@ChrisCotillo Any interest in a package with Cole Messina? 40% CS rate at A+. They’re stockpiling at catcher and the Rox already have a couple young receivers on the 40-man. Betancourt of interest but less unlikely
A team poking around looking for veteran starting pitching: Colorado, per sources.
The Red Sox-related note here: wonder if they could be involved in trade talks for Patrick Sandoval as a buy-low, then-flip-at-the-deadline guy.
Before any #Patriots fan gets upset about the next inane Cam Newton take, put the source in perspective:
Cam Newton's career Rate+ was 96. Yeah for all the hype, he was more a throwing RB than a QB.
Oh, and Drake Maye had a 96 as a rookie. Year 2? 133. Cam never topped 115.
Dear @RedSox Front office,
Please stop telling us what your offseason priorities are. From “full throttle” to a big presence in the lineup you’re bordering on looking foolish at best.

PS. Please trade the young core to someone who will invest. They deserve a chance.
So much easier for Josh Allen to play Superman when the refs help on every critical down. Four crucial penalties in the second half, none against the Bills. That’s how @NFL manufactures legend
In the last decade, the average payroll position of an ALCS/NLCS contestant is 9.5. 6 of the 40 contestants (15%) were in the bottom third of payroll but none won it all. If you ignored those bottom-third you get a clearer picture: the typical ALCS/NLCS team has a top 7 payroll
While the @Dodgers attempt to purchase a third straight World Series and 8th WS appearance in 11 years, it might spark comparisons to @Patriots. Consider this: the NFL has long had a hard cap but MLB does not. Since 2016, LAD playoff teams avg a top 3 payroll, 74% above median
@NoContextHumans If the service and food was truly exceptional? Maybe.
If the server was the all-too-common, “you’re standing between me and my money” attitude? No. Hell no
@bwils927@Hunter_Noll Eh, his BP role was mostly trying to get value while limiting IP in his first season. It’ll be shocking if he’s not a SP through August and maybe BP after that.
Long term I won’t be surprised if he’s ends up in the CL role but his value is too high as a SP not to try it year 2
@Hunter_Noll 3 lefty relievers gone (counting matz FA) tells me tolle has solidified a bullpen spot, which makes me hopeful that they are serious about adding to the rotation

The Bresbians will come at me for posting this. But defend it to the nines when it actually happens.
Southwest Airlines is going to assigned seating. Herb Kelleher has got to be rolling in his grave as the “professional” managers strip the airline of all that made it distinctive. They’ve literally removed the smile from the airline.
@StoolGreenie If only Time Lord could stay healthy. Att this moment, he had not played the equivalent of ONE season’s worth of games since he signed that deal.
@Patriots always thought that Rhamondre Stevenson was a game changing talent and today they are proven right multiple times. How many times do we have to rewatch this tape???
