Show notes

You can donate to the Kyra Fund using this link: https://fundraise.gbmresearch.org/campaign/812889/donate Today’s word of the day is ‘context’ as in the take economy as in misrepresentation as in aggregation as in listening to the actual work, or reading the actual work. I said some things on Wednesday about baseball on radio, and people are upset with me for it. I tried to understand why, and it’s a combination of things. (18:00) There were three stories this week about trades: trades that didn’t happen, trades that were requested, and trades that seemed like a surprise. Tarik Skubal was almost on the Brewers. Instead he was sent to the Dodgers. The Athletic reports that the Tigers had a deal in place and then ghosted the Brewers! (31:30) Jeffery Simmons was traded to the Chicago Bears on Thursday. An All-Pro for two first rounds to the Tennessee Titans. Do these kind of trades work? (41:05) Hockey talk! Dylan Larkin has been suspended without pay by the Detroit Red Wings. Why? He wants out of Detroit. (46:21) NPPOD. (50:00) Review: Backrooms.
