Just the fact that you can watch Canadian podcasts and shows that cover multiple sports right now and they are still leading with the Jays (in January!) tells you they have unlocked access to that behemoth. -
Did game 7 tickets not start at a higher price than game 1-4 tickets? I'd be shocked if they didn't.

I don't believe expansion is tied to doing well financially anymore as much as it maybe was before. It's often used as a way for the current owners to receive an influx of cash up front in exchange for giving up a piece of the pie. One thing holding the other leagues back from expansion is the fact that 1/30th or 1/32nd of that pie is a very large amount for those leagues at the moment. For example, in the sale of BamTech (which came from mlb advanced media (mlb.tv) and turned into disney plus interestingly enough, Disney paid the MLB owners over 3 billion dollars. NHL owners for 350 million in that deal.

I'm dead set against a cap in baseball but could get behind escalated penalties for spending. A hard cap would create massive advantages for certain teams who would be better suited to recruit players when salaries are similar. Ie the histories of the Dodgers and Yankees combined with the extra revenue potential in those cities make them more attractive to many players. Teams in no income tax states would also have an advantage with salary numbers having to be equal. Try convincing a player to take the same amount of money to play in April snow in Minnesota as they could get playing in perfect weather Arizona. The Dodgers being both a smart run organization and having so much appeal in their team and city would likely end up having just as mush success if not more in a cap system.
-
I don't think this would be the case. The low spenders likely want no upper cap with much higher tax penalties so there is more money going into the pot to be distributed to the non tax spenders.

It seems the market is quite depressed with all contracts coming in below projections, except Cease's. Now maybe we will see that isn't the case once the other big names sign, time will tell.
-
Is it starting to feel like the Jays misread the market big time on the Cease contract?

I was down in Atlanta a few years ago. The are around the stadium with all kinds of cars and restaurants where you can carry your drinks out into the streets was fantastic. Then in the stadium they had a little museum for the team which was really to see as well. Great stadium other than location.

Deep dynasty league. 20 team, 26 man MLB roster, 30 man MILB. 7x7 with hitting stats being HR, net SB, RBI, Runs, AVG, TB and OPS. I'm coming out of a rebuild where my OF is weak atm,
-
With Skenes, Chandler, Keller and Ashcraft and Jared Jones coming back in May they could be sneaky good.
-
Thoughts on Lawrence Butler after this down year last year? I'm in a dynasty league where I have both Abrams and Konnor Griffin. I'm wondering if I should explore a deal of Abrams for Butler plus something else.

Looking for an owner in a forum dynasty league on Fantrax
mphenhef replied to BTS's topic in Fantasy Sports
You still looking? I may be interested. -
Melton is easily the best prospect in those deals imo
-
Sweet, Berrios and YRod for Roman Anthony?
-
I wondered the same thing. I thought initially they might be looking to clear salary to make a splash but it's not like Baz clears much salary.
-
We could probably get Gunnar and Holliday if we were to dangle Berrios.
-
For a while there he was collecting shortstops like JP Ricciardi collecting third basemen.
-
You have to factor in the cost of replacing garbage cans so frequently too though.
-
Arguably the position was devalued by shifting so the ban in 2023 might start to swing that equation.
-
That's the reason for most of the issues in the world right now. It's also not 10 million over 50 million. It's 104 million in career earnings over 144 million in career earnings. Either one of those provides a luxury lifestyle easily.
-
I am not. I don’t think there is any chance it would happen due to the agent/union. But if it were me and I had already made 94 million dollars, I would rather be happy getting another 10 than unhappy getting 50. Either way myself and my kids are set for life.
-
After this year, he would have 94 million in career earnings. If he isn't starting, I wonder if he would consider opting out of the last two years to go somewhere to start at a slightly lower AAV. There is something to be said for being in the role you want over getting the most money, especially when you already have generational wealth. My guess is the agent or union would take him into picking up the option.
-
It would be OK, maybe that team would just be signing Bo in the hopes we would trade Berrios for him.
-
I mean even Mo blew a game 7
-
They might break a Traject system.
