Gary David isn't a baseball player; he's the guy from whom your company buys toner. He lives in a semi-detached home in an unfashionable suburb and his marriage is heading toward a mostly acrimony-free divorce. Gary David is sick of people asking if he is Larry David's cousin.

I feel that he also has a moustache and wears short-sleeve dress shirts.

Has a substantial collection of novelty ties, but can never summon the courage to wear one to work.

Saw this genius comment in the comment section of s Sportsnet.ca article in the Martinez signing:

do the small market minds realize that there are other positions on a baseball roster beside shortstop? Its becoming an all to obvious fetish

Another guy:

Javier Perdomo, lhp, Venezuela

So far, 7 of the 9 guys the Jays have signed have been from Venezuela.

Mostly because his wife disapproves. However, he's recently procured a bottle of sriracha that he hides in his desk and (discretely) uses to supplement his bag-lunch sandwich, which he finds empowering.

Boom! I literally began a google search to find this image of Michael Douglas/William Foster/Gary David, but began to think I was the only one in on the joke... Well done! Great movie too.

Is there anyone else we are rumoured to sign with our additional 2018 monies we got in the trades? When does "Extra Cash" expire? Prior to the start of 2019 IFA date?

It expires when it rolls over to the 2019 IFA period, as far as I am aware.

As far as what we're doing with it, no clue. Most/all of the top prospects signed long ago, but it probably gives us first dibs is some 16 year old in the Dominican suddenly sees a velo spike, or if a youngster comes over from Cuba, etc.

Doesn't give us a a big time frame, IFA 2019 period starts on July 2nd, so that gives us 2 months?
