Having Mondays off would make it easier to reschedule rain outs.

@baseballtwit John Valentin turns 55 today. In the six seasons from 1993–98, he compiled 30.8 WAR (+83 Rbat, +76 Rfield), 11th in baseball. He did that with four years as a primary SS, one as a primary 2B, and one as a primary 3B. WAR leaders 1993–98 via @Stathead Very underappreciated player.

And no games on Monday?
-
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.

@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?

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