How the F are we ever going to build an offense?
https://www.perfectgame.org/players/playerprofile.aspx?ID=634446 Jose Contreras' son and Uribe Jr. will fix everything.

Would dumping Benintendi's $50 million remaining on LAD
Will convnce Beni to defer current $$$ into future for 15-25% added to deal.

Nearly guaranteeing a Top 2-3 pick for 2026...in the process. Major League III/IIII/V.

The crappy washed up vets committee must be paying Getz more in kickbacks for signing their last leg clients than he gets from JR for covering for him.

All allocated to PR for stadium project with lobbying Springfield Gov Mayor national and local reps State Senate etc. More ticket sales reps.

Until it happens with LAD or NY Mets or even the O's with Loewenstein now the PE/VC financial backstop.

Rooting against Matsumoto Ohtani Betts Freeman Kershaw etc., seems... somehow not quite right either. Chelsea FC fans and anti-fans surely can "commiserate" with the wide-ranging Boehly feelings though.

Would dumping Benintendi's $50 million remaining on LAD
for Crochet and a Type B prospect coming to the Sox just to provide Getz and JR a little cover end your Sox fandom until JR and his family are completely out of the management picture?? Or done with Sox period... just like they'd moved to Nashville in the middle of the night in a backroom deal? What's the lowest valued 25 roster guy or MiLB prospect you could possibly accept in return without giving up completely? Thoughts?? Finally, do you feel most upset with Hahn, Pollock/Kimbrel, Getz or JR for creating this situation in the first place???

Used to be 10% for cap gains. We had this conversation recently and estate hit would be at least 20% unless it is given to a trust I think...but you'd have to ask a corporate tax lawyer. Someone said as much as 40% but that seems way too high. In the 90s something like 55-59% for highest tranches or tiers of an estate, partially why they balanced budgets under Clinton. And the lowest amount to be tax eligible was $650-750k and that was basically doubled for couples. Now it's some crazy number well over $10 million that the 2-3/10ths of 1% might actually pay.

They won't give more than one of those two for Fedde. Two for Crochet. Or Salas moved but that's highly highly unlikely at this point. De Vrieze not exactly tearing up the MW League either.

Now it's baseball more for fantasy sports, individual players, Padres to have a team in the other league and stay abreast of everything for fantasy again. Took Robert in to my team and that disaster is being rectified. Even bought a Robert autographed rookie for "just" $60 in Puerto Rico. Gunnar Henderson at a cool $300, autographed rookie card.

Everyone is baseball is going to absolutely hate the Dodgers again. Not that Matsumoto Buehler Kershaw and Glasnow have been close to worth it.

Still can be moved but ineligible for post season...in August. Or that rule changed too?

How the F are we ever going to build an offense?
White Sox attendance per game 17,564 Indiana Fever 16,898 Fever will likely catch up to Sox average over their last 11 home games with just 16 games remaining and the playoff race heating up after the Olympic Break.

They're down about $200 million from their highest valuation point by Forbes.

Now we have to blame Sox fans for being too loyal when they should be 29th or 30the right there with Oakland and running this team out on a rail out of the city with torches and pitchforks.

7-28 Gamethread: Mariners at Sox (1:10pm)
Speaking of Winkler...Barry would have been much more intimidating in Springfield.

I was in middle school and high school from 84-89 and that wasn't close to this bad with Thomas Ventura McDowell Fernandez Alvarez etc. in the pipeline. Heck Grebeck Paco Martin Christensen Merullo and Shawn Abner would be hitting stars on this team. Ofc I also thought skinny Sosa was the next Clemente. IMO Puig and Tatis and Vladdy Sr. are/were the three closest since then.

Orioles' fans have to be getting a bit nervous. Have almost completely blown a 6-0 lead.

This sounds like a very familiar rant this season... everyone is close to that point in one way or another.

Cubs Acquire Peredes
This is a weird one for the Rays who don't usually love offense first guys. Arozarena was dumped partially for that reason. Must see something fixable on. one side of the ball or other.

Crochet wants an extension to pitch in the playoffs
Should have put him on the shelf..like Fedde.

Jason Adam (TB) to the Padres
Lesko and Snelling really regressed this year. About as much or more than Montgomery. And Iowa's Mazur hardly ready...Preller still dumped a big prospect name knowing he would fail this year down the stretch Wonder if De Vrieze and Snelling other two TB options to choose from??? And Preller must know the insider status of Darvish (family issue) and Musgrove (banged up like Shields in SD at the end).
