He coveted Nick, but was told there was no more money to spend. The numbers may actually be in the Marlins favor here as they were supposedly one of the teams really losing money. $58m payroll, $100m+ in TV money. They're not losing money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Jayson Stark has the details of how the new schedule will work (starting in 2023) and it was pretty much what I guess in the other thread Quote In a detailed column about the CBA, Stark adds some details about the schedule changes that will begin in 2023. While it had been previously reported that teams would play all 29 of the other squads in the league each year, with the number of divisional games being reduced, the details were not known at the time. Stark lays out the format that will begin next year, with each team playing its divisional rivals 14 times per season, down from 19, for a total of 56. Teams in the same league but not the same division will be played six times each, a total of 60. When it comes to interleague play, each team has a “rival” that they will play four times, with three games against the other 14 teams in the opposite league. That amounts to 46 total interleague games. All of those categories are evenly split between road and home, except for the final one. In the case of the 14 non-rival teams that are in the opposite league, the home team for the three-game series will alternate from year to year.

Death From Above Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I can't help but wonder who the Jays get as a rival. Hard to think of an obvious option since their obvious out of division choice would be another AL team in the Mariners, given how wild those crowds tend to be.

Jays are getting stuck with either the Braves or Phillies since MLB already has 9 of the 15 rivalries set and 3 of the involve East teams (Yanks/Mets, Nats/Os, Marlins/Rays) I am gonna assume the Jays will get Philly while the Red Sox will get Atlanta (since MLB will love to throwback to the Boston Braves) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinit Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 After having to play home games in Florida and Buffalo because of the pandemic, it's poetic that teams will now come into Toronto at a disadvantage beacuse of player who refused toget vaccinated. So pumped for the Jays this year!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 pretty sure that Sanchez and Urshela aren't on the list of Yankees who can't enter Canada (Sanchez was described as vaccinated during 2021 and Urshela had a vaccine effect IL stint), so this wasn't the "drop expendable unvaccinated guys" trade The Twins are pretty much going full OOTP trade king right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
