The season should be 150 games at most IMO. Early April and late October is not baseball weather in the Northeast.

I can't be mad if the worst thing Bloom does is try to sell high on a player. The Hunter Renfroe's of the world are fungible. That 1.8 fWAR shouldn't be a bear to replace.

Even taking a scrap heap flier on Renfroe worked out. I do have more faith in Bloom's decision process than DD's. I'm not sure if he believes Renfroe will take a step back, but that maybe his value is going to be lapped by his ARB $$$.

It's only a big risk if they are firm on not going over the cap this season.

Players with memorable postseason performances: Kiké JBJ Players with NO memorable postseason performances: Hunter Renfroe

It's definitely a change from the low risk low reward moves of the past few years.

WRC+ 103 for the past 4 seasons. WRC+ 101 for his career. He's the proverbial sparkplug who has memorable moments, but whose overall stats are just average. Average bat, plus defense and he can play multiple positions. He's not an All Star. He's not going to have his uni retired. He's has an important role on this team though.

Ben Nicholson-Smith reported on Thursday evening that the Players Association left the league with an ultimatum to ponder: if the players do not get to play a full 162-game season with 100 percent of their salaries paid, they will not agree to an expanded postseason for the 2022 season. The players have agreed, conceptually, to an expanded postseason, but clearly, the specifics to this point do not include a guarantee of one occurring in 2022.

His offense was absolutely putrid last season. I don't think anyone knows if it was an aberration or just due to being the wrong side of 30. Renfroe for JBJ and 2 prospects only makes sense if Bloom believes in a bounce back AND he really likes the prospects. Of all the moves he's made, this is the one that could blow up in his face.

@MikeSilvermanBB Plan for talks between owners/ MLB and locked-out players to intensify next week. MLB wants deal by Feb. 28, or very soon after, or else regular season will be delayed.
-
@joonlee The meeting between MLB and MLBPA is over It lasted 15 minutes
-
@JeffPassan It depends on next week. MLB set a Feb. 28 deadline to start opening day March 31. Certainly if there's a deal, say, March 3, MLB will figure out how to start on time. But unless real, substantive progress comes -- and we haven't seen any to this point -- then it may be a while.

JBJ in RF as I believe he has a stronger arm.

Almost 182 pesos.

Former poster UN? sitting at home waiting on that $32M check coming his way...

@JeffPassan Juan Soto turned down a 13-year, $350 million contract from the Washington Nationals before the lockout, according to this @Enrique_Rojas1 report. In the story, Soto confirms the offer.

The price of a low A baseball game in 2022 will be more expensive than what I paid in the 90's if you include concessions.

I think 30 days is enough for ST. I wonder if they will even start this season with expanded rosters to help the pitchers?

Meet Niko Kavadas: Boston Red Sox prospect has big home run power and ‘chip’ on his shoulder

When will Opening Day be?
-
I believe expanded playoffs have already been agreed upon.

https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/2298659/mlbs-luxury-tax-proposal-is-trying-to-squeeze-a-cap-on-salaries Since 2003, MLB revenue has increased by $6.5B and due to revenue sharing, all owners are reaping the benefits. The lux tax cap has only increased by $89M over that time and only a handful of teams spend that much. If the luxury tax kept pace with revenue, the cap would now be $312M. It was $102M less than that last season.
-
Looking forward to Niko Kavadas highlights this season. https://twitter.com/SoxSpects/status/1493967883860328448

Yes. A big part of the problem is that the cap is only increasing 1-2% a year. We know, or at least believe, that revenues are increasing at a much higher rate than that.
