Super Ape Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 It’s like the ownership either didn’t learn lessons from 1994, or are hoping on another home run chase to get eyes back onto the sport. As the MLB product has been boring as hell in recent years all I can think of is the parallels between baseball and cricket, and how cricket managed to evolve and thrive since the introduction of the limited-overs game.

RIPPA Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 For the record - 13 years, $350 million is less than $27 million a year Clearly the Nats thought Soto was represented by Acuna's agent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Soto was 22 this past year and walked 145 times. It's incredible for a guy to be that young with that kind of plate discipline. It's also the most walks by any player in any season since Barry Bonds was being walked 5000 times a year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I wonder if teams were clever enough to put in some kind of roll over clause with everyone if they didn't play for a year. Because that's a particularly evil thing I can totally see someone like Angelos putting into his deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 MLB has officially delayed the start of Spring Training until March 5 They also said that to start the season on time a deal would need to be reached by the end of the month (Feb 28) So the urgency that has been promised since the lockout has started is finally happening as both sides are supposedly going to meet every day next week and reportedly more players and owners are flying in to be a part of the conversations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
