I found it weird they are sending Linarez now in place of Burrows. Especially with him being a MiLB UFA this offseason.

If him or Yean shove it could put the Pirates in a situation this offseason where a team could outbid them or get them in a bidding war for their next MiLB contract. Those are guys you try to slide under the radar in order to get them inked up for a second contract.

And I know a lot goes into who and why someone is being sent(especially pitcher-wise) but I could think of 5-6 RPs that I would send b4 Linarez. Like Mike Walsh, Bosnic, Harbin, Tomkins, Jimenez and McMillan would’ve been a really good choice as well.

Sometimes these guys have already signed for another year. Sometimes they might sign him based on how he looks in the AFL. Not much transparency on these transactions. Can't do much but wait for the MiL FA list to some out in early November.

Murph...

If someone (not naming names) tried to re-up a paid subscription and was declined. Checked with their bank over the card and they see the request for authorization, accepted, but it was declined on the website's side....

If someone... just sayin' ... might have tried multiple times and, while someone loves you guys, they might REALLY not want to get charged like... three times....

What would someone do? Asking for a friend.

Best thing, honestly, would be talking to someone from the support team. Substack kind of handles everything on that end for me. The only thing I can see is if they are a free or paid subscriber.

I know with some previous issues when it came to credit card info, support has been able to take care of it.

Wish there was more that I can do on my end, would like to be able to handle stuff like this personally, but that's part of using substack
