I had lunch at the Scottsdale Airport today and wondered if this was you?

---

Lmao! That power ball didn't hit brother

You ever eat at Sugar Jam over by the airport? That place has an awesome breakfast

Ate there Friday a week ago. I had catfish and grits. Guy sitting next to me at the bar had grits with fried chicken and shrimp. I'm definitely getting that next time. You better watch where you park though because the business next door will tow you if one tread of your tire is in front of their space.

The place at the airport is Volanti and it was fun sitting on the patio overlooking the runway watching the rich and famous come and go.

Drove by TPC Scottsdale and the construction of the venues looks nearly done.

We ate there 4 years ago when we were in town for spring break on our way to Barrett Jackson. I had some sort of biscuit breakfast bowl with brisket that was incredible.

This is a great place to visit and even better place to live.

Sorry for the thread derail.

I already lived there from 2005-2007. Wife's an ASU grad.

Didn't wanna raise a family there but love to visit. Great state.

Any update on any movement with free agents? Would like to get an outfield bat still and maybe an extra arm for cheap

On May 21, 2021, Tyler Ivey made his major-league debut in his hometown. Twelve months later, he quit baseball altogether.

Now, Ivey is embarking on a comeback. Here is his story — of why he left the game and what is now drawing him back - https://t.co/mpdICSfnyi

I remember watching him in person at Olsen field for his debut freshmen year in 2016. He looked so good and I thought he was the next sure fire Aggie ace

I'd be curious to hear y'all's opinions but let's say all 29 teams (excluding the Astros) offered you personally right now a 10 year 300 MM deal… where would you sign and want to play for?

I'd probably go Boston for baseball purposes. Also San Diego would be nice on a personal level with having great weather, scenery, and family fun stuff to do.

Arizona or Colorado Without hesitation

You guys would really like to spend 10 years on a perennial 70-win team? Colorado is a great place, but you'd be there knowing the chances of sniffing October baseball are slim.

Both franchises have made the world series in last 15ish years. And the location to me is so so superior to others imo.

Yankees are out on Sasaki they’ve been told @JackCurryYES on it

I'll be shocked if he's not on the left coast.

Yeah but in my world, I'm 10x the player Ohtani is. Hits 50+ HRs/season and average 20 wins/yr on the mound. I'm just being franchise friendly with the money so those teams can add more pieces. We're going to play October baseball when I'm there

Damaged goods.

Jeff Hoffman failed a physical with the Braves as well as the Orioles before signing with the Blue Jays, per @mlbbowman https://t.co/qXedtgIWHg

New @SFGiants Justin Verlander on his time in w/ the #Astros & now joining the Giants. “I’ve had a phenomenal ride with Houston, it’s been a helluva chapter in my career…really last year left a sour taste in my mouth, not with the organization, just with myself.” pic.twitter.com/aMMTrzQdCE

Correa is in the same boat, with failed physicals.

The finalists for Japanese star right-hander Roki Sasaki are the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres and Toronto Blue Jays, sources tell ESPN. Sasaki will decide on his team by the closing of his posting window Jan. 23.

Most likely.
