Baseball needs an end to Garuanted contracts but that would never happen.

---

Owners would just all have to agree to do it. I heard once that the only reason the NFL gets away without guaranteed contracts is that it's 100% aligned with the owners and they won't negotiate on it

NBA and MLB could do it in theory, just no clue would they have to give up in return

---

It's more complicated than that. There are trade-offs. Organizations spend a lot of time and resources to develop these players (unlike football). They want a lot of team control for that reason. To give up guaranteed contracts, the players would demand reduced team control and team-friendly terms.

Plus, you really want to see a loss of parity? Remove the punishment for long bloated contracts from the rich teams and see how many more free agents they sign. Only way guaranteed contracts go away is with a salary cap as well. And agents won't go for that (no huge pay days or long guaranteed contracts as the carrot at the end of the stick.

LAt least half of baseball fandom would burn itself down over realigning teams between NL and AL.

Exactly. No chance they break up the nl central or AL east imo. A team in Mexico would be beyond stupid. No FA is going to live in that **** hole corrupt place

It's true that you don't have to have lived in Fallujah to know it's not a nice place, But I wonder how many people commenting on Mexico City have actually been there.

I bet even fewer have been to Venezuela, the Dominican republic, Cuba and other Latin countries whose Spanish-speaking baseball players would not only consider Mexico City to be a step above what they are used to, but would also love the city and feel at home speaking Spanish.

One thing that's for sure is the house would be packed. I'm not sure that I'd rather play in an empty stadium in one of our own domestic ****holes like Detroit than I would in front of a packed house in Mexico City.

You aren't selling suites, or Diamond Club season tickets in the DR, Cuba, or Venezuela. In 2016, the average price of attendance was 77.92for two people. In the DR, the average wage is about $7.50 a day. There's no way the stadium is filled. Conversely, if the stadium is full, the teams won't be able to pay major league salaries.

No Blummer this series

For the love of everything holy, Mike, don't talk too much.

What's going on with him?

Crap...We get Mike Stanton for this entire series.

Scheduled break I think. He did the same last season.

He said on the last broadcast that it was a scheduled break.

Midori, southern comfort and dry vermouth. That's what came up. And I just threw up in my mouth thinking about it.

That's blasphemous.

Ha. No, Blum is drinking a beer right now. Lawnmower is a St Arnold's brew

I, however, am enjoying a Padron and Balvenie 12 on the back porch watching the game.

What's this narrative that Lance hasn't had his CB? That really true?

He was out. Correa has it blocked

Bat flipping on a single. ******.

That run is on Hinch. No question he should've challenged that

It's not entirely on Hinch. We got folks looking at that play at all sorts of angles. I trust they didn't see enough to overturn.

Sassy Stassi

2 pitches, 1 run? Efficient.

Fisher looks a little like Hunter Pence at the plate.
