THAT’S THE WAY I SAW IT

BASEBALL TRADES MAKE SENSE TO SOMEONE

There were many baseball trades made this season before the July 31st deadline. The average fan has trouble understanding these trades.

Cleveland trading their catcher and first baseman (possible franchise player) to Boston doesn’t appear to have good judgment.

The prospects obtained in these trades will take a few years to completely evaluate. Many have yet to play in the Major Leagues.

I as well as many fans have trouble figuring out these trades. Watching a player on the field will not always reveal their true worth or their attitude in the clubhouse or the problems this player has caused the club.

It is also difficult to get the real answers (background) from sports writers, sports announcers, and club officials.

In the meantime, I believe it is best to just believe that these trades make sense to someone.

These Strong Female Leads Grapple With Ethics ~ At The Movies With Kasey
On the heels of Women’s History Month, a string of movies dropped that tell the stories of women making changes, both political and personal. Among these projects, I found a couple of movies featuring strong performances and thin plots as well as a gem of a coming-of-age story. On Netflix, Shirley follows the 1972 presidential campaign ...
April Is The 4th Month Of The Year… We Think
The month of April has a variety of titles, meanings, and sayings, and some are contradictory with each other. For example, April is a spring month in the northern half of the world and a fall month in the southern half. The month of April goes way back. Before January and February were added to the ...

Slow & Steady: A Smart Way To Invest
You’ve probably heard stories about fortunate investors who “get in the ground floor” of a new, hot company and quickly make a fortune. But while these things may happen, they are exceedingly rare and often depend on hard-to-duplicate circumstances — and they really don’t represent a viable way of investing for one’s goals. A far ...
Oscar Nominees In Theaters Or At Home ~ At The Movies With Kasey
The close of awards season brings a peculiar moment with few good new movies, but award-winners getting rereleased or hitting streaming platforms. I write from the week before the Academy Awards, but the paper will not come out until afterward, so I am not making predictions about wins. Instead, I want to celebrate some incredible ...
