    Damn, that dude's info is so exclusive that no one else has even had the guts to report it

    I hate that MLB will never have the kind of financial equity that the NFL has (because of the number of games, because of the regional aspect of the TV contracts, blah blah blah) but it's outrageous that teams like the Cardinals are still getting competitive balance picks and being treated like they have no chance to compete with the "large markets" (who often act like small market teams when it comes to spending). I've never loved the idea of a hard salary cap/floor for baseball, but it might be time (if, and only if, the cap is based on an algorithm around revenues and not around greedy billionaires not wanting to spend)

    I don't love auto-bids for P5 champs. I don't want a 9-4 Oklahoma St. team taking a spot away from an 11-1 SEC runner up. FWIW, I hate auto-bids from conference tourneys in the NCAA tournament as well (the auto-bids should go to regular season champs, not conference champs)

    I’ll be damned. The video of Ruth they linked in that story was a video I created like ten years ago. Some wanker stole it and put it on their channel apparently. That comment is funny, but not really accurate. Ballplayers back then weren’t just dudes off the street. There were pretty extensive farm teams back then. The point remains though; yes, if you time machined 1918 Babe Ruth into 2018, he’d K almost every time. However, hitting a round ball with a round bat is a translatable skill to some degree. Some people have that skill to an extreme level. Ruth was a ridiculous athlete for his time and if infant Babe Ruth was transported to 1990 and grew up playing ball, I bet he’d be a stud in the MLB. Give Babe Ruth an off season of video, training, etc. and he'd do very well in 2018

    I've been listening to MLB Radio Winter Meeting coverage during my commute and they NEVER mention the Cubs w/ Bryce, but CONSTANTLY mention the Dodgers

    This is great. GARPAX has built, without question, the worst culture in the NBA. Worse than Jerry "No Corn Rows" Krause?

    I’ve seen a decent amount of articles about how Puig, Pederson, Kemp and Verdugo are being shopped. I’m sure, and yet the Dodgers are constantly considered “front runners” while the Cubs are “unlikely” despite the same numbers of hurdles for both teams to clear

    Can someone explain why “The Cubs are interested “ always has the caveat of “but they would need to get creative”, while “The Dodgers are interested” has no such caveats? Don’t they have a ton of OF’s and a similarly high salary situation?

    The Pirates' window shut in a hurry, yeesh

    Such a huge buzz that LITERALLY NO OTHER OUTLET IS REPORTING IT

    Because the curse of Virginia McCaskey states that the Bears shall never have a QB better than a Jay Cutler-esque combo of talent and turnoviers
