It's just absolutely accurate. It's so great that Caitlin continues to have this awesome, independent success and also gets recognized by folks like Carlisle for how good she is at this. It's a legitimate gift that Caitlin is still doing this in the public sphere.

Think Brisbane got the best of the imports today out of the three that @OlgunUluc has reported in the last hour or so. Freeman-Liberty will be a very highly successful scorer in the NBL.

It's an all-time general manager flex to be like "we had better players available but we decided not to acquire them" lol.
Ben Cherington said that the Pirates "had access" to players that were ranked higher than who the Yankees offered for David Bednar. They simply preferred this package, receiving No. 8 Yankees prospect Rafael Flores, No. 14 prospect Edgleen Perez and Low-A OF Brian Sanchez.
