I had to go look up and confirm how the Cubs got PCA because I thought I couldn't possibly have remembered that trade properly.

For people who don't work in politics I think polling should be treated as trivia. Don't vote based on the polling, vote based on who you like more! Stop obsessively following every poll it is quite obviously driving us all insane!
It is funny that we can't even build decent weapons anymore. Just throwing money into a hole for literally nothing, not even bad reasons.

Too bad Cruz, Headrick, and Bednar will have to pitch in every game from now until October.

Ok turns out I am excited now.
MLB@mlbbot.bsky.social · 20h agoWhat a moment for George Lombard Jr. and his family 🥹
People love to get mad at Boone for stuff like this but personally I think this is literally his job and it's Cashman's fault for forcing him into the 26-man for this long.
Erica Block@ericablockparty.bsky.social · yesterdayfive years' worth of Aaron Boone gassing up Anthony Volpe
Soler getting DFA'd the day after the deadline is kind of funny given how many rumors there were about him going in Monday.
It sucks that I can't get excited about the Yankees calling up Lombard Jr. because of their atrocious track record of position player dev plus everything else about the team right now. Sucks, man.

The starting shortstop position has been an ongoing debate. Now, with the deadline in the rearview, the club may have found its solution.

it wouldn't be possible to have scripted a more perfect post-deadline game than this.

The Yankees love to make decisions that all make decent sense in a vacuum but simply do not at all work with every other decision they make.
Post-deadline lukewarm take: The availability of Hunter Goodman has been wildly overstated for a while now.
I didn't realize the Yankees were just cloning Spencer Jones and trying to pass them off as MLB offspring.
MLB@mlbbot.bsky.social · 2d agoFull circle moment 🧡 The Giants acquired Kaeden Kent, son of Hall of Famer Jeff Kent, in a trade today. Jeff spent 6 of his 17 MLB seasons with the San Francisco Giants, including his 2000 MVP season.
Since Holmes is just one guy, the Cubs only needed a Little room.

One thing I haven't seen the "We need a cap to stop the Dodgers!" people reckon with is the fact that Guggenheim would support a salary cap, too. It's not 29 v 1 over on the ownership side.
