Andrew Stoeten did quick and dirty math at the Athletic and got them to $57M including arb awards and guys on min. deals. But he was admittedly generous with the arb awards (including $1M for Luke Maile, who seems highly likely to lose his job to Reese McGuire).

Needs more bat flip to be Joey Bats..

Just wait until that 41 years of control starts throwing nasty heat!

GIF cuts off about a second too early for it to be a true comparison.

I can’t wait to play “platitudes” bingo when he’s outed by the internet. Any bets on what he does for a living? I’m going with cop.

He has definitely told people that all lives matter.

I was not aware of this. Guess I have to sign up now, I always love bringing old material to a new audience.

I am a very happy subscriber, The Athletic content is outstanding. I hope they do manage to breakthrough.

I really think that what the Jays are doing will be instructive to the rest of the league. Forget investing a ton of money in scouting and development. Just start paying a premium for genuine ex-big leaguer semen. Forget stud prospects, embrace stud fees. The Jays have clearly shown they can’t draft, sign or trade…

So it’s essentially heritage, not hate? No wonder the Republicans fell in love with Russia.

HE thought she was asleep... SHE did not provide consent for the initial 5 minutes of touching. The lack of consent does not mean consent is given.

As far as he was concerned she was sleeping.

He didn’t “make a pass.” She was unable to provide consent for his kissing, roaming hands, etc. as she was sleeping. Sleeping people can’t provide consent.

Everything that happened before she said no was done without consent, so yes. Assault.

You can’t consent, implicitly or otherwise, when you’re asleep.

Not that anyone asked, but I'd definitely rather be a Jay than a Met. Toronto is a great town

That Blue Jays official quote all but calls Stroman “boy”, doesn’t it.

Haha, man it’s so awesome to win these petty personal battles! Lord knows I hope Shapiro enjoys it, because they’re not fucking winning anything else - not even 81 games - until 2024.

Yeah, Syndergaard is younger than Stroman, but he’s not quite as, ah...urban. You get what I’m saying? Got a real wholesome upbringing. Seems like he runs with a good crowd. The kind of guy I’d want my daughter to date. Sometimes a boy just needs somebody he can look up to.

In all fairness to Stroman, a trade to the Mets does feel like a punishment.
