    So much for that "easy" schedule for the Bears and them not being legitimate. The Bears are just taking it to the Eagles on offense. Other than the one mistake by Williams this has been absolutely dominating game by the Bears offensively. The Bears run game looks better than the Packers did against the Eagles.

    I don’t believe if the Brewers were to trade Peralta it would be because of payroll. The amount that Peralta is making is far far far smaller than Woodruff’s. If the Brewers were to make a payroll dump it would be Yelich and not Peralta. Yelich’s contract off the books would be a net savings versus Peralta’s who would be a net negative.

    So they can be traded, if the player approves. The consent part is the key here.

    I don’t believe the QO has the same rules as a player who signs a new contract in the off season. I believe a team can trade them whenever and don’t have to wait. I don’t see anything in the CBA that states a team would have to wait until June like they would with a FA signing. I believe the QO acts similarly to another year of arbitration between a player and a team.

    Not enough. I don’t believe the Nationals or the Angels would have much if any interest in Patrick and Yoho. A package for Abrams/Neto starts with one of Made or Pratt. Then another pitching prospect and a throw in piece or two. The cost to move on from Ortiz is just way too high. You either have to go out and get someone like Bichette or overpay in terms of prospects in a trade. The Brewers are not doing either so it is Joey Ortiz who will be the starting SS for 2026. Even if you move Turang back to SS Ortiz is still on the team and will be the everyday 3B in this scenario. Take your pick do you want Ortiz at 3B or SS or do you want to trade one of Pena/Made/Pratt for SS help?

    It is early but I was expecting all of my stocks to be in the red today. So far all green.

    I think it is. Look at the remaining schedules for the playoff teams. Most are playing other contenders.

    Their defense sucks but the offense is actually really solid. They have one win against the Browns and then probably have a 50-50 shot of winning one of two against the Packers. That gets the Bears to 10 wins.
  9. nate82
    Well they only need to win two more games to get to 10 wins and make the playoffs so I like my chances. Especially when I figured they would go at best 9-8.
  10. nate82
    No but they almost lost to the Cowboys in OT.
  11. nate82
    Are you talking about the Packers or the Lions here?
  12. nate82
    I could see the Brewers picking up Manoah and seeing if they could fix him. I wouldn't be surprised if he was added as starting depth.
  13. nate82
    Have they figured out how to do this with paper money?
  14. nate82
    Cryptocurrency is going to be bigger soon. The largest bank in the US and possibly the world just launched its own cryptocurrency department. This thing is going to get bigger from what I have been told. Right now it is just for institutional transactions but this is probably going to be the new everyday transaction for PoS systems.

    No I did say towards the bottom that Yelich wouldn’t approve.

    This probably has a zero percent chance of happening but…… Yelich and prospects to the Angels Trout and Perkins to the Phillies Castellanos and prospects to the Brewers Brewers retain Yelich’s deferred payments in this scenario. Why this makes sense for the Brewers? The Brewers get out of the Yelich contract and replace it with Castellanos for one more season and get low level prospects. This also allows for the Brewers to sign some of their younger players to long term deals with the majority of the Yelich contract off the books. Why this makes sense for the Angels? The Angels are able to get out of the Trout contract but still get a veteran back for the next few years. They also clear some payroll so they can possibly add another veteran in FA. Why this makes sense for the Phillies? The Phillies get a replacement for Schwarber. In this trade scenario Schwarber signs elsewhere and Trout replaces him as the main DH. The Phillies also get a good defensive CF in Perkins which they are lacking. The trade is unlikely to happen as both Trout and Yelich would have to agree to the trade. I think Trout would be fine with this but I don’t think Yelich would be. Again this probably has a zero percent chance of happening, I am just bored and was thinking of something crazy.

    Susac being unprotected is a big surprise. Probably goes #1 and he should be able to fill in as a backup catcher and not cost a team a roster spot. This is a head scratching move by the A’s. I am not sure what they are doing here. I would be shocked if he doesn’t get picked early.

    Blasphemous heretic!!!!!!

    Obviously the Lions schedule is far easier than the Bears. Of their remaining 7 games two are against teams well below .500 and one against the Vikings. They should finish ahead of both the Bears and Packers by at least one game or more.
  20. nate82
    Goff is not an elite level QB and I am not even sure he is an above average QB. I think at best he is an average QB. He will probably cost the Lions a SB chance. The Eagles offensively look average and the Lions defensively are nothing special. The NFC as a whole is nothing special. I wouldn't be surprised if the top seeds all get upset in the NFC and the same in the AFC other than the Bills. There just isn't a dominant team in the NFL right now and maybe the Bills are the closest to that type of a team?

    Matt "Salad Tongs" Wise strikes again! https://www.cbssports.com/nhl/news/jack-hughes-injury-devils-star-out-eight-weeks-team-dinner/?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us No evidence salad tongs were involved in this injury.

    If the Lions lose this weekend I don’t see a path for them for the #1 seed even with a lighter schedule than most of the other playoff teams.

    It is not really Manfred's call. It is the owners call to make. This may come up in the next CBA but I wouldn't hold my breath on the owners approving it. From a year ago: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/07/rob-manfred-hints-at-changes-to-rules-on-trading-draft-picks.html There is probably one "stupid" team left that would ruin it for others and they are in a large market with the Dodgers. The Angels are the "stupid" team here and probably would have traded all of their 1st round picks and then some when they had Ohtani and Trout on their team. That market is really important to MLB even if it is dominated right now by the Dodgers.

    Drive through Arizona once and you will have them everywhere. In AZ we have a law that mandates the insurance companies to have the option of free glass replacement as an option on your insurance. Mine gets used at least once every other year. So many rocks hit my car everyday it is a miracle I only go through one windshield every other year.
  25. nate82
    Not really. I think MLB doesn’t want teams trading away their future kind of like what happened in the NBA before they put rules in place.
