Some trade stuff:
1. Tigers are telling other teams: As of now, they're not selling. The sweep of the Rays will fuel their hope of climbing back into the AL race.
2. The Red Sox are signaling to other teams that not only are they looking to add a right-handed bat, but they're also willing to spend $ to do it.
3. Right now, there is very little relief help available. Clubs looking for bullpen additions say even the worst teams won't talk bullpen swaps... yet.
@Nomadhidinghere Scott Boras and a few other agents have a disproportionate amount of influence on the executive committee, and therefore on the negotiations. This is really owners vs Scott Boras and Friends.
🚨 NEW: Fox’s @BritHume CALLS OUT fired CBS host Scott Pelley: “I’ve worked in this TV news business for more than half a century and I’ve worked for many different bosses, many I liked and admired, and a few I did not. But I’ve always found a way to work with every one of them as best I could.”
“I never thought myself as some great guardian of journalistic integrity who wasn’t open to the ideas of others who I might at first disagree. And I’ve never had a problem finding a way to do the work in a way to please me and whatever boss I had - or at least satisfy them.”
“These 60 Minutes correspondents, led by Scott Pelley, seem to think they are the guardians of journalistic integrity. But it’s worth remembering how that show works.”
“Like all these TV magazine shows, as prominent as the correspondents who narrate on cameras seem to be, these shows are producer driven and these correspondents become famous largely because of the good work of producers who do the interviews, writing, supervise the shooting and editing of the pieces. The correspondents get to become big stars that way on a show that has the best lead-in on TV - the NFL on Sundays.”
“So these people are a little self-important to say the least.”
@MarketPalmer_ I work in the industry, have for over 40 years. Constant refinement to build higher performing parts at lower costs, increasingly simple designs, and moving to lower cost countries. It’s a scale driven business that runs on razor thin margins, it’s all about moving more units.
@ClayTravis It has nothing to do with “giving Trump credit”.
The stock market is now totally disconnected from everyday reality for most.
The unemployment rate doesn’t account for underemployment of young people and the struggle to stay employed after 50.
And food prices have tripled.
