But it seems implausible to me the Brewers would replace a 3B (Durbin) making the league minimum and with six years of control remaining with someone like Paredes who’s making $10MM. Makes no sense

She’s apparently pretty unpopular though
it will really be something if the Epstein Files unseat a British Prime Minster who isn't in them, and not the American President who was Epstein's best friend.

I didn’t realize they had come out with their ‘26 rankings.
I’d be really curious to know if the writer had any looks at an NAIA pitcher with zero professional innings under his belt. There’s deep dive and then there’s just bizarre
Who’s the Gabel Pentecost stan out there?
