People forget how fucking retched the sales were at Marvel before Cebulski took over. *Most* of his tenure was pretty good for Marvel, it just totally tanked over the last 2 years or so.
ALSO super proud of this roundtable by @averykaplan.bsky.social and the rest of the Beat Staff on the "All New, All Different" Marvel era and the Cebulski era. As we get ready for the Wacker/Winderbaum Era, this look back reminds us of how vibrant and engaging Marvel Comics can be.

An absolutely gorgeous night for baseball at the best ballpark
We should all take a minute to appreciate a moment that we’re in right this second that we will probably look back on as fans for many years to come. Whatever happens from here, we’re in one of the greatest runs in Red Sox history right now.
I get why courting a right-wing customer base seems appealing, they're bad with money and really fucking stupid

Per @andrewbaggarly.bsky.social and @ken-rosenthal.bsky.social, the Red Sox are nearing a deal to send Marcelo Mayer to the Giants for LH reliever Erik Miller. Miller is a giant (6-ft-5, 269-pound) lefty who ranks in the 97th percentile in whiff percentage and 95th percentile in K rate (32%).
WOW I wanted Mayer to be a stud, but it just hasn't happened. Hopefully he does great with Raffy in SF.
The Athletics' Ken Rosenthal says #Giants close to acquiring #RedSox Marcelo Mayer for reliever Erik Miller.
