Is time-spent in the interim, before his reporting to flight school, counted toward his commitment? The guest on the podcast last week, some type of military reporter (?), believes this time is counting, so a year down. If I remember correctly the conversation seemed to doubt he would actually leave flight school this time next year if he is ordered there in the meantime.

"Enjoyed every minute."
It was a weird 20 minutes for someone that has been almost completely silent, with locked social media, to unlock, tweet, delete, and lock again. However, I was told the decision still remains at the Department of Defense level, and I know some of the SP team here heard the same as me.
The Navy is swearing in a new secretary today.

I retweeted that and it was instantly deleted. Not sure what that was about, but pretty ominous.

From what I read I thought it sounded more that Watkins used video to decode signs and provided the information in the pregame info. That was his legal job as an advanced scout. The report says 1 player out of 34 interviewed said they saw him amend his pregame report during a game as he was the replay room operator. Manfred notes having an advanced scout also be a replay room operator is kind of a conflict, but a lot of teams do it this way. (gee, I wonder why)

Verdugo has been playing long toss and hitting on his instagram.

This goes against everything that has been coming out of SD since last summer and fall.
The gist of the story says SD isn't interested in dumping Myers with something good unless they have a trade for a star lined up and this is just the Sox kicking the tires.

Need to consider your sources with that dude. That wasn't even the exact quote, and it was about giving immunity for transparency, not for an expected light punishment.

The Athletic article says there are 3 things the Reds are trying to do 1. dump Myers 2. trade for Lindor 3. trade for Senzel. I feel like people are skipping over the fact that for Senzel San Diego would be giving a major return to the Reds, probably the rare prospect for prospect swap. If Bloom can interject himself as a facilitator in trades likes that and squeeze something out of it, awesome. Sure I'd love to have Senzel, but I'm not giving up multiple of Casas / Downs / Devers / Benintendi to do it. San Diego is in a much better position to do a deal like that, I would guess Patino would be involved.
The Athletic also says Senzel getting traded is a "long shot."

What is at stake is the team thinks Betts is walking away next winter, an outcome they find unacceptable, so they are trading him. It boils down to that. Price and the luxury tax are an addition out of opportunity.

Hard to agree to a trade on Friday when on Sunday night the Red Sox had not even asked the two teams for final offers imo.

JD's AAV changed when he opted in, it's $23.75.

Is Verdugo defensively sort of a a poor man's JBJ? Not great speed but great instincts, and very strong arm? Could play RF in 2020 and then CF when we re-sign Mookie? Based on the statcast 'jump' metric
Verdugo: good reaction, good burst, poor route, overall 39th/98
Bradley: amazing reaction, average burst, bad route, overall 19th/98

Anyone else think that most of the leaks are coming from the San Diego side? Like the Red Sox haven't let out any rumors on who they were looking at for GM and now manager all off-season, yet now the franchise's other massive decision is being played out this publicly? Color me skeptical. It's also why I refuse to believe that these rumored packages are what the deal ends up looking like. We'll see. Speier's had thew biggest piece of news from the whole thing so far, SD willing to offer more than the Goldschmidt package.

Chris, do you know how the math would work around a potential Myers acquisition in terms of calculating his CBT number if the Padres were to pay half of his remaining $64 million over the next three years? I've looked everywhere to try and figure it out, but can't seem to find a straight answer.
$13.83-(Padres subsidy divided by 3)
So if they kicked in $30 it would knock Myers' AVV down $10 to $3.83.

Sounds like a super utility role of some sort for Chavis and Mitch keeping 1B warm for Dalbec.

Do Price and Martinez really command so little return—be it through financial relief or prospects—that we are actually going to trade a potential homegrown lifer-legend? Guys like Mookie are the ones for whom big market franchises should budget their resources. Ugh! The Red Sox have a perfectly fine budget for signing Mookie Betts... he just does not agree to their valuation. They are not offering him "all they have remaining," they are offering him what they think he is worth, and there is a 100 million difference of opinion. If they thought that next winter his price would come down and that he would re-sign if they were close or even the top bid I doubt these trade negotiations are happening. If Mookie is traded it is because they believe he was walking next winter, period.

Speier says talks are real and ongoing As possible names he mentions young MLBers: Trent Grisham, Jake Cronenworth, Cal Quantrill, Joey Lucchesi, Michel Baéz. Top 100 prospect: Luis Campusano. The 35th overall pick in the draft.

McCaffrey reported tonight Cal Quantrill has been in the trade talks, which is interesting. Also mentions Margot.

The Sox would still be competitive without Betts and they have shown this winter they aren't "all-in" or as "competitive" as they could be. If the Sox get an offer they deem acceptable for him, and if he is still not interested in an extension, they will move him, in my opinion. If he somehow decides to sign, great, but my guess right now is in the end we are going to feel like the best play would have been the Group of 4 should have traded him for the best offer after the World Series and then hired Bloom and let him have a full winter with flexibility and no blood on his hands.

Brock Holt is four years younger and more versatile, so he should outpace this easily. Holt is 2 years, 6 months younger.

His sinker is in the 3rd percentile in spin rate, has only 1" "vertical movement", and has 9" horizontal run. Pretty elite sinker peripherals. 54 balls in play, only 2 barrels. Worth getting into the pitching lab as the 40th man.

They don't need to get under the luxury tax. We know if they do they will save ~$100M over the next few years. And here in reality that matters to incredibly smart businessmen like John Henry and other sports owners.
