Season starts tonight with Knicks and Celtics followed by Lakers and TWolves.

Will history be made early in the 2nd game?

Posting is important, too. Trout has one season of 126 plate appearances and another of 146 plate appearances since 2021.

Him playing CF is part of the problem. Put him at a corner or DH so you can take advantage of his 140 wRC+ over more games.

Posted my 2025 NBA Trade Value list two days ago…

Luka was 4th overall and in the “COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY UNTOUCHABLE” group. Whoops.https://t.co/xODQLBCvBf

This is, obviously, wrong.

There’s no NFL comp, but if one were forced to make one, here is the correct one:

The Bills trading Josh Allen during the ‘22 season, the season after the :13 game, for Matt Stafford and a future 1st.

Again, there’s no NFL comp, but this is closest. https://t.co/0RfUpZgKRi

Thinking about this more, the only thing that makes sense to me is ownership stupidity. Like they didn't want to pay the higher levels of the tax to give Luka the supermax, and thought they could sell it to the fanbase if they got a "big name".
