From Daryl Strawberry to the highest levels of geopolitics, these things are being granted with a logic that is not even being defended.

No.

Not even pretending to defend it.

All of which is to say that the question now is who will Trump pardon next?

Because there are some good candidates on the board.

Yeah, that's right.

Yeah.

Polymarket.

But this is where I do need to note that we have, as of just last week, finally found something resembling a bridge too far.

as Donald Trump told the New York Times in a big interview Wednesday that Diddy Sean Combs wrote a letter to him seeking a pardon.

But Trump is not considering granting their request.

The betting line on Glenn Maxwell, meanwhile, did not come up.

But speaking of gambling on everything, there is one more candidate, one more potential pardon client for this administration that I needed to talk to Brace about.

in order to bring us back to where we started.

This might be insulting.

Do you know who Pete Rose is?

He is, like Daryl Strawberry, a guy who, if he was alive, could text an emoji as his signature.

At the time of his death in September 2024 at age 83, Pete Rose was not only Major League Baseball's all-time hit king.

Pete Rose, of course, was the guy who got banned by the sport for betting on baseball while managing the Cincinnati Reds, although he's always maintained that he never bet against his team.

But he's also, notably, here, the guy who spent five months in prison after pleading guilty to tax evasion in 1990.
