with their phone on the lap but that phone has seen better days lol

That sounds like a cool ass museum.

lol. Time difference has been weird. Portugal today

I get it. The joke here is because all of the actors/actress are in both The Odyssey AND the new Spiderman

Thank you caulfield. I've been enjoying your posts lately too. You think Devil's Advocate Ron is good, wait until you see Devil's Advocate WestEddy.

IIRC when the Orioles had their little turnaround a few years back, the Sox played them earlier in the season and Mateo kicked their asses pretty much by himself

more like Basabe's weakest brother in Moncada Kopech and Victor Diaz deal lol 5-10% of that trade 40% Teel 35% Braden 20% Meidroth 5% Gonzalez
