MLB baseball players took steps to try replace the union's deputy executive director tonight
ESPN:
The move by players came amid an offseason that has seen a billion-dollar decrease in spending by major league teams and the extended free agency of World Series standout Jordan Montgomery and reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell
...
More than one-third of the $2.9 billion in free-agent spending this winter went to two players: a record $700 million for Shohei Ohtani -- $680 million of which is deferred for a decade -- and $325 million for Yoshinobu Yamamoto, both with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Two historic financial behemoths, the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, committed less than $50 million to free agents. Eight teams -- the Oakland, Baltimore, Washington, Tampa Bay, Minnesota, Miami, Cleveland and Colorado -- guaranteed less than $15 million.
Good images of tonight's SpaceX launch
My mind is blown. Just saw it heading up over Southern California on its way to orbit. Wow. 🤯 https://t.co/luGohqyobZ pic.twitter.com/jjNYcGx3QA

And speaking of space photography:
By using two cameras and two telescopes, I created this highly detailed composite photo of the moon adrift in the clouds.

Combining multiple photos allows the image to convey a similar level of dynamic range as our eyes, something cameras don’t do very well. pic.twitter.com/esSBYNMEnY
Today's news and jokes
I know there's going to be a selection bias when I'm getting info/feedback largely from dedicated fan pages but everyone swore they spent hours talking to this thing and it was their "favorite part" and it makes me feel crazy

Oh wow, I actually did read a press release that the character wasn't guaranteed for all trips, but you're the first I've heard confirm they didn't have it. If it was available on your trip the employee would've pointed it out in your room tour so you wouldn't have missed it

Funny article about "Jon Dowd," the imaginary character added to MVP Baseball 2005 when Barry Bonds refused to license his likeness
It was an honor to pitch on the day that Barry Bonds got his number retired. Maybe next year I can pitch the night Jon Dowd gets his number retired!

The roller coaster Nemesis Reborn has a cool animated eye
Nemesis Reborn is everything I hoped it would be. Even gleaned a fair few Lord Loss influences from quite a few parts of the coaster's themed experience 😜 (1) pic.twitter.com/vSfi108tG3
