The Atlanta Braves

Know where they hide? I never encountered one there.

Also passed my mental eval and I lived there soooooo

I mean “insane” only admiringly. It would be amazing to live up there for awhile. My lord I would drink a lot in the winter though

IIRC, they throw out a crazy stat that like nearly 50% of drivers are impaired during the winter.

The real problem here is DST. Alaska does not partake.

Merry Christmas from Nashville, where it’s not even 5 pm and the sun is already down. I don’t know how you people don’t kill yourselves in the winter.

No lie. It drives me crazy when I’m up there this time of year and the sun starts dropping at 3:30.

 

[BigOrange15]

What is this sun you all speak of?

Never heard of it.

Honestly as a night shifter I prefer this time of year. Makes it a little easier for me at least trying to sleep during the day.

 

[GAVol]

The Eastern Michigan QB has one heck of a story about how his football career ended lol.

 

[zjcvols]

Oh yikes

Morosi linking Braves and Arenado

MLB Trade Rumors makes a good point.... If they won’t pay Donaldson $25million through age 37 and they weren’t serious players for Rendon, why would they give up prospects for the privilege of paying $35 million to Arenado through age 35?

Because the Rockies can eat some for prospects?

I guess. That’s the only way it makes sense but you’d think they have to value the payroll savings as much or more than the prospect return.

That’s not arenados contract. $35 for 29-33. $32 for 34. $27 for 35. I imagine $27M in 2026 is gonna be okay. Debt will be paid down ha.

Rendon had draft pick and his contract runs thru 36/37 yo

I don’t feel like I have to explain why no Donaldson

Zero chance he is a Brave.

That’s at least a little better than I thought the back end of the Arenado contract was. Still don’t think they do it.

ZERO CHANCE JARRETT GUARANTANO LEADS US ONTO THAT JANUARY FLORIDA SUN DRENCHED BOWL GAME FIELD EITHER BROTHER

Morosi said we are “wary” of his contract, which means we would pay all of it, which would seem like a pretty big deterrent.

Yeah, that’s seemed pretty unlikely a few months ago for sure

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

@GreatWhiteNorth

We need another legit WR but damn. I don’t know about all that.

 

[Florida Stanley]

We need another legit WR but damn. I don’t know about all that.

Not like that. He is a crap human.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Trading for Arenado on that contract would be a bad move and would be used as justification for letting Freddie walks in a couple years.

 

[vols 30]

If, and it's a big if, he he is got his act together, then the Saints would be unstoppable. They're already close to that anyway.

On the flip side, he is a distraction and disruption to the team.

4/100 or more for JD would be worse

also no way that’s the case in reference to Freddie when we still aren’t paying Ronald or Ozzie anything
