Weird idea: every team is allowed to have one player that was drafted by the team (and with them continuously) or signed internationally by the...
Game theory question: If you did have the executive power to cancel some/all student debt, when would be the ideal time? Obviously you can...
Then wait until the deadline. We'll be terrible until then and I doubt he'd mesh well enough on the fly to improve much before the end of the year.
Yes, but it depends which 1st rounders. We want to offload Wall anyway. Are 3-4 mid-late first round picks really not worth the risk for a #1...
if Biden is serious about this infrastructure bill Pete is right where he needs to be both for messaging and for his future. infrastructure...
Also most infrastructure jobs can’t be offshored. Even if you’re able to prefabricate some items you still have to transport and install on location.
No I meant 2021 since the checks will go out this year. I think they should have done the same last year too but that has passed. Just send...
agree but I think means testing should be done when people file their 2021 taxes; not based on 2019 returns

As Free Agency opens what I'd like to see: SP: Kyle Gibson RP: Drew Pomeranz, Colin McHugh, Brandon Morrow Catcher: Yasmani Grandal, Alex Avila...
Pomeranz is intriguing based on his results as a reliever this season.
If Crane is willing to pay a little tax, the Astros are in a great position. A lot of good 2nd and 3rd tier starter, reliever, and catcher options.
Embarrassing showing from the Cards.
If I'm Houston I don't want to give him an opt out that soon. Part of the rational for paying the huge salary and tax is so Cole can anchor the...
If you hypothetically sign all arb, spend $40M on Cole, Chirinos, and Maldanado, and trade Reddick you would end up with a team salary of ~$235-240M.
Pay him. Pay tax in 2020 and 2021 then back under threshold in 2022 when Verlander and Greinke come off the books. Manage amount of tax by...
