It's not my decision, so I would say Joe Biden wanting him in the position.

It is a decision of consciousness that pretty much every official who left the Trump administration talked about in a balancing act of how effectively could they do the job versus how much worse would the next person be.

Not really, no. Again one person WANTS to.

I really believe a large amount of how Fauci messaged during the early days of the pandemic was a balancing act between getting as much truth out there as possible, and doing everything he needed to do to NOT get fired by Trump, so that he wasn't replaced by another TrumpBot that would have no problem parroting all of the Trump lies which were told early on, including just repeating per batum Chinese propaganda on this.

Google define whataboutism

I trust the Sox more than anyone to be able to squeeze a maximum of health out of P Ohtani.

In a second.

I concur.

So 3 times you call out Soxtalk and then "Loser south side people", yet I am speaking for "all"? Um, sure. Not sure why you are here with all of these people you are calling losers, but sure, I am the one who is discrediting people.

You literally discredited the entire forum in your first post, but don't let that stop a mediocre rant.

Yet here you are passing absolutely no judgment on the forum you are posting on.

Man you have gotten easily offendable.

That's why I put both scenarios. The contract agencies can call it whatever they want, but if you look at the actual contract here, there is no scenario where the Sox pay $54 million over 3 years. it either happens over 4 years, or 13 years. That might be a luxury tax rate or something like that, but for the sake of the actual payroll there are exactly zero scenarios where this is $18 million a year over 3 years. None.

Its actually not 3/54 in any aspect. If he stays 4 years it is 4/54. If he only stays 3 years, the last $15 million pays out as $1.5 million a year (no interest) over 10 years making it a 13/54. The accepted present value in that case is $51.67m.

There is a legitimate reason for this if you understand his contract structure, which is not conventional.

I am actually a fan of the Cardinals because I think they are a well run organization and they are the Cubs primary rival. I like to see them win.

Not usually a huge fan of PPD, but the Sox are better off for this one.

Sometimes the jokes are just too easy.
