  1. There will be an anti-tanking measure: first 6 picks will be decided by a lottery. There will be penalties for placing near the bottom of the standings for multiple years in a row. (Maybe weaker teams will be incentivized to spend more. The extra 2 teams in the playoffs may lead more borderline teams to try and improve their rosters. QO rules remain in place. The new lux tax line will be at $230M in 2022, which is $20M more. By 2026, it will be at $244M- much bigger increases per year than recently. Universal DH- FINALLY! I'm assuming no shits allowed, but I haven't seen any confirmation on that. Did Robo Umps ever get discussed?
  2. An attempt will be made in NYC to field a team that looks like they are playing baseball.
  3. BTV accepted: Bogey, Duran & Groome for Abel, Vierling, O'Hoppe & Segura (We save $6M on the lux tax in 2022 and have a $17M on Segura for 2023 w a $1M buyout)
  4. BTV accepted Bogey, Barnes & $8M for Urquidy. We'd save $24M on the lux tax for '22 and $5M in '23, if we gave $4M each year. That fives us enough cash to sign Correa and Suzuki, although I'm against signing Correa.
  5. Maybe something like this? 3 games x 15 teams from other league= 45 games 6 games vs 10 teams from other divisions= 60 games 14 or 15 games vs own division (4 teams)= 57 games Or 2 games x 15 teams from other league= 30 games 6 games vs 10 teams from other divisions= 60 games 18 games vs own division (4 teams)= 72 games
  6. MLBTR... ...Beginning in 2023, the schedule will be adjusted such that every team plays all 29 opponents in each season. The exact format is to be determined, but those games will come attached to a decrease in the number of intra-divisional games teams will play. Previously, teams played 19 games per season against all four of their divisional opponents.
  7. Indeed. Makes that JBJ trade even itchier.
  8. I'm glad you saw the humor.
  9. Why do we never see the 2Bman playing SS vs RHBs?
  10. Maybe they had a better sense the owners would have given a little more.
  11. Yes, that's what I meant. (That time, you were right about what I was thinking... LOL!)
  12. cots has us at $178.2M counting Price and the medical payments. If this is accurate, we have over $40M to spend and stay under. (Had we not traded for JBJ, we could have signed Correa & Suzuki.)
  13. Did the tax rate go way up? (Not the level, but the % TAX)
  14. Wow! Team reps voted 26-4 for it, then.
  15. STing begins the 17th.
  16. Vote was 26-12 in favour of owners last proposal
  17. How often do you see the 2Bman on the left side of the IF? There are less pull righties than lefties and most of the pull lefties tend to be power hitters. IMO
  18. I think his point was there just aren’t many dead pull only RHB’s in MLB, and this is all about just a few power hitting lefties.
  19. He didn’t do it.
  20. https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/blog/top100dangerous/amp
  21. Another site has them 3rd in highest violent crimes. I guess it depends on the site. No doubt, Baltimore has some dangerous areas. So does Houston.
  22. Maybe it’s more about perception as BAL has the 6th highest Black population, so maybe some view that as being the real issue.
