I guess someone on Fox claimed Frank Thomas was dead? They may have confused him with the ex-Pirates player. https://twitter.com/thebighurt_35/status/1740787452091240690?s=46&t=BHs6Pl38GJXGN2Y4xeriNA

Frank Thomas was one of I think 4 guys to hold the title of Oldest Living Met in less than 2 years. Right now it's Willie Mays.

Giolito to Boston It’s a two-year deal with an opt-out after 2024 and some random playing time/option fuckery for 2026 I wonder if he’ll miss having Reynaldo Lopez around

https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/1740869971788640705 I kinda feel like this is just a one year deal with a bunch of ultimately pointless junk tacked on. Even if Giolito doesn't bounce back he's got the past success and pedigree to beat a $19M AAV for 2025, and third year contains a mutual option that's never going to get picked up because nobody ever picks up mutual options. Unless Giolito's arm falls off next year this is an effective 1/18 deal.

starting pitchers with pulses are getting like, 8 million dollar contracts this offseason, so someone who you can dream on being an "ace" (even though half his career is good #2 guy, and half his career is dogshit) is gonna get paid

Yeah a guy who shits out a 4.98 ERA over a full MLB season is still in the upper, upper, upper echelons of guys who can throw a baseball on the planet.

I don’t have any problem with someone who is dogshit mediocre at their job being paid $20 million a year if their dogshit mediocre skills relative to their peers dictate that $20 million is their value. Just the fact that for an overwhelming majority of people on earth, that’s many multiple lifetimes worth of income is still kind of astonishing. Eat the rich, even the players, but owners first.
