Buying high on middling 30 year olds. Cheap. No plan. Settling. Reacting.

Are they Turning Japanese
Per Jon Heyman of the New York Post and MLB Network, the Red Sox are among many teams in on Imanaga after they opted to pass on bringing back Eduardo Rodriguez.
Heyman also noted Boston is in the mix for Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
The Athletic's Will Sammon reported on Wednesday that seven teams are still in the bidding for Yamamoto. The Red Sox weren't among the clubs named in the report, but it was noted there are two "unidentified" teams.
The New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets, San Francisco Giants and Toronto Blue Jays were the teams identified by Sammon.
While most analysts anticipate Yamamoto will sign a deal worth at least $200 million, The Athletic's Jayson Stark noted it wouldn't be a surprise if the price tag ends up getting to $300 million.
Shoto Imanaga The 30-year-old left-hander is a two-time All-Star in Nippon Professional Baseball with the Yokohama DeNA BayStars. He led the Central League with 174 strikeouts and had a 2.80 ERA in 22 appearances last season.

Charlie Baker saves sports
NCAA President Charlie Baker proposed a plan to create a new tier within Division I college athletics. The groundbreaking proposal gives participating schools autonomy over name, image, and likeness (NIL) decisions and initiates a “long-overdue conversation” about the existing framework for compensating student-athletes.
Schools would be required to invest a minimum of $30,000/year per athlete for at least half of all eligible student-athletes into an “enhanced educational trust fund,” which by most accounts seems like a regular trust fund.
Student-athletes would be allowed to enter NIL deals directly with their schools rather than a third party.
Baker’s proposed new tier pertains to “the highest-resourced colleges and universities,” understood to mean the Big Ten, Big 12, SEC, and ACC, which contain the largest and wealthiest athletic programs in the US. A new subdivision just for those schools could alleviate headaches around transfer limits, scholarships, and, most importantly, NIL rules.
The NCAA is going through it. It’s embroiled in multiple legal disputes, including an antitrust lawsuit that could require it to pay billions in damages to student-athletes. There are also talks within the industry of a looming Great Split, in which the Power Five conferences (soon to be Power Four) would secede from the NCAA to form their own organization.—CC
