and they lost 39-36 in OT. Largest comeback ever.

Unbelievable. Colts had a 33-0 halftime lead and are now going to OT at MIN tied at 36.

I don't think they'd allow themselves to go over their budget. They can either sustain the payroll as is or they have a deal already in place or at least very very close.

If anyone takes even close to half of Kelly's deal you send him packking.

Work complete

I'll say 4 years at $15.5M per year with a $5M buyout of a 5th year option.

Oscar on the coke cups at the concession stand seems like a no brainer.

That's a really bad bullpen.

I have a cousin whose grandparents have a winter place a little south of Daytona Beach. A few of the cousins are driving down right after Christmas to help them move in and stick around for New Year's.

You can be a really good player with a terrible batting average, but you have less margin for error. You have to really walk a lot and hit a ton of homers. A guy with a .300 avg has more ways to get to the same level of productivity. That said, we had a team with a pretty good AVG last season that was an utter failure at scoring runs.

Bears could finish 3-14 with two wins against playoff teams, one of which has a real shot at making the Super Bowl.

They should be shopping them to anybody and everybody for $1 more than it would cost to pick them up after being DFA.

Easy solution to teams not spending: All TV money, both national and local, goes into a single pool. It gets distributed to teams proportionally based on what they spend on player salaries.

. . . then the US will do nothing, just like they've done with Saudi Arabia and every other nation we buy oil and gas from.

Wow, what a day! Got home just in time to see Croatia score the late equalizer, then crush Brazil in PK. Saw the entire Argentina-Netherlands game. Can't get a much better day of action than today.

I think this is nothing more than TA acknowledging the obvious reality that once his options have all been exercised, there's zero chance the Sox offer him enough to keep him here beyond that.

4 AL starters made the first team and he wasn't one of them. Not sure how that happened.

This is what my brain prepping for a statistics final came up with: 2023: $30M 2024: $26M, becomes $30M with a Top 3 CY finish in 2023 2025: $22M, becomes $26M with a Top 4 CY finish in 2024, becomes $30M with Top 4 CY finishes in both 2023 and 2024 2026: $18M, becomes $22M with a Top 5 CY finish in 2025, becomes $26M with Top 5 CY finishes in both 2024 and 2025, becomes $30M with Top 5 CY finishes in 2023, 2024 and 2025. 2027-2029: If 180+ IP the previous year AND 450+ IP the previous 3 years, $30M club option with $15M buyout, otherwise $18M club option with $4M buyout.

I really hope I'm wrong but I see Gallo being another Nomar Mazara/Adam Eaton.

Especially since he seems to be not particularly good at it.

Was hoping this was a thread about teams interested in acquiring Joe Kelly and Leury Garcia.

Question: Is now the time to trade <insert literally any player's name here>? Answer: If you can get more value back then you're giving up, yes. If not, no.
