Omar Vizquel wants a redemption arc, the Red Sox are making moves, the Reds sign a starter, Fanatics gets sued, Mickey Mouse in the public domain, useless cold medicine, and overusing "however"
More Wander Franco news, a minor signing, bad merch, Andrelton Simmons' retirement, some super immature words about Andrelton Simmons' anatomy, Nikki Haley, and my thoughts on some cities
A welcome to Yoshinobu Yamamoto, a far less friendly welcome to Wander Franco, a welcome to Isiah Kiner-Falefa, eh, the mob has spoken about the Substack bugout, stealth musicals, and Tommy Smothers
Looking for Wander Franco, signings, another fresh start, Ohtani gives a teammate's wife a Porsche, some housekeeping, Nate Silver and knowing what we don't know, an IAD paradox and George Santos
Yamamoto is a Dodger, some rule tweaks, life imitates art, life imitates Orwell, a Duke Boy gone bad, a guest post about Babe Ruth, and a few more words about this newsletter's eventual migration
The Padres sign a closer, the Mets and Brewers make a trade, what Ohtani's contract means for L.A., janky uniforms, a frightened car, A woman after my heart, Jackwagons, and The Rolling Stones
Cutch returns, Yay Jeets, unpopular opinions, one more thing about Posey, one more self-checkout thing, help to the homeless, environmental confederates, and the best state flags
The crime rate and free agency, the crime rate separate and apart from free agency, how Ronald Reagan made Americans shorter, and far, far too much about self-checkouts at the grocery store
Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s dinner plans, Max Scherzer's bad back, Tyler Glasnow's extension, Yuli Gurriel's new deal, the Royals keep workin' it, "Godzilla," "Living," and "Love Actually"
Introducing Ohtani and Lee, a trade is almost done, a couple of signings, a minor league rebrand, a retirement, Neanderthal genes, a book for serious enthusiasts, and life is comin' at me fast
