what the f*** does this even mean?
does PC mean smart? because trying to halt the spread of COVID 19 is.....smart. not political. or is it?
is COVID 19 viewed the same as global warming, landing on moon, and round earth??
yeah, we can get by with 4 for a bit. i have a feeling there will be big chunks of this season where we have 2 openers each time through the rotation....
my guess is that player is currently in middle school. but the $500MM contract is inevitable.
as for MLB players not being able to do what we can do.....unfortunately for us....millions of people dont buy tickets to come and watch us work or buy tshirts with our company name on the front and our last name on the back......
his mom named him Marcus Lynn Betts so that his initials would be MLB. she is 100% on board with him going to FA and getting every last dollar that he can.....
so it looks like i was dead wrong on Giancarlo. i wanted the Sox to get him. badly. so glad he will spend the next 7 years on the yankees IL instead of Sox....

bingo. the bad news is that just as all of us are finally learning/figuring out how this all works - there will be a new CBA soon and we will be back to square one of not knowing anything.
the money is spread evenly across the length of contract for tax purposes.

it doesnt matter if the player gets 90% of the money in the first year. it will be distributed evenly among all the years the contract is for.
Major League Baseball's investigation into the Boston Red Sox allegedly stealing signs during their World Series-winning 2018 season is reportedly expected to conclude in March.

we will use an opener / BP game 2x through if we have to. maybe even 3.
i'm still trying to wrap my head around "opener/BP" games but will need to do it quick as we will be seeing this all season long. the kids that can throw will get many chances this season.
