muhammedboehm Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 With the opening of Cuba how out there would it be to add two teams Cuba and like Dominican Repulbic?
Joe Lucia Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 Absolutely not economically feasible in any sense.
Kuetsar Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 IF and its a huge IF, MLB ever goes to Havana for a big league team, it would have to be at least two or three decades out, and that's assuming Cuba transitions back to a market economy and massive western investment. I could see a big league team trying spring training there sooner if everything were to go smoothly. . .
BrianS81177 Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Mariners have placed Jesus Montero on waivers. My sympathies to whomever's team picks him up thinking they might be able to get something out of him. Spoiler alert: they won't.
Ryan Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 They should totally add a team in Japan because that would logistically make total sense and not completely kill the entire NPB.

At best, I see Havana being like London is to the NFL. They might get a special series or two a year but nothing more.

BrianS81177 Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Of course the Jays claimed him. They love them some Mariners reclamation projects.
Joe Lucia Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 They also love DH-type players like Encarnacion, Montero, and the large fella still in my avatar.
Ryan Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Is Montero athletic enough to be moved to Center Field? I say give it a shot.
BrianS81177 Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 I know you're kidding, but Montero couldn't cover CF if you have him a golf cart to use out there. Shit he can barely play a passable 1B.
Ryan Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 There's probably some CFs that can outright a golf cart, give him a hoverboard, he'd set the field ablaze...when he crashed the damn thing into the fence trying to field a pop up.
Ryan Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Put Jose Bautista in center and we'll have some fun.

Hamhock Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 I imagine this thread will close soon....it's been an entertaining Spring! Jimmy Rollins won the starting shortstop job with the White Sox, though will share time on the job. Andrew Miller has a chip fracture in his right wrist. John Schuerholz is going into quasi-retirement and becoming Vice-Chairman of the Braves.

I had assumed that Hanley would get that job, but who the fuck knows? That Hanley/Panda pair was a terrible signing.
