    @SmittyOnMLB Alex Binelas, David Hamilton, Boston Red Sox prospects from Hunter Renfroe trade, will attend 2022 winter camp

    I bet they tried to trade him, but the return was never great enough to take the lux tax hit.

    It's been explained above. Read for yourself, lazy.

    Why does the difference in sport matter? It doesn't.

    Los Angeles metro population: 18.8M (park sucks to get to, but is only 3 miles from downtown) Boston metro population: 4.9M (park sucks to get to, but is only 3 miles from downtown) Tampa metro population: 2.9M (park sucks to get to and is 20 miles away from downtown and across the bay) I think convenience is a very big factor with the Rays attendance. However, unless it's tried out elsewhere in the Tampa area, we won't really know. I just feel like the overwhelming Lightning attendance number shows that there is a desire for local sports in the area. Factoring in the good tv and radio ratings for the Rays, it shouldn't be a big wonder as to why it isn't working out for them right now. They have a young, successful and exciting team. They just can't fill that stadium in St Pete.

    @MiLB The Automated Ball and Strike system is coming to a handful of Triple-A parks this season.

    Marcelo Mayer taking some bp

    It's a bad opinion. They have good tv ratings. The stadium is a pain in the ass to get to with the bridge traffic. The Lightning lead the NHL in attendance. Their stadium is in Tampa where all the Rays fans want a new Rays stadium. If a lack of attendance was solely due to "transplants" then why do the Lightning pull so well? The Panthers have horrible attendance because the other side of the road is the Everglades. The location sucks. If the location was better for the Rays, they'd have better attendance.

    He held the career MiLB home run record at some point. I love my late 80's PAWSOX.

    I think the Tampa fans deserve a shot at a good MLB stadium first. The owners just don't want to fork over the money to do it. I'm not sure Miami would be happy with splitting their home games since they have a very new and expensive ballpark that they need to derive revenue off of.

    Good talent evaluator. Horrible bullpen arm acquirer.

    He OPS'd 818 in the Japanese Eastern League (their minors), but only hit 558 after being called up. I don't think he was ever good enough to find "fame." He would have just been a 4th or 5th OFer.

    How do you think Cashman's strategy will work out if they institute an international draft? Will that be better for the Yanks? Worse?
  15. mvp 78
    I'm not disagreeing that the Yankees farm system is pretty good. I just think the value for their prospects tend to be a little overinflated.

    In regards to the Rays Montreal/Tampa timeshare falling through: @BillShaikin Sternberg: "Partial seasons are going to be the wave of the future in professional sports."

    @SoxProspects A day after Baseball America's 2022 top 100 prospect list came out, Baseball Prospectus releases their Top 101. The same four Red Sox made the list. -Marcelo Mayer (17) -Nick Yorke (40) -Triston Casas (44) -Jarren Duran (81)
  18. mvp 78
    What's the definition of "own players?" What if you traded for the player the previous deadline?
  19. mvp 78
    I have no answers. It's hard to pick apart what the owners want.
  20. mvp 78
    It's obvious that the owners are making good money off of these teams. Why else would there be a rush to sign FA's prior to the CBA expiring? Does this show that the owners believe the luxury tax penalties will either go away or at least the threshold would go up higher? It seems like there are a few strata of baseball owners: 1. large market, flushed with cash (LAD, BOS, NY, SF) 2. mid level teams that alternate between spending and being thrifty (TOR, ChiSox, TEX, DET, SD) 3. smaller market teams that rarely spend anything (PIT, TBR, OAK, MIA, CLE) How do the ownerships work together when it seems like there are competing interests in terms of how to manage payroll? Why would teams like LAD ever be ok with a luxury threshold? Is there something the lower level teams have in their back pocket that keeps their interests at the forefront?

    He's referring to Austin Wells, a beefy C who isn't great behind the dish. Maybe he sticks there for a while like Gary Sanchez, but he has DH written all over him without Yorke's hit tool.
  22. mvp 78
    I forgot about that bad contract. I guess the Betts' deal is a steal these days!
  23. mvp 78
    @NBCSEdgeBB Report: Correa asking for $330-350 million Betts 37.2 fWAR prior to signing his deal. Correa has 25.1 fWAR. Honestly, I'm not sure I'd give him $250M.

    @ChrisCotillo Some Red Sox news: Maverick Carter has been added to the Red Sox Foundation’s Board of Directors.
  25. mvp 78
    On Yorke: "He's potentially a double-plus hitter with average power who can stay on the infield" If he can stay at 2b, that is the biggest win for this org.
