He probably wanted the Yankees and they decided to wait, so he is going to give it another shot next offseason. If he has a down year, then he opts back in for another $35M season and tries for a good team again. He gets 2 more bites at the apple and if he struggles he gets a $35M/year cushion. This seems like a good deal for him to me.

Nightingale confirms. This is actually hilarious. I would rather have Correa with the Twins (they suck) than the Astros, and he will almost certainly opt out after the first year, or definitely by the 2nd one. I kind of can't stop laughing at the Astros for this. ??

Hogwarts Legacy looks so damn good. Looks like the September release date is likely pushed back to November/December with the now "Holiday 2022" label at the end of the video. But shit, that 15 minutes of gameplay was awesome.

And with the posting fee, it will cost them $100M for 5 years. That's a helluva commitment from them. ?

There has never been a more Oakland A's looking player on this team than Gavin Sheets. And I like Sheets, I just feel like he fits the mold of an A's hitter during my lifetime.

Very helpful, thank you!

McHugh signs with Atlanta for 2 yr/$10M. I had him in my offseason plan for 2 yrs/$12M. I think that's a far better value than Joe Kelly at 2 yrs/$17M. ?

I'll just keep repeating every time he gets hurt that from the first minute if was announced I said that massive Tatis Jr extension was needlessly risky for the Padres given his lack of experience but more importantly his injury history. I am pretty sure the guy has has multiple moderate to severe injuries in every season of pro ball, which includes the minor leagues.

Rams! Champs!

I really thought they were going to kill Boba and I was totally cool with it

They really need to get rid of those Power Rangers kids. Really kills the vibe. And pretty cheesy when Mando pretty much gives up and stops trying to avoid death before *redacted* happens to save him. What a trope.

Yup, were excited to tell our family and friends that story as well. We had dinner at my parents house last night and my wife said it was killing her not to bring it up to them. ?

Something about that swing or follow through reminds me of Jason Heyward

Did anyone else in this thread watch Justified? Because I think they are intentionally making Cobb Vanth an exact copy of Raylan Givens. Literally down to the dialogue and speech. I swear I can even think of a scene where Raylan tells someone to "think it through" while in a similar high stakes situation. I feel like that Leo DiCaprio meme of him pointing at the TV every time I see Cobb Vanth in a scene as I scream to my wife, "That's Raylan! He's playing the same dude! I love this!" ?

Holy shit what a phenomenal episode of Book of Mando. ?? I saw someone say it's the best 45 minutes of any Star Wars show or movie that they've ever seen. Another Bryce Dallas Howard episode I think. Incredible.

This past week of The Book of Boba Fett being by far the best episode of the season should be a pretty worrying sign for the writers. That was far more interesting than any of the other storylines so far.

I started Station Eleven. We are 3 episodes in and I can't figure out if I like it or not. Real weird and I have no idea what's happening at times, or why things are happening or who people are. Yellowjackets with an awesome finale. I guess I was wrong about Jackie, and honestly I think it's lame to have her story end like that. Wouldn't survival instinct kick in and just get your ass in the house? Seemed a bit farfetched that her pride let her freeze to death. And Book of Boba Fett?? Honestly....not enjoying it very much. It's fine, I'll keep watching, but I just don't find it that fun. That awful chase scene with the Power Rangers kids was so cringey. Terrible CGI with characters/outfits/vehicles that didn't fit the Star Wars universe at all. Totally took me out of it and reminded me that Disney owns the IP. I've been way more excited about the Obi Wan series than I ever was about this Boba series, but now my expectations have fallen a bit since Madalorian.

Yea, you're right. So they went to National's instead of going to Prom. And Prom would typically be like mid-late May. Homecoming would be mid-late September. So they are probably at about 4 months right now, which would make sense with the one girl's baby bump starting to show.

Yea, I want to say it's been like 2 months so far? I agree, some sort of timeline would definitely help. I love the show so far, but I have a LOT of different ways I would have approached this survival so far. Maybe it's the fact that it's a bunch of HS girls who don't think the way a grown ass adult would, but there indifference to exploring or seeking out help has been very frustrating so far. Obviously a handful of them survive, but I find myself throwing my hands up at the screen every time I see them all just hanging out at the cabin for an entire day. Also, I totally think Jackie makes it out of there. I think they are pushing really hard for us to think she died out there. I do think it's possible she's dead in the present timeline, but I think she either died AFTER they made it out, or she disappeared and survived in hiding this entire time. I just have a very very hard time believing she died in the wilderness based on how much they want us to think that's the case.

Are we ready to talk about Dexter fucking up the ending AGAIN??

The fact that they think Vera has the best fastball (100 mph, I think?) AND the best control in the organization is very exciting. That's not usually a combination you see in a prospect.

Still wouldn't have fit the $4M I had left on my budget. ?

@bmags Hill just got $5M base salary, with up to $8M if he pitches 160+ IP.

If choosing to ignore half of the comment helps you think you made a good point, then I'll give you that charity; it's the Holidays after all.
