Nah the trading deadline needs to go back where it’s always been. July 31st, at 3PM. That dope on a rope has continued to ruin the game, he needs to be fired ASAP!
Well, Manfred isn’t going anywhere, teams are making record profits in his tenure, and the bottom line is all the owners care about. I’m not exactly enthused about him being commissioner either, but can’t do much at the moment.
I must say I enjoy having the time stamps listed for each segment.
The part about the new CBA was interesting. If teams are giving rookies longer trial runs to prepare them for potential ROY campaigns next season, thats an understated factor in accelerating future rebuilds, along with the draft picks. Corbin Carroll and Gunnar Henderson have benefitted from call-ups last year.
MLB isn’t fully out of the woods yet, but it is steadily exiting the tanking era.
White Sox had a disappointing year, how about a disappointing 40 years under Reinsdorf, has to be the worst organization in sports
You’re familiar with the Colorado Rockies, right?
