While I’m being told that the Bears announcement on Hammond is “real”,
i.e. not a leverage play, a league source told me that the Bears leaving the state is not a done deal. Per source, Indiana is in the lead right now, but “Illinois can still get back in the race,” granted the state has a lot of ground to make up after not passing legislation that would have insured the Bears property tax certainty.

BREAKING: Third baseman Munetaka Murakami and the Chicago White Sox are in agreement on a two-year, $34 million contract, sources tell ESPN. Murakami, 25, is the single-season home run champion in Japan and will bring his prodigious power to a rebuilding White Sox team.
I wake up to a shitload of people ruing the Dodgers for "breaking" baseball when they have broken no rules. As weird as it sounds, I don't blame the Dodgers for the rot in baseball.
I blame the Twins. The team that did jack shit for two straight years after their best season in decades, nuked the team from orbit due to inexplicably being $425 million in debt, then had ownership pat itself on the back and say they weren't selling the team at all.
I blame the Athletics. Sandbagging for years to get out of Oakland, using that city as a springboard to become a soulless tourist trap in Las Vegas, play in a minor league stadium for several years, then immediately spend the most they've ever done on a free agent once they moved.
I blame the Marlins. Who, despite an admittedly impressive season, have blown up the franchise five times in thirty years.
I blame the Pirates. An ineptly run shitpile featuring completely unnecessary scandals involving a Clemente wall decal and Bucco Bricks found in a landfill.
I blame the Rockies. The nepo team built on incompetence and one gigantic bar disguised as a stadium. The ones who wisely spent their money on an oft-injured Kris Bryant (after paying $50 million to make their franchise face at the same position go away).
I blame the Angels. A franchise that exists to waste generational talents and is so deathly afraid of the luxury tax they'll do anything to avoid it.
And there's more too. No, the Dodgers aren't a primary cause of baseball's rot. They're merely a symptom.

Americans want a free, easy way to file their taxes. Trump and Musk want to take it away.
Why? Because Direct File stops giant tax prep companies from ripping off taxpayers. And the Trump agenda is all about making our government work for big corporations, not working people.
