Hey again /r/mls I'm back with part four of the state soccer teams. For those of you seeing this for the first time, I began a project last summer where in a made-up universe, each U.S. state (commonwealth for the people in KY, MA, PA, and VA) had their own state soccer team. I have done Part I revised a few weeks ago, and now I am on to part four!

To get read-up on everything, check out Part 1.

I recently participated as the A’s GM in the 2022 edition of the r/baseball Offseason Sim. Basically, 30 Redditors each take control of a team as their GM and simulate the offseason starting from MLB as things exist following the end of the World Series. We also have Redditors that serve as player agents as well as moderators to keep the sim (relatively) sane and logical.

Coming into the sim, I wanted the A’s because I like to make a a lot of moves and I felt that the A’s had gone as far with their current core as they could. I also lived for a time in the Bay Area, and have a lot of fond memories of the franchise. Way back in the day, I did the 2018 sim as the A’s GM. The A’s missed the playoffs in 2021, have a thin farm, were going to lose several significant contributors in FA, were barely under the $90M budget I was given by the moderators when the offseason began, and many of their most valuable players will be free agents soon. Given those factors, I felt the A’s would be sellers, and the demand in the sim was strong enough that I ended up trading most of the current core. However, I also kept in mind that the A’s have never tanked and have quite explicitly said that they do not feel that tanking is in their best interests.

I think the easiest way to describe my sim is to say that I did a full scale teardown and then rebuilt a team that will be competitive but not good in 2022. Below are the notable moves (there were… a good bit more) I made, grouped into a “Teardown” and a “Restocking” section. The moves are all linked to the move in the sim, so that way you can read my justification as well as any commentary generated by the move. You can also look at my sheet, which has a lot more details about the A’s franchise as I left it.

Teardown

• Traded Lou Trivino & Jake Diekman to the Red Sox for Brayan Bello, Miguel Bleis, & Tyler McDonough

Do your worst!

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Pilot on me!!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.
