Schwarber goes back to Phillies for $150 million! Dodgers make first splash with Edwin Diaz!

Today’s word of the day is ‘unattainable’ as in Kyle Schwarber as in the Pirates as in the Orioles as in the Phillies. Schwarber is back with Philly on a five-year deal. He’s getting $30 million a year as a 32-year old DH. Wow. Let me explain why this happened and why Philly is mad at the Pirates. Edwin Diaz is leaving the Mets for the Dodgers. The Dodgers get stronger. The Mets will now have Devin Williams. Did David Stearns get played? Let’s talk about Scott Boras… again. Review: This Too Shall Pass. Philip Rivers is back! 44-year old QB in the NFL!? The Colts are doing it. NPPOD. It’s a So You Wanna Talk to Samson Wednesday! We start things off with a question about Utah athletics and its new partnership with private equity. Here we go! Paramount made another bid for Warner Bros. This is getting ugly. How high will Paramount go? What will Netflix do? What is going on with the Astros? The team just sold its minor league teams to Diamond Holdings! What does this mean? The White Sox won the draft lottery! The Rockies, the worst team in baseball, was ineligible for the lottery! Why are the Marlins grievances not finished yet? What is baseball waiting for? Chris Paul bobblehead nigh was canceled. Will a new Rays ballpark be done by the start of the 2029 season? No.
