It's a new forum and almost a new year. Not directing at anyone in particular, but can everyone at least attempt to turn over a new leaf and stop with the constant bickering? We are all too old for th

Flaherty and Profar would both be good signings. High upside and no QO attached. They'd be my targets. But Pivetta and Tony Taters (Santander) are almost underrated at this point. The QOs suck bu

I feel that's literally giving a GM no credit, where credit is due. He doesn't just print contracts for people to sign who want to play here.   I think there's a lot of reasons players choose not to

They should get everyone out of there safely and let Milton come back and take that entire Stadium. Roof wasn’t enough. They can still play Baseball there.

Soto is a gold glove finalist for RF lollll

 

Varsho up for CF, Clement for 3B.

 

Varsho is up against Duran for the GG, looking like he’ll get snubbed again

Kirk wasn't a finalist??? lol

 

Varsho getting snubbed again would be a crime.

It's kind of wild how Varsho is generally accepted to be the best defensive outfielder in the MLB, but because he's too good at two positions instead of one he gets snubbed from winning a GG at any one position because he didn't accumulate enough time in them. Why not just give him the award at whichever position he's played the most at, or just go back to giving GGs for OF instead of LF, CF and RF.

Under another roof that's barely staying up

 

Don't have to worry about Hurricanes in Montreal. Just bad snow storms.

 

They would be used to playing in another s*** hole. Pretty much the O is like the Trop. Closest to home-field they would get haha.

I wonder if the Rays could play in Oakland next year. I hear its wide open

 

Since the Rays are an AL East team, I think Montreal would make the most sense.

 

Only other option is if they play down in a ST park somewhere in Florida but that will be tough with minor league ball going on or Disney's ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando.

Did any team move into the Disney's ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando after Atlanta left? It could be an option.

I’ve heard Montreal can’t host, apparently the dome was partially scrapped this summer. Unplayable there

Reinsdorf is the 2nd longest tenured owner in MLB behind the Steinbreners.

 

Bought the White Sox in 1981 for around 20 million. Most recent valuations have them at about 2 billion.

 

100-fold return after 40ish years on top of everything he's made off them in between. Solid return

Dunedin has enough capacity

 

Yeah but the Dunedin Jays play there throughout the season. It's gonna be tough to play at a ST ballpark since most are used during the season.

 

George M. Steinbrenner Field is right next to the football stadium where the Bucs play, so it's right in Tampa. Don't think any minor league club plays there throughout the year.

I wondered that too but it looks like the Yankees A team Tampa Tarpons play there all summer too

Not sure if any team plays there throughout the year. They probably could schedule maybe like 40 or so home games during the regular season. Orlando is a tourist spot, so might get some decent attendance.

I'm pretty sure all the spring training facilities are used by minor league teams throughout the year. The Disney's ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex might be the best fit. Would be hilarious (and sad?) if Tampa plays out of it and attendance increases this year...

Turn it into a roving team. Some at Disney, some in Puerto Rico, there are probably some other stadiums that can host a handful of games.

Yeah not a bad idea. Sure they can play some series down in Puerto Rico or Dominican. MLBPA would have to approve and some teams might object to playing somewhere else geographically. Could also play some games at the Marlins ballpark or Truist Park in Atlanta when they're not being used.

 

Turner Field in Atlanta is still up, but Georgia State renovated it and turned it into a football stadium lol.
