I would have had Tulo higher if he didn't wear the eye black indoors, which strikes me as the baseball equivalent of those footballers who wear gloves and short sleeves.
I'm not getting offended but I and a lot of other people would be completely embarrassed to wear that logo so eventually commercial reality will dictate a name change back to the Cleveland Spiders.
And there is a clear difference between calling a team the Yankees or Canucks and having a racist logo plastered on all your merchandise. It's like if there was some team called the New York Negros out there with a cartoon from Tintin in the Congo as a logo.
I think the only way we are getting Carrasco is if incoming Transport Minister Marc Garneau declares the moon Canadian territory, sells it to Rogers, and then Rogers subsequently spin it off in a deal for Carrasco.
One thing we know about AA is that he is a risk taker so it is not really that surprising that he would gamble that this year will get him a more desirable offer from elsewhere soon. Who knows, maybe he is the Yankees GM in 2017.
The Yankees aren't nearly as strong as they used to be because their ownership seems to have imposed some sort of rules around the payroll. The Red Sox have been bad for a few seasons now but I think they'll probably win the division next year.
The Cleveland Indians have had three 90 win seasons in the past 10 years and look primed for another one in 2016. This is all on a payroll that is on the lower side. Shapiro knows what he is doing.
