Hear me out here… He’s also a fucking prick.
Maybe just a prick.
I am really pissed about this release. Who am I going to hate now?
Bellinger, Pedersen, Turner, Fiers, Stanton, Judge, Betts are a couple of suggestions.

How do you feel about Laureano?
I hope they remain at stalemate, Lindor has another mediocre year and then is forever known as the guy that turned down 10 years at $32.5M per.
Edited to add: two immediate benefits come to mind. 1) we get to continue to laugh at the Mets and 2) CC sees that there is indeed risk to overvaluing oneself.

A baseball reporter (don’t remember who) said that on Twitter this morning. Would’ve been a huge black eye.
I didn’t know that offering the ball back to the pitcher afer he drills you in the ribs was frowned upon.
"The baseball is really hard. And I think it got a rib and probably ticked him off,” said Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright, who was replaced by Woodford. “You never offer the ball back to the pitcher though, that’s tired. He should know better than that.”
According to Wainwright, simply having the audacity to show up and oppose him is a crime against the game. So…
