Happy to see it's Friday as we're in one of the first full weeks of this new year.

Last night I made my debut as a basketball broadcaster, doing some play-by-play for the livestream of the Potter County Battlers JV game. I suspect I'll do some varsity games, too, as the year goes on, but a JV game was a good way to make my first attempt. I don't know how good I was, but I had a lot of fun doing it.
What has the Harris Family been up to? Still flinging clothes at Target?
Target isn't a sponsor, so I can't answer that for you.
Just curious, are you familiar with a sports broadcaster named Joe VanGoor?
Yes. I've never met him, but he was the sports director at WNAX for a while, then moved to a station in Vermillion. He has done USD football and basketball, although I don't think he's doing them now. Do you know him?
He's an old college buddy, we rushed him for our fraternity. He never actually joined but he came to all the parties and hung out at the house a lot.
Cool. I always enjoyed his broadcasts.
Lisa Marie Presley, Robbie Bachman (Bachman Turner Overdrive) both died yesterday. Along with a Pointer Sister and Andrew Sister, VJs could do a whole week of RIP entries.
Ex-Twin Randy Bass has been elected to the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame.
Bjhess alert! He was an absolute stud for his OOTP squad. Led the league in WAR three times.
He had started his decline, but helped me win a series in my first year '83. Too bad a series has not been in my cards since. 🙁
Pirates get McCutchen.
Kyle Farmer and Royce Lewis will be the righty outfield options I guess.
Contracts for everyone, but no pre-arbitration contract for Luis yet; I gotta think they're working out an extension
Sources confirms the Twins have agreed to a contract extension with Chris Paddack. Three-year deal for the pitcher, who is coming off Tommy Johh. @twinsdaily had it first.
Let's see if WordPress will expand the prior tweet as well. If not, base salary is $12.5 million.
There is also a potential for upwards of $2.5m in player bonuses. Earlier today, Chris Paddack's agent Scott Boras and the Twins agreed to avoid arbitration at $2.4m.

In other news, Twins floating a Kepler plus others, but not Arraez, trade for López.
Gilberto Celestino?
