One, two, is this on? Tech - Baseball - Wrestling - News - Video games - Board Game I mostly yell to the void if I'm honest. FR/EN, parce que je think in both languages tout le temps.

EA officially goes private tonight, meaning: - EA will no longer trade on the NASDAQ for the first time in 36 years - All stockholders of EA (including many employees) will receive $210/share - EA will take on $18 billion (!) in debt, putting it on the hook to pay ~$1.8 billion/year in interest

Jeff Hoffman on what he’ll remember most from his time with the #BlueJays: “Once you play in a place like this… you don’t want to leave. They definitely have a great thing going here. I think all organizations should strive to be like Toronto.”

We heard many suitors for Lars Nootbar over the last few days, but Arizona feels a little bit out of nowhere. For a team that even tried giving Max Kepler a shot, maybe Nootbar isn't such a bad guess.

The Orioles are getting what for Rutschman? 😲 I had to double-check his stats, I didn't remember him having a great season. They are okay looking, but with this return, you would think he was the best catcher in the league. 🤷

Oh, Jo Adell to the Guardians is a fun thing! He could be pushing Hoskins out of the DH spot since he's having a subpar season. The Guardians outfield has been in flux all season too, there's also room for him there.

The good thing about me not thinking Jose Soriano is a top of the rotation guy (too many walks, too inconsistent), is that with Cease and Yesavage here, he doesn’t have to be. Now #Bluejays have three legit SP for next year, plus Ponce, maybe Bowden Francis. Still hope Gausman comes back via FA.

I was on the fence about eBaseball Pro Spirits 2026, but I'm having fun, which is the only important thing. Some animations are still weird to me; there are some QoL missing in a few menus, but the core gameplay is fun.

For all the talk about the #BlueJays being the team for the whole country, and much of it is marketing, Kevin Gausman represents to me the first big free agent signing the team made that fully understood and embraced this idea.

I rarely comment on departing players, but Kevin Gausman is different. A thoughtful, reliable and impressive person to cover. All of the reasons #BlueJays fans were drawn to Gausman are genuine and real. Model player, model representative of this organization. He did it right.
