Why can’t his legacy just be: he tried the best he could to make America a better place, and that was usually not enough?

Do YOU have any sabermetric data regarding GM performance? Show me anything and you guys win.

Do you have any, other than “combined WAR of every prospect he didn’t take in the draft”?

Several thoughts, none of which really tie together or lead anywhere:

Mike Rizzo is 825-759 since he took over in 2009, and 697-563 after 2011 (once he got the flotsam he inherited out of the way) with skinflint owners to boot.

Not to be overly reductive... but losing to the Mets is a pretty spectacular reason why you deserve to miss the playoffs. Even the Nats’ sad husk of a team is 6-6 against them.

Does anyone actually have a subscription to The Athletic? If so, how do you like it? Thinking about taking the plunge myself...

And his last name.

No, he’s advocating for *QB* wage suppression. Because that alleviates wage suppression for the other 51 members of the team.

Only problem there is that kills the entire point of the hard cap. If the hard cap doesn’t include all contracts, it’s not a hard cap...

Don’t worry, Coach K is still there.

I’ve heard Kawhi is basing his free agent decision on which team’s local broadcasts are the most complimentary of him. This is really a savvy move by the Clippers.

But, he would... He’s not in this game for anything else. He definitely doesn’t give a shit about “making america great again”

I have nothing of substance to say about this article or the reporting contained herein... But as a Nats fan, I just want to say, Jose Reyes in his prime was one of the scariest players I’ve seen in the last 14 seasons in the NL East. Others in discussion are Young Miguel Cabrera, Young Hanley Ramirez, Current Freddie…

As a UNC alum...Just once, can our football program NOT snitch on itself? Just go 3-4 years without snitching and watch the wins roll in.

Is it?

They’ll definitely be propped up on stage...

Counterpoint: it took Art Monk 8 ballots to get inducted even though when he retired, he had the 4th most receiving yards in NFL history - and to my knowledge- no character concerns.
