@jcmccaffrey Minor league position players don't need to report until Thursday. Marcelo Mayer got here two weeks ago. He said today he's excited to get his spring underway. Added 12 lbs this offseason too.

He's a liar. https://jordanbean.medium.com/analyzing-mlb-attendance-and-temperature-6cb2b1af2bd4 https://eda.seas.gwu.edu/showcase/2020-Spring/mlb_attendance.html https://towardsdatascience.com/predicting-mlb-game-attendance-c36cdc1b8de6

It would be nice if we could actually talk about baseball rather than the owners vs players drama. Maybe someday...
-
No. July is typically MLB's best attendance month. Summer vacation. Good weather. Maybe tv viewership is a little higher in April?

@jcmccaffrey Alex Cora is here at minor league camp. Said he’s been impressed with the shape Mayer and Yorke are in. Has been keeping an eye on lefty Chris Murphy. Interesting note about Murphy in that he has an ok chance to see MLB games this year.
-
No, it's the same thing exact thing as the entertainment industry. More than 2/3's of players to appear in MLB make minimum or less.
-
Very weird list when you are adding Kavadas, Binelas, Bonaci, Lugo, McDonough, Bleis, Rafaela, Decker. These aren't 40 man guys. Most of them aren't close to helping this team in 22 or 23.
-
Owners don't want to meet in the middle. They haven't really moved off their CBT amount at all. Players have already made a ton of concessions.
-
The owners chose a lockout and then sat on their hands for weeks and weeks and weeks before even meeting with the players. They still get the lion share of the blame IMO.
-
Any baseball draft of teenagers is a big time crapshoot. I think teams like the Yankees would still have an advantage as they have a bigger international scouting footprint.
-
Players were willing to start 2022 under the old CBA, the owners weren't.
-
NBA ratings are down, but they are still ahead of MLB.
-
Yanks and Sox would be screwed as the O's/Jays/Rays were all bottom 5 in attendance last year. Pre-COVID, Toronto was still bottom 10 in the league.
-
Also have this generations greatest player.

@kzoogrowlers RELEASE: MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred has been given a lifetime ban from Growlers games. "The Growlers stand strong in their belief that fun is the key to baseball. Rob Manfred stands in direct opposition to these beliefs."
-
That's why I never had a conversation about NYY retired numbers until this year.
-
There isn't much else to talk about. Anything baseball related is going to be swarmed on.
-
I take the Forbes reports with a grain of salt. Actually, I just tip my gravity salt grinder over the reports until it looks edible.
-
I don't think there is secret money, just that the books aren't open to the public. We really have no idea how much the Sox make. Maybe Henry is paying as much as he possibly can to payroll? We don't know.
-
That's why I said they should go back to the drawing board. He spends his money poorly and then tells other people how to spend theirs. Dumb.
-
I don't know. Sox get an extraordinary amount of revenue. They may be pocketing more than most other franchises. Hard to say since we don't really see their books.
-
Sox spend and are successful. Angels spend and don't get much out of it. Big difference. Angels need to rethink their horrible organization (29th farm system out of 30). Also, Henry isn't out here saying to lower the luxury tax. Big difference.

@MLBPA_News FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Players launching $1 million fund for workers affected by MLB owners’ lockout Now if only BOTH SIDES worked on helping the people that rely on work at the stadiums.
-
The Rays have found a way to not have to spend. Maybe these owners should work on that model. The A's have been competitive for a long time too without spending.
