Finally rid of that bum and no longer have to be reminded of the absurd one sided traded that brought him to Chicago

Cole opts out.

Bellinger opts in.

Yankees are kind of faced with a Sophie's choice here. That's a scary term to give a 34 year old but how exactly do you replace him?

was cole wearing a boras corp hat immediately after the WS loss again?

I’d like the Phillies to bring back Turnbull.

I don't hate it. He could bounce between there and DH with Burleson or Baker platooning in. Herrera and Pages both kinda needed to be up full time. They're saying he won't play C at all next year but we'll see if that sticks if one of the other guys get hurt.

Rent usually doesn't come from the same funding bucket as payroll

The lettering font is terrible.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

The lettering font is terrible.

The biggest takeaway is that if the back of the jerseys are as shown with the Bibee jersey, meaning they are going back to the bigger fonts for the names and numbers on the back, then that is a huge win in and of itself.

This is what I mean. Awful.

The "Cleveland" font is better, but still bad.
