Maldonado will right this ship any day now.

The other thing is: Would the Thunder of all teams have been reluctant to hold onto a pick if it was a dealbreaker? They actually have more than they keep. It sucks cause we can't even say hindsight is 20/20. There were calls to trade DDR or Zach two years ago when they both had good-to-great value, DDR last year, Caruso last year (when he was apparently worth two first rounders) and Drummond last year (when he was supposedly worth two second rounders). If they started this two years ago, they wouldn't have locked themselves into the nonsensical Vuc deal. Instead they're maxing out at...Josh Giddey. Just all-around horrible.

Gonzalez is 27-years-old, for what it's worth. But he was DFA'd to make room for Brebbia (who started out as a dumpster fire and is now getting better). Romy hasn't been amazing, but he'd be one of the better bats in the Sox lineup. Just like Declan Cronin was DFA'd to make room for Tim Hill, who was hot garbage.

He doesn't play FASTs

Leadership, baby

Not getting any picks for Caruso from a team with a treasure trove of picks is a disgrace

I went and looked it up, I didn't realize how much larger he is than Tork. To give everyone an idea, he's listed as as 6'5", 235 lb B-Ref says Frank was 6'5", 240

Welcome back, homie

Preferably both

Yeah but he did say this:

I would like to see Jacob Burke come alive.

Oh thank God ?‍☠️?‍☠️?‍☠️

I thought he was about to run through the net

Noooooooooo

He saw Brebbia warning up and decided pounding a Gatorade and heading to the mound was a better idea.

Right before the Rockwood Classic ?

The fact that they had a tweet saying 'our video clipping software is down. Luis Robert hit a home run!' on the home page beneath said video of the home run kinda says it all. The tweet itself — I can almost see the social media producer leaning into the team destitution, knowing the fans are gonna react angrily. But then I see the fact that they still can't fucking format these.

I know! I'm actually watching the WNBA now cause of her (which has expanded to the rest of the rookies) and considered tickets to a Liberty-Fever game until I saw the absolute silly prices. Buuuuut Reese's play where she hit her in the head was like, a normal ass basketball play. That was very obvious on every replay. She missed the ball. If you want to talk about Caitlin Clark, who is not on the Women's Olympic Basketball team, maybe do that in a WNBA thread? Or are we gonna talk about Chet Holmgren being robbed of a spot in the entirety of the men's thread?

so is this thread gonna be about the US Women's Olympic Basketball team or [insert daily generated controversy that is utilizing Caitlin Clark as a surrogate for someone else's talking point]

Just saying, the last time Harold and I both wanted the same player in the draft was Crochet. I am easily swayed by lefties that do cool things.

Ohhhhh. Yeah he won't give a s%*#. I believe the story is that he passed up a name that had "Win" and "Trust" in the deal because it also included Comiskey ("Wintrust Field at Comiskey Park"). Supposedly money was the same?
