Highest reported offer isn't always the most money. Local taxes come into play, for one thing.

Don’t you love the assholes online that mock people for things such as announcing their pronouns, and then demand that they educate them on why it matters? Like, if you really wanted to learn, go out and read about it, Sparky. You’ve already told on yourself by telling me it’s MY job to teach you.

I had someone pull that shit on me two weeks ago ... saying I was "pandering" by listing my pronouns. Buddy, if eight characters in my bio (which you should never see unless you go to my profile page - it's not on my tweets) bother you that much, YOU have a problem.
Casey

Do you have any venison recipes?
Keith Law
1:57
I do not eat any red meat other than pork.
Tim

Does Bryant win his grievance which was blatantly obvious to anyone at the time. How could a trade be completed without knowing how much control the acquiring team has?
Keith Law
1:58
I don't think he wins because I don't see what evidence he could use to support the contention that the Cubs held him down solely to manipulate his service time. You and I know it's true, but how do you prove that?

I play fantasy baseball with with many great owners from all over the world and its great to see MLB heading back to London again in 2020.  Have you heard if MLB wants to expose baseball in other markets worldwide?
Keith Law
1:58
I have, but I don't think anything is locked in yet.

Is Elehuris a candidate for your top 100 again? Just looking at the stats it seems like he took a step back this year?
Keith Law
2:00
Look at the stats and where they came. They jumped him two levels (why?) and he wasn't ready, plus he missed more than half the year with injury. It's a lost season but I wouldn't say he regressed.
Monica Lewinsky
2:00
Can we impeach Mitch McConnell???
Keith Law
2:00
Matt Bevin just pardoned a man convicted of beheading his wife. Maybe we should ask the voters of Kentucky what they've been thinking.
Mark

Just made my first Blueberry pie. I was thinking afterwards it might have come out better if I had cooked the fruit before filling the pie. What say you ?
Keith Law
2:01
No, you may have needed more starch to thicken it.
Eric

Just how disgusted are you at the Jonah Keri situation. I hope his family is safe, and that they don;'t have to deal with those monstrous allegations anymore.
Keith Law
2:02
It's beyond words. I wasn't friends with Jonah, but even knowing I worked alongside him at times makes my skin crawl. Also, why does the court keep releasing him on these trivial bonds, even after he contacted the victim in violation of a court order? How many charges does it take to at least require him to pay more in bail?

Assuming that ownership signs off on the extra money (a big if), Oakland should absolutely jump on Jed Lowrie just for getting Dom Smith, am I right? Dom Smith seems undervalued to me.
Keith Law
2:03
Not sure he's a good fit for Oakland with Olson there, but I agree that some team should pounce on that. Smith could be someone's regular at 1b. Maybe Baltimore?
Anon

Hey Keith. I think I've needed treatment for a while; I don't sleep or eat well, I'm extremely irritable and moody, and I have constant plaguing thoughts about my state of mind and future. But the issue is I don't know what kind of professional I should seek. Psychologist? Therapist? ...psychotherapist? Any insight would help. Thank you.
Keith Law
2:04
You could start with your primary care doctor - that's how I started after I had that panic attack while driving. She helped me figure out what treatment I needed.
Ridley

With Brexit looking inevitable and Scoex...Scexi...Scotland leaving the UK looking likely, I'm seriously considering it as a landing place.  Have you ever been to Scotland? Any thoughts on it as a place to live?
Keith Law
2:04
I worry about my inability to communicate with the locals.
Kevin
2:04
Where do you expect Ronny Mauricio to begin his 2020? And do you think he sticks at short?
Keith Law
2:04
Definitely sticks at short. Probably starts in high-A.
Steve
2:04
I know its not the popular decision but doesnt it make sense to consolidate the amount of minor league teams??
Keith Law
2:06
Yes. Note that the minors themselves have no problems moving teams around - 80+ relocations since 1990 - but when MLB suggests it, it's like they're pissing on the flag. Many of those markets can't support baseball, or don't have the facilities needed. Meanwhile, you have amazing spots like Aberdeen only used about half of the season when they could and should be in a higher classification. We could debate one or two specific locations, but the majority of those on the public list need to go.
2:07
Also, you can't say in one breath that you want minor leaguers to be paid more, and then object to a plan that would result in better working conditions for players.
Mick
2:07
I read Vandy Austin Martin will get a shot at short. Can he hold that position all the way to the majors?
Keith Law
2:07
I'd like to see it. He was ++ at third when I last saw him.
Van Skike
2:07
I never saw your thoughts on the new Beck album... I was disappointed
Keith Law
2:07
I was too.
Mark
2:07
How could the Veterans committee have blown it so badly with Lou Whitaker?
Keith Law
2:07
Call me when the Hall manages to find a writer or executive of color for one of their committees.
Ray
2:08
Did you see this female reporter who got her butt smacked by a man while she was on air? The insane thing to me is once the guy was identified, there was a very vocal minority online yelling “Leave him alone - he has kids!” I mean, what in the actual F?
Keith Law
2:08
Yeah, and he claimed he didn't know where he was hitting her. He should be charged with assault. Fuck every man who thinks that is okay.
Rahn
2:08
If you're Ben Cherington, who gets moved out in your plan to improve the Pirates?
Keith Law
2:08
I'd shop Marte immediately.
2:09
Take offers on relievers and even on Archer, see if someone else is willing to pay to try to rebuild him.
Jason

Is Mauricio dubon a major league starter
