Universal DH coming in 2022 https://www.insidehook.com/daily_brief/sports/mlb-commissioner-universal-designated-hitter-2022-season
For all the Brewers fans here, Sophia Minnaert was at the Marquette Circles event in NYC last night.With the lockout going on, and no spring training she was available for the event.
I have no problem with a salary cap as long as there is a salary floor. With revenue sharing, teams like the Pirates get a windfall every year for intentionally being bad with no desire to ever try to win.
FS1 reporting a deal has been reached. 🕺🕺🕺
Good. The sooner the season starts, the sooner Yadier Molina’s career will be over
Starting in 2023, everyone will play everyone at least one series a season. Way less divisional games starting next year.
Honestly, I like this.
So do I. 19 games against one team is way too many.On another point, the players executive committee voted unanimously to reject the owners’ offer bur the rank and file voted overwhelmingly to accept it. Why such a disconnect?
The executive committee is made up of guys who have already received huge contracts - bigger than they will ever get again because of age or length of contract. This was one case where the rich guys (MLBPA executive board) was actually looking out for and trying to get a better deal for lower and mid-tier guys. those guys just needed to get back to work and were willing to take less.
I don't. Divisional games are the best games of the year. I don't want to give up divisional games to play the Marlins, Reds, Padres, Diamondbacks, etc.
Me neither. It sounded good until I did the math. Minimum 3 games per team. That's 87 games. I assume the local rival will get another 3 games (for example Yankees vs. Mets). That's 90.Are they playing divisional rivals 18 times for the rest? Or rotating 15 games a year vs a division in their own league? Then playing 57 games in the division which is a weird number because you need an extra game vs someone?
Less? The guys at the bottom got a 23% raise tu 700,000. That’s huge, and basically what the Union was asking. I’m not as clear on the mid tier guys. What did they sacrifice in this deal?
Salary for an individual year is not the only monetary situation. In fact it was a small consideration. Player salary is affected more by the CBT and arbitration rules. CBT was the biggest reason for the lockout. Minimum salary didn't really affect the negotiations one way or the other.
Somebody told me MLB is going to do double headers to get all 162 games in without extending the season. With universal DH now, are they expanding the active roster so you can both cover your DH and have extra pitchers on your roster for the more games in a condensed period of time?
