If we're deciding between JD's, my vote is for Jefferson Davis Hogg

Or maybe J.D. Power and Associates.

I don't care about J.D. Power so much, but I'm intrigued by his Associates.

Ed Lynch earned a J.D. after his retirement. University of Miami. Donn Clendenon completed his at Duquesne University after starting at Harvard.

That cover art would look good on a "This game is now available for Schaefer voting" graphic. (Sadly, there are no openings.)

J.D. Davis has just decided to sign with the A's.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.

I was leaning toward Davis, but now I'd Judiciously Decline. JD Martinez just seems like the kind of signing Brodie Van Wagenen would do, and it would blow up in our faces. He's been good a long time, but the Mets have a knack for catching good ballplayers just as they fall off a cliff. Stearns seems to not want to spend a lot of Unka Steve's money this winter, so if this is a 'let the kids play' season, JDM doesn't make a lot of sense.
Even duct tape can't fix stupid. But it can sure muffle the sound.

I can't be bitter with the guy. When you get a chance to play for Oakland, you do it.

The guy probably figured that if he's gong to have his 2024 salary slashed from an anticipated $7.5M down to about 1/3 of that it would help
him tighten his belt to his new budget if he didn't also have to pay a moving company to haul his stuff across the country.

He can just keep all his stuff in the upper deck of the Coliseum. It's safe up there

Joel Sherman wrote:The Mets were a finalist, according to a source, but Davis picked the A’s to a large extent because he will be a free agent after this season and wanted assured regular time. That the Mets could not guarantee that reflects that Stearns is sticking with this plan and wants more information and certainty with Baty and Vientos.

Right? You have a decent chance at being the immortal answer to the trivia question "who made the last out of the last major league game ever played in Oakland?"
