2023 MLB Thread

I have no ill will towards Stearns.  Hope he does well except against Milwaukee.

Nor should you, nor was I saying anybody should. It was more a response to cheebs' post about whether or not Stearns knows how to build a big-payroll team. We'll see!

Donaldson might just be a key upgrade for the Brewers...

I saw an article that Cohen wants  the NYM to be the Dodgers of the East Coast.....  He will spend the $$$$$$$ like LAD and develop a good farm system as well ! ! !

I've got no love for the Brewers, but honestly a great low risk pick up. He was terrible in NY but not that far removed from a pretty decent last year in MIN. He's not gonna need to be an everyday guy and has tons of playoff experience to bring to the clubhouse for the stretch

I appreciate everything the dbacks have done for the brewers this month

Yes, but the Brewers have certainly been helping themselves as well.  Except for that series In Pittsburgh, they've really played well and hitting has come alive.

I'm old enough to remember people wanting Counsell fired, aina?

Yup, that's why I'm not enjoying another division title.  I can say "told you so".  Much more satisfying

Tampa Bay Times reporting a deal is complete and will be announced shortly for new baseball stadium in St. Petersburg plus area development. Post 2027 season.

[MU82]

That would be great to finally give that organization some stability.

A few other details:

++ 30,000-seat domed stadium.

++ Open in time for 2028 season.

++ $1.2 billion expected cost.

++ Rays owner Stuart Sternberg told the Tampa Bay Times earlier this month that the organization expected to "pay for half or more" of the cost for the stadium. The remainder of the cost will be contributed by the city of St. Petersburg and Pinellas County.

++ Overall project eventually would include affordable housing, office space and retail.

Rowdy Tellez, future loogy?

I think so long as Royce plays they get that W finally.

If they cant get one this year, not sure it ever happens again.

Some geniuses wanted to fire Craig Counsell, the best damn manager in the game

Brant Brown to Steve Bartman to Seiya Suzuki ought to cause Cubs fans to forget about Tinkers to Evers to Chance.
