You haven't lived until you've eaten raw northern pike and pickled loon egg
depends on the quality of the sushi. Does grayling and char make for good sushi?

Why would he want to pay Canadian taxes?  Just a ploy to get other teams to up their bids.

A role he’s never held before, never even started 10 games in a season as he enters his age 29 season with only 2 years of team control.
Its interesting, Preller essentially did with Soto what I proposed with Lane Thomas. Gamble on a guy who could be great, but also has durability concerns.

If King goes the season as a number 3, its a really good trade for Preller. In fact, he gets that from King, the Padres probably push into the playoffs.

It was a good crowd.  I had sold my tickets, but wound up going anyways after picking up some last-minute seats behind the glass...you don't appreciate just how massive Mantha, Edmundson, Carlson & Protus are until you see them up close.  How did Tie Domi and Theo Fleury survive in the NHL??

a bit. The folks who used to boost UZR used to say you need about 3 years of data before it starts to look like a reliable measure of a defender's skills. I mean, Michael Taylor is volatile too on some defensive measures, and there's little question he's substantially above average as a defender.

Yeah, and a lot can happen in 3 years between injuries and just general aging which throws another wrench into things. I think OAA is supposed to stabilize faster though.

I'll be curious about how they calculate the Nats payment on their TV revenue. Were they getting money at all during the dispute over MASN?  Even if they were getting the portion of the payments that MASN/Os don't dispute, were the Nats being deemed to have received the money in dispute and paying that? If the Nats were paying on the disputed money, were the Os as well (the deal provides that the Os get the same rights fee out of MASN as the Nats)? Are the Os payers as well?

There should definitely be an annual list or something that gets published whenever the calculation is determined. It's silly to not know now that it's tied into draft positioning.

Baseball defense year to year is like hockey goaltending. Voodoo.

I asked this on the baseball subreddit and finally got an answer that sorta kinda makes sense:

Edit: This definition makes it sound like it's not a static determination but rather one that is recalculated every season. I wonder how that would work if a team was on the bubble between being a payor vs payee club and how that would affect the draft lottery. So, definitely still confusing.
