I mean they have like 24 hours/day to program, couldn't they do a weekly or even daily 30 minute show on the farm teams? I guess it probably wouldn't bring the revenue of a 30 minute paid advertisement for reverse mortgages or something.

I'm assuming there will be no Hearn update for today's game.

Ben Brown: not as good today.

So this is the very definition of an arbitrary endpoint as I basically just looked for the furthest back date where his K rate was under 20%, but Canario since 6/21:

 

162 PAs, .289/.401/.630, 15.4% BB, 19.8% K, 12 dongs

 

He's a lot of fun right now.

 

That said if Jed does make a deal of consequence this winter, Canario does seem to be the best combination of consequential and expendable? There's not really a scenario IMO where all four of Davis/Nelly/Canario/Seiya stick on the same MLB roster. Honestly even three seems unlikely? So while you don't need to make a trade, if you're making one this seems like one of the spots where you can most easily deal from some surplus.
