@WilsonCompanies @thehvacjack Trucks are very expensive as I was a partner in one that was oilfield centric. It requires significant capital.

@TheAstrosLocker Alvarez's salary is criminal. And for that matter, so are Imai's and Meyer's.

@Grok says the following: The holes in Passan’s post are pretty clear once you line it up against the reporting from the WSJ, LA Times, Bloomberg, and others.
He starts by saying he has “no evidence – and no other media member has reported any – that the Dodgers did anything that ran afoul of the CBA.” That is a narrow framing. The actual issue the government is looking at is not a CBA violation on the team side. It is whether Mark Walter’s insurance companies (Delaware Life and Clear Spring) funneled policyholder money into affiliated businesses he controlled, including ones tied to the Dodgers ecosystem, while mismarking those investments as unaffiliated. Delaware Life had to restate its affiliated investments from roughly $1.4 billion (about 3 percent) to more than $17 billion (around 40 percent). That is not a “procedural question.” That is the core of the probe into potential fraud and improper related-party lending.
Passan says the government is focused more on the “mismanagement of affiliated investments and the web of companies under Guggenheim’s umbrella – than anything specifically related to the Dodgers.” Reporting shows specific ties. There is a $4.1 million loan to Dodger Tickets LLC that Delaware Life listed as unaffiliated. The same insurance companies were used in the original 2012 Dodgers purchase structure, which a 2014 class-action lawsuit already alleged involved more than a billion dollars in policyholder funds treated as a “cash machine.” The current probe is looking at the same playbook: loans routed through intermediaries (ABS Capital, Amistad Financial, Bradford Allen, Hudson Trading) to businesses Walter controlled. The Dodgers’ local TV rights debt was monetized with Walter-owned insurers. That is not zero connection.
He says he has “no idea how the money they received from selling the debt on their TV network, for example, was used,” so he will not suggest any impact on the team. That is a convenient dodge. The whole advantage the Dodgers have been credited with (massive deferred contracts, ability to outspend everyone) sits inside the same financial ecosystem that is under investigation. When the owner’s insurance companies are the source of cheap capital that other owners do not have access to in the same way, and those companies are now restating billions in related-party exposure, it is reasonable to ask whether that capital was artificially cheap or improperly sourced. Passan previously called the Dodgers the team that “cracked the system” and “print cash.” The investigation is examining exactly how that cash was printed.
The Mets comparison is weak. The Mets spent big and missed. That does not prove every other owner could have done what the Dodgers did if they simply wanted to. Other owners do not control insurance companies holding tens of billions in policyholder money that can be routed into sports assets while being marked as unaffiliated. That is not just “access to cash.” It is a specific structure that is now under federal scrutiny for potential fraud.
Passan ends by saying any suggestion that the investigation into one business automatically ties into another is just people fitting facts to a pre-made conclusion, “with zero hard evidence.” The hard evidence is the restated filings, the grand jury subpoenas, the FBI seizing Walter’s phone and laptop, the intermediary companies, the specific Dodgers-linked entities that were misclassified, and the historical pattern from the 2012 purchase that regulators previously examined. None of that is invented by fans. It is in the regulatory filings and the WSJ/Bloomberg reporting.
No one has been charged. The team has not been accused of breaking the CBA. But claiming the Dodgers side is cleanly walled off, and that any concern about the source of their financial edge is pure assumption, does not match what the reporting actually shows. The money, the structure, and the owner are the same web.

@BigOnBasketball Fisher is a dick. He could have shown some grace but he is a pompous asshole.

If you would be so incline, how much of your growth was attributable to acquisitions versus organic growth through improved processes, efficiencies, etc.? I acquired my current business in 2020 doing $4 million. My growth has not been as robust. So I am curious. Thanks in advance.

@brianmctaggart Isn’t this what began the downfall? Bagwell and Crane believing they could oversee baseball operations?

1. Comma splice: “Try exercising your critical thinking skills, I know you studied psych.”
→ Should be a period or semicolon: “skills. I know…”
2. “do ya research”
→ “ya” is incorrect; it should be “your”: “do your research”
3. Another comma splice / run-on: “…speaking on “white privilege”, do ya research on that one.”
→ Needs a period or stronger break after the quotation.
4. Missing preposition: “I actually went to school, one of the top universities might I add”
→ Should be “went to school at one of the top universities, might I add”
5. Awkward/nonstandard phrasing: “I’m the LAST thing from ignorant or asinine”
→ Standard English would be something like “I’m the furthest thing from being ignorant or asinine” or “I’m far from ignorant or asinine”

I am autodidactic as it relates to coding. I know enough to be dangerous but I am far from a tech savy person. I have utilized Claude Code to great success to accomplish coding projects. But I just used Grok Build on a project and wow. The speed and ability to take my inputs and write the code was impressive.
