Not necessarily LHP/RHP or anything like that, just if you read that specific blurb that was posted.

Sounds almost like Carson Fulmer

Good point. Again I hope to be wrong but maybe it was just when Rose was with the Bulls? Beats me.

Josh Fields, the only guy to ever strike out on 2 pitches

Oops. Read it wrong, my bad. You're right

The goof is now saying if Arenado is not on the Sox by opening day, he'll delete his twitter. Now I can't wait for March 26 for 2 reasons.

Nice! But I also thought JR wasn't letting anyone wear 1 again for theSox or Bulls because of Derrick Rose (I know that makes no sense for the Sox, but I could've sworn I read that somewhere)

And Kenny Lofton Because he always wears a jacket. It's just ST. He said at SoxFest he wants 99 in the MLB.

How so?

Oh please

Never knew Kipnis was Steve Bartman's neighbor growing up

Unless a trade is going down, Vinny Del Colliton has lost his mind

Your best bet will be to hire a lawyer. Probate is bad enough, but medical bills, claims, etc is tough

Right. The rich folks have a difficult time with saving for retirement because 1) they're used to living on their entire income- their lifestyle has adapted to that and so they'll need almost all of that income each year in retirement + inflation and 2) they have less vehicles to do it because of their income. Making $300k+ each year and only contributing 5% to a 401k with a 5% match is going to be almost impossible to live reasonably (in their mind) in retirement. I used to be an advisor and when people would say "we make $500k as a household now and in retirement I think we'll need about $3k per month to live how we want" I would legitimately laugh. Yeah, going from 42k a month to 3k a month is doable.

I agree, except even worse. It was like watching a bad college football game, like Illinois vs Virginia Tech or something

Interesting. Never really thought of it that way.

That's kind of what I was implying. If he's a .310/.400/.390 hitter (let's just say), with good defense, is that $10M a year? More? Less? Point is, I can't imagine losing that extra year of service time for a slap hitter who plays good D is all that important financially. Robert, Moncada, Jimenez, all of those make sense, but Madrigal is such a wild card.

At Madrigal's peak, how much does someone like him get paid in free agency?

A bottom 4 defenseman? Well gee, it's not like the Hawks could use a #3 or #4 defenseman or anything

Ah, the sweet tone of someone who realizes their beginning-of-the-year opinion was dead wrong

The thought is, however, that if he acts like a shithead and does become the distraction you assume he may, they can send him packing with little to no financial burden.

Trading Jokijarju was brilliant ?

I know, but I also figured I'd throw it out there because I have no clue how much @justBLAZE makes and if I'm here giving financial advice, it's the responsible thing to do to address every scenario

People who make a lot of money need to max out their 403b/401k. Roth IRA's aren't possible under the law. There is permanent life insurance and brokerage accounts, but you might as well throw ~19k into your 403b/401k if you're making 500k or more per year. That's less than 5% of your income, big deal.

If they offer a match, go with the Roth. You'd rather pay taxes now than later, and psychologically for me, I'd rather see the taxed money leave my checks now than to get it taxed as I withdraw in retirement. Some will tell you to contribute what they match, but depending on your income, it may be best to max it out entirely.
