The biggest likely source of microplastics in California coastal waters? Our car tires
Driving is not just an air pollution and climate change problem — turns out, it just might be the largest contributor of microplastics in California coastal waters.
“No one had looked at all the water rushing off the streets during rainfall events to see whether that had plastics in it...That makes all that driving we do something to think about, not just in the Bay Area, but any setting where there are cars.”
“...It’s about individual behavior change, it’s about more corporate responsibility. Together, we can make a big change.”

Tourist sites and natural attractions earmarked for #parking fees. "Tourist buses (and cars) that come thundering up and down our #roads all day, every day, don't pay anything, but our ratepayers cover it, so it's about bringing in some balance”

Yahoo! Sports - November 29, 2022 | By Zach Crizer
“His 2023 guarantee is almost certain to fall between Kyle Schwarber’s $10 million 2021 deal and the $18 million arbitration projection — teams will mostly be pitching him on how they can help him help them.”

#Steamer 2023 forecasted WAR (via #FanGraphs):
#Thompson 1.9
#Bellinger 1.7
#CT 1.6
#Gallo 1.1
Nimmo is about the only option I see out there that can be an upgrade in CF. Maybe Haniger or Benintendi. (I guess also Judge, but I don't see the #Dodgers signing him.)
Kiermaier is a brutal hitter. It's scary to think how bad he'd be in Dodger Stadium.
#Nimmo 4.7
#Benintendi 2.3
#Haniger 2.1
#Kiermaier 1.1
Good lists here:

These are the Dodgers' biggest needs entering '23
MLB.com - November 25, 2022 | By Juan Toribio
"The deal to bring back Clayton Kershaw hasn’t been made official, but there’s no need to worry -- that’s going to happen soon. Kershaw will be a Dodger next season, but Los Angeles still needs to add at least another quality starter to the rotation."

124 followers · 302 posts · Server mastodon.world@ReneeDechert I really hope the #Dodgers bring back #Bellinger, but there are a lot of teams that can use him. I think they made a mistake non-tendering him.
