All of those pitchers the Royals had been calling up regressed, and I know Keith Law months back talked about how it had to be something with the major league pitching coaching staff because several of them fell off of a cliff

So the Jays are in a lot better position going into this offseason as compared to last. All the key pieces are in place, they're not facing any huge losses like they did with Ray and Semien, and so they can focus entirely on adding.
They’ll probably be better next year

Berrios had a weird year and I would hope he can turn it around

The Angels mid season farm system ranking was also #30 so it's not like they have a lot of talent in the pipe works. Rumor is Moreno may try to sell the team and if that's the case they aren't gonna be doing anything until that happens.
It’s not a rumor, the team has confirmed it

It’s probably why Phil Nevin was extended for a year

Jose Ramirez is having surgery on one of his hands that he put off midseason because it would have cost him significant playing time this year. He's expected to be back for ST.

No I mean the Ricketts used to have a panel at the convention where they'd take fan questions. But during the '19 convention where the Cubs not only didn't even kick the tires on Harper, but did absolutely nothing with their biggest signing being Daniel Descalso, Tom got heckled by the audience after he cried poor as the reason for why they didn't make bigger moves. After that they canceled the panel and AFAIK it's never come back.
Look, they have a lot of election deniers they have to fund this year, they don't have time for that

Given Lindsey's posting bonafides I'm guessing this is like Arif and a number of others choosing to GTFO of NYT's extremely restrictive social media & social issues policies. At least, hoping it was her choice. But then, cutting back on NYT/Athletic coverage overlap would make sense to shortsighted morons and Lindsey's the easier to drop if that's the goal.
Are they actually under those same social media guidelines? I've seen conflicting things about this.

For whatever issues Boone has as a manager, I don't think they are huge deals. The bigger problem for me is that a team like this is just not going to perform well in the playoffs. You need more guys that get on base at a higher clip and aren't all TTO guys. That falls on Cashman.

I haven't heard much in awhile about Michael Conforto. I think in July/August it was reported that he was looking to try and catch on with a contending team but of course that never happened. I have to assume he's going to try and get some kind of one year 'prove it' deal this offseason.

There isn’t really a big campaign to get him in and his regular numbers (not the more analytical ones) aren’t flashy.

Lou Whitaker is easily one of the best players of his era and he can’t get much support either

For some reason we are still seeing some gaming companies trying to push NFTs like Square Enix, but other than them it’s dead. People quickly figured out that it was just a big pump and dump scam. The only ones who made money were the very early people who sold high to a bunch of rubes
