I mean I guess we don’t *have* to take on anyone, but still, it’s a free body on the roster ready to step in if we need. I don’t see why we wouldn’t choose to take advantage.

I got bored and found something good (or at least kinda good) that every team currently leads the league in. Apologies in advance to the White Sox and Athletics, who apparently lead baseball in absolutely nothing.

And now (almost) everybody has something to be kinda happy about.

Does anyone know when away jerseys might drop?

I already have the inaugural jersey, and I want to get one with a player name, but as part of my personal rules for my jersey collection, I can’t repeat jersey variants. As a result, I can’t get any of the ones currently on sale since they’re the same variant as the inaugural.

Y’all these uniforms are actually SO FIRE irl 😭🙏🏽🔥
