    CD, what kind of opportunities has Shapiro had to make an impact move at the deadline to bolster a playoff team? You're speculating that he won't. I'd be shocked if the Jays were leading the AL East in 2021 and he didn't make that sort of move.

    I imagine he'll be back in TB on a one year deal. Atlanta would be a good fit and definitely a more exciting team than the Rays.

    People aren't talking about Morton because he's expressed a desire to stay in or close to his home in Florida. There was thought that he may retire this year. He's not coming to Canada and he's definitely not playing in Buffalo.

    Baseball does not have an advantage when it comes to number of scholarships. D1 baseball teams have less than 12 scholarships to hand out. Football is fully or nearly 1:1 scholarships per player and basketball isn't far behind that ratio. Why then would a black kid who understands that he needs a scholarship to go to university pursue baseball over football or basketball? This massive gap in scholarships likely leads to more black kids playing basketball or football in university, not because it isn't fun. Baseball will never have the demand of football or basketball at the national level, NCAA or professionally. The reality is D1 schools are reliant on football and basketball while baseball is closer to soccer in priority. An increase in scholarship allowance isn't going to just magically appear and without it baseball is never going to get kids to turn away from the NBA or the NFL.

    When is enough black people in baseball enough? Why is this seen as a problem in the MLB but not in other leagues? The MLB is consistently ~40% people of colour.
  8. L54
    Basically, yup.

    It's just a question to chew on.

    Why doesn't anyone ever mention the disproportionate representation of African Americans in the NBA and NFL when talking about diversity and inclusion in sports? What have the NFL and NBA done to grow the game within the white community? Maybe sports are more closely correlated with culture and not race.

    I know you would be happier if Justin Turner was charged with attempted manslaughter, but it's just not going to happen.

    Looks like they may have to replace their entire org.

    Seems relevant. Sorry to kill your buzz King and Jim.

    Corner outfield is an easy place to utilize platoon-y guys too
  17. L54
    Sure they’d obviously both fit. If someone comes along with a SP or infield upgrade for one of these corner outfielders I’d make that trade.
  18. L54
    Yup. I’d look to move one of him or LGJ for controllable pitching. I think they both played way above their heads. Corner OF’s are always available to acquire.
  19. L54
    99.98% Is that a lot or no?

    It’s nice to see fans back in the stands
