    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.
  3. mvp 78
    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.
  5. mvp 78
    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.
  7. mvp 78
    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.
  11. mvp 78
    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.
  14. mvp 78
    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.
  15. mvp 78
    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.
  16. mvp 78
    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.
  18. mvp 78
    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.
  19. mvp 78
    Effective 2022, each team will be making at least 100M just from tv revenue (each team will get 60 from the league and whatever else they can make on their own). For smaller market teams to say they need to pull back, it just really makes the whole situation seem ridiculous.

    @SPChrisHatfield So I'm told today that a date for fan access at Fenway South has not yet been determined, but fans can pay for tours of JetBlue Park. If you're down there in the near term, don't expect the usual open access to the back fields.
  21. mvp 78
    The guy who paid Justin Upton 100M, Pujols 240M, Vernon Wells 86M, CJ Wilson 78M and Josh Hamilton 125M shouldn't tell other people how to spend their money.
  22. mvp 78
    @ByJamesWagner Per ⁦@EvanDrellich ⁩these owners — Bob Castellini (Reds), Chris Ilitch (Tigers), Ken Kendrick (Diamondbacks) & Arte Moreno (Angels) — objected to raising the luxury tax threshold to $220M, which was ultimately proposed to & rejected by players.
  23. mvp 78
    I don't think the owners are going to just "meet in the middle." That's my worry about this be protracted.
  24. mvp 78
    @MikeSilvermanBB No proposals exchanged during roughly 90-minute informal meeting in NYC between 2 MLB & 2 MLBPA negotiators. Still finalizing plans on when and where next round of talks will take place.
  25. mvp 78
    Maybe 4 times? As part of the 2006 CBA, the owners paid $12M out of luxury tax funds towards the players due to the 2002-3 suspicion of collusion.
