Interesting, Andújar's $1.525M salary is guaranteed, so Pirates would be tied to that if he clears waivers. However, that commitment makes it more likely he clears. As a player with 3+ YOS, he could decline the outright assignment, but would forgoe his guarantee. Seems unlikely.

Finished a relisten (I'm a Monday morning QB when it comes to pods), and the almost living eulogy at times (thanks guys!) reminded me of something I am kicking myself I didn't say publicly: All of the support, kind words, DMs and the like over the last few days has truly... 1/2

I am really proud that Jason respected my work enough to want to share a little of my story. I think he did a great job capturing where I'm coming from, so I'd appreciate if you checked it out and follow along--if you aren't already.

"I can’t tell you if there’s a God, but I can tell you how many options a player has.” ... You've probably seen @EthanHullihen on Twitter and followed his detailed work with Pirates payroll, the CBA and roster moves. How and why does he do it? Read more:

Repeat after me: "Bubba won't be a September call up. He's not Rule 5 eligible yet." If he is, that's really different operating procedure along with Jones and Skenes.

Not the teams, but the draft lottery order/odds are set. Pirates are 8th (but 6th best odds) and get a bump from 3.9 to 5.3% due to the White Sox and A's being ineligible. Lottery is December 10th

No sympathy needed, more of a PSA: My 38 year old brother had a heart attack today. Been having chest pains for a few days apparently, and my parents made him go to the ER even though he didn't want to. Lucky they did, because he was on an operating table less than 20 mins.. 1/

Best of luck to @AlexJStumpf in whatever he moves on to next. Alex has always supported my work--when he could--and I've always enjoyed conversing with him and his coverage of the team.

Stumpf: All good things

I’m going to bury the lede. Sorry. I want to go back to August 2019 for a bit. It was a very frustrating time in my life. I passed my five-year anniversary from graduating college a few months prior...

This is weird, soooooo to change the subject and add some levity... Here is a comic I have saved in my phone that I laugh at any time I look at it. In a cruel twist of fate, it's not signed, so if KnowYourMeme is to be trusted, big shout out to Josh Barkman

I really don't want to get into some kind of online war, that is just not me But I literally said this to my wife and brother like 15 mins ago It's awesome how the community has shared kind words and their appreciation. Makes me feel good to seemingly be valued in that way.

While I'll never apologize for championing simple human decency, I've muted the conversation because I have neither the time or bandwidth. I was bullied, picked on, and one particular incident still sticks with me to this day. Being kind matters to me, and matters period.
