Still all silent on the Hosmer front. FA has been slow this year. Not sure if it is the Ohtani effect or just because big revenue teams like the Dodgers and Yankees are trying to stay under the cap.
I knew that 1 mi = 1.609 km, but I never knew that 1 WAR = $9m ...

Can you even get a proper main battle tank for that price these days? Let alone a whole war...

It makes me hate WAR and all that sabremetics malarkey all the more. By that I mean it’s just more data, not some absolute God particle.

If my GM is doing that type of work his office, I want him gone. I can get a college intern to do that.
I've never been to college and I can sign players in OOTP without all the sabermetric smokes and mirrors just as well, by using proven stats:

Batting Average

Home Runs

Wins - for starters AND relievers!

Now excuse me, I have to extricate my team from a 12-game losing streak.
