The Blue Jays, their triple-A affiliate Buffalo Bisons, and their double-A affiliate New Hampshire Fisher Cats are all within this red circle through Thursday. A large asteroid that hits this region would be very devastating for this organization.

My theory is that this whole Whit Merrifield vaccination controversy, his trade, his subsequent slump, and the Blue Jays falling behind 2-1 were all a part of a guerrilla marketing campaign that led to this moment in front of a Moderna ad.

A friend reminded me that Marco Estrada came into the season with 9 years, 35 days. Estrada passed the 10 year mark last week, so good on the A's for holding him past that point. Having 10 years of service qualifies him for the maximum pension.
