Cup of Coffee: September 17, 2024

Good morning!

The Mets got some good news on Francisco Lindor’s back and had a good night at the ballpark last night as well, MLB is investigating Alex Cora’s comments about throwing at Aaron Judge, Farhan Zaidi sounds like a dead man walking, the White Sox plan to cut payroll, Matt Adams is retiring, and the MLBPA is suing four gambling companies.

In Other Stuff we talk about space cancer, I complain about hotel destination fees, and we have an item about both Gene Simmons of KISS and Morrissey and, hoo boy, that’s a combination no one needs in their life. But I am here to serve you, and sometimes I serve you what you need rather than what you want.

Also, by way of housekeeping, I turned off that audio newsletter option that appeared yesterday because it apparently can only handle like 1,000 words before it reaches its limit and I can’t clear my throat in the space of a thousand words, so it’s not worth messing with.
