When it comes to "creative" trades, I am all aboard the idea of taking on the full boat on Grienke to get Goldschmidt with him, and to not pay much for it. That still leaves you room for another superstar.

This. I don't get the crush here. Obviously the rest of MLB felt the same way.

It would have to be something like $10 million per year more than the best long term offer they got to make it worth while, especially since both are sure to get opt outs anyway.

Hopefully if we lose to Philly and NYY, we at least make it really f-ing painful for them to win.

Because the Mariners have zero financial incentive to paint her as a liar and protect themselves from discrimination lawsuits?

He has one year of control left. Whoever signs him, he will be available in another year by all odds anyway, as it isn't like anyone is giving him a long term deal anyway.

I don't think that there is any question that failing in NYC is worse than failing anywhere else, except maybe Boston. The Chicago press is a lot more in league with the teams for some reason. Fans feed off of that to some extent.

Comparable contracts are quite literally how other people decide what to ask for in their own negotiations. There is no better point than a player of the same age, position, and offensive set to project someone's future deals.

The Bears are Chicago's team. No one is a better draw than them.

If it were 90% in reality, we'd all know it.

Facts aren't lousy. They are facts.

Ha, I knew this would trigger.

I am sure that is it. Or, this is easy to find information that a ton of institutions ran stories about during the Kananaugh hearings and sighted typical false reporting rates of 4 to 8%.

It's simple math dude. The reports are a Google away.

Statistically it isn't even close. Something between 10 to 20 true reports for every potential false one.

Carlos Santana got 3/60 for similar production at a similar age.
