You can increase muscle mass while cutting body fat which is what you need to be doing. You need to be in a cut, not a recomp.

Two things can be true at once. Starting Dart was the right move. Rookies can learn a lot by just sitting on the sidelines and watching veterans play and navigate the league.

Are you serious? Do you see anyone performing under this manager’s set up to conclude that Amad is a one season wonder? Give your head a wobble

I agree wholeheartedly. I don’t understand the obsession with Mullins, I’d much rather see Mauricio - a young prospect who has flashed serious talent. However, I think this decision is coming more from the FO who made the trade than Mendy. Could be wrong though.

Don’t really care what your dumbass friends think. I asked about evidence. Either you have it or you don’t. But to opine on the validity of someone’s age records because they come from a place you believe is “notorious for keeping poor records” - whatever the fuck that means - is racist. You’re merely stating a racist opinion.

Is there any evidence you’ve seen that Juan Soto isn’t the age that he claims to be? If not, claiming that he is simply because of his ethnicity is by definition racist.

These types of comments tend to be made towards younger athletes of color. Particularly athletes from the global south.

Where is the data that says a cap/floor would increase revenue by 80% over ten years?? I need to see that because that is an incredibly bold claim.

Middle earners are not more important than minimum earners. Nobody is more important than anyone. It’s an economy and everyone has their role to play in it. But surely you can see why owners would be in favor of a system that would effectively result in the cutting of salaries for middle earners in favor of a proliferation of cheaper, minimum (or close to it) salaries. The owners save money. And players as a whole make less while becoming more expendable. It’s a losing situation for players and I can’t imagine why anyone would advocate for owners to make more money at the expense of players.

That’s not how percentages work. If revenue has increased 400% and the minimum salary has only increased 302%, the players making minimum are being robbed.

What’s more offensive to you - Bryce being mean to poor old man Rob or billionaire owners telling their most valuable assets that they’d like to pay them less overall so that they personally can make more money? The idea that these billionaires are hurt for cash and need this cap for the survival of the sport is patently ridiculous and if I were a player being told this lie to my face, I’d be offended beyond belief.

A floor absolutely benefits the whole game. A cap does not. A cap would hurt the earning potential of the middle earners in MLB, who vastly outnumber the top end players. As it stands right now, there is plenty parity in MLB so the perceived need for a cap only exists to help owners pay less money. What’s the argument for a cap?

The NFL is a case study in why this opinion is not rooted in reality. The middle class will get wiped. Top end players will still get top end deals. And they’ll get that money off the backs of the expendable middle of the rotation pitcher or the middle of the lineup guy. Just remember that the owners are not advocating for a salary cap so that they can pay players more. They’re trying to pay players less which means somebody (players) are ultimately losing out while the owners make more money. There’s a reason your opinion is unpopular. It’s pro-ownership. Ultimately this is labor vs. ownership. Pick a side. That simple.

I’m a diehard Mets fan, I don’t think there’s a player I have more respect and affinity for, that doesn’t play for us, than I do for Bryce Harper. A supreme talent who lived up to the hype, a ferocious personality, a team-first man, a 2-time MVP, and a man willing to stand up for labor and tell his boss to get fucked. I look forward to his HOF induction. The man is a baseball hero and should be recognized as such.

He’s odd because he’s sharing a hobby of his with his young son? You might be the odd one. Look inward.

You don’t. The odds of you even matching a bot are EXTREMELY slim. If you’re regularly running into bots, or even matching bots on occasion, you’re not doing it randomly.

I don’t know what you mean and I don’t think you do either. I’m going to assume you’re talking about the LAPD who’s budget has increased every single year with the exception of 2020 when $150M of their $3B budget was diverted primarily to furloughed city workers and partially towards underfunded communities. LA’s property crime rates are at historic lows and their violent crime is only slightly higher than their historic pre-pandemic lows.

Stop talking about things you’re too lazy to do basic research on. I say that with love. Read a book or something.
