A.J. Minter was the first of the Mets’ rental relievers to get dealt, heading to Minnesota for two infield prospects. Neither are fantastic on-field pieces, but both have some level of name ID. Billy Amick is the bigger name across baseball more broadly. A 23-year-old R/R corner infielder, Amick was selected in the 2nd round […]

In director Christopher Nolan’s epic film The Odyssey—currently still dominating theaters near you—the concept of Zeus’s Law is front and center. It states that hosts must welcome travelers with food and shelter in exchange for similar treatment from others.

Mariners Game #113 Preview and Discussion: 8/2/26, Twins at Mariners

I try not to dwell on negative emotions, especially anger and especially about things like baseball that are ostensibly sources of joy for me.
