I don't know, moving from SS to 3B completely destroyed Machado's career.

Do you think he (or anyone) would volunteer to go on a podcast that would try and destroy him?

The Cubs not able to come to an agreement with Tucker is absolutely insane. What are they doing?

Kris Bryant went to war with the Cubs and that seemed to work out.

They all do it now. Jersey swaps, go on each other's podcasts. I'm only 40, but it sure ain't like it used to be.

I thought he was incredibly candid in the interview and comes off (TO ME) that he is moving a lot of things in the right direction.

Maybe he would have been better, but a high possibility he wouldn’t be. Guys are busts far more often than not.

Seems like a lot for a complete bum.

Crap. Him and Witt will put up a combined 9.1 WAR!

Part of me wonders if there is a trade in the works (Martin or something) that would clear a spot, which is why they haven't announced their signing from last week.

Yeah you are correct. So it'll be Scholtens and...not sure. Deloach? Colas?

Shewmake was, pretty sure. This one is going to be Scholtens I'd guess. Edit - Oh yeah, Shewmake was another move.

Yeah I never understood that. They need a guy like this. Honestly I'd bring back Flexen, too. Going to need A LOT of innings.

It's a minor deal so who really cares he can be cut in ST, but getting awfully crowded in the infield. Really makes me think Vargas will be getting 1B reps. Edit - Did not realize this guy is majority 1B.

Other teams do it just fine. The White Sox f*** up because they try it with their most unathletic people.

I'm sure one of the infield prospects they have will find themselves out there. Which worries me a lot less than sticking a first baseman into RF.

I’d be fine with either for what differences they bring to the table, but I’d really love Ben Johnson in Caleb’s ear.

It is pretty wild the Packers were a blocked FG from being 0-6.

Yeah, I have connections to people, too. A lot of them are dumbasses who I know suck at their job.

I would assume Johnson would have already stated that to the team, since it looks like he already turned down interviewing with the Jets for (I assume) a situation he does not like.

If Johnson is the real deal, Poles looks like a genius and gets to keep his job for as long as he wants and will look like an "architect' building a winner. If he picks someone else and they are bad then he will never be a GM again. It would be so stupid for Poles to not want Johnson, but I don't know the guy or how he thinks - so maybe he would be mad if Johnson starts getting credit or something.

Bears are dumb, but I'm not going to sweat the names coming out on who they are interviewing quite yet. I'll worry more when the "finalists" come out and that list sucks.

Pretty sure the 3 worst records have the exact same odds.

It would be basically impossible to be as bad as they were last year. Everything went wrong with a manager who was doing more harm than good.

O’s continue to sign mid pitching with Charlie Morton.
