Cup of Coffee: March 27, 2024

Good morning!

Once again, I wanted to remind you of our Opening Day sale. All new Premium Subscriptions are 20% off for a limited time:

The sale price will last you for a year on either a monthly or an annual sub. Thanks for considering it, folks.

Today the last major free agent domino fell, there are memories and desire stirring dull roots with spring rain, ESPN is farting around with baseball rights, three former Rays minor leaguers are in deep, deep legal trouble, there are various bits of news from Japan that have noting to do with Shohei Ohtani, a Chávez Ravine reparations bill has been introduced, and there’s a low-stakes conspiracy theory floating around that amuses me.

In Other Stuff, we talk about the NFL Spheres of Influence, the brutal autocracy that is Russia, and how the ugliness of the political right seemingly knows no bounds. And since all of that is bleaker than fuck, I end things with a palate cleanser.
