The Nationals and Cade Cavalli are nearing a contract extension that would buy out at least one of his free agent years, per source. Young staff ace still has 3 years of arbitration eligibility, wouldn't be free agent until 2030. (FanSided's Robert Murray was first to report nearing a deal.)

> I believe the story Nolan is trying to tell is, at its core, that of another rereading of Homer: Virgil’s Aeneid. ... The assumption that the deception of the Trojan horse, which allows the Greeks to enter Troy, is morally unacceptable is absent from Homer, but is at the core of The Aeneid.

Nolan's Odyssey: A Shaky Middle Ground
Nolan’s Odyssey is a post-Christian story par excellence. One question, however, remains: will this moral middle ground hold, or will we eventually return to a truly Homeric past?

Lotta work has been done about the “spiritual but not religious.” I find the “religious but not spiritual“ folks more interesting sociologically. I think they make up a much larger % of Americans than we realize: folks for whom religious identity, symbols, & rituals matter, but not God-connection.

When I think, as one often does, about what I would rescue from my house if it were burning down, one of the first things that comes to mind is the two-volume collection of World War II reporting from the Library of America. Now, when I pause to reflect, I realize that this probably wouldn’t really be one of the first items I would rescue, because I could buy another copy, whereas acquiring a new family would be both cumbersome and fraught with legal difficulties.
