What y'all wanna bet MLB comes out of this with a permanent reduction in games/season?
Joey Gallo will have to really up his game to break the strikeout record if they cut games.

It's one thing to try and save players' bodies for the playoffs. It's quite another to destroy an American dream.

Off-season pointless question but just out of curiosity.

Where will the 21 banner go? Doesn't seem to be much room above the 19 banner since the light poles angle out… unless they move it down.

just move the others down and closer together. Guess we will have to stick to winning WS for a while to balance that out

Yeah we need it to be even.

I wouldnt be opposed to putting the division/wild card banners lining back along the top of the left-center facade above the sponsors.

We had plenty of room, but then Drayton went and sold every inch of space for ads.

I think that was done under Crane ownership, not Drayton.

Someone can fact check me but I think those showed up circa 2013-2024

You beat me to typing exactly what I was thinking. Makes total sense! Were ready to negotiate we just don't want to back down or find middle ground that mediation would force

The Ken Rosenthal interactions are gonna be interesting. Also anyone working at mlbn better do nothing but praise and defend the dear leader unless they want to get fired.

Again...Both sides acting like petulant bltches.

They can't even agree on how to negotiate.

This isn't ending anytime soon.

How are the negotiations coming along for the salary floor? Seems like that could address a lot of issues.

Zips projections for the AL. No shocker here.

I would think the Mariners are better situated in the division than the As but I don't know who all the Ms lost outside of Seager. I feel like the As lost a lot this year… perhaps it's just my postseason brain not being dialed in.

As still have a bunch of pitching that hasn't been traded away yet.

Ms over preformed last year. Unless they repeat as the clutchest team in the history of baseball they're sure to fall off.

Imagine spending $500 million on two players and still only be projected to win 73 games

So if the players side wins on the arbitration/service time argument. That would effect how long we can keep Yordan and Tucker for cheap.

If I'm Click, after the Correa stuff settles I would make those two getting extensions through at least 2028-29 a priority

it's amazing how much money certain players are losing due to the combination of the 2020 COVID season and a possible shortened 2022 season.

2019 was a rough year/offseason to sign a big contract.

a player like Altuve has only received 1 year (2021) of his max earnings (for his 5-year extension).

on the flipside...Bregman looks like a genius for delaying his big money seasons ($30 MM) to 2023 & 2024

He didn't exactly delay them. He wasn't offered money earlier. I believe his free agency would have been after the 22 season.

Lockout is killing my excitement but let's talk future. Here are the contract ending or when they would be free agent dates for current deals with our guys.

I'm looking at that 2024-2025 off-season as being really intriguing with Altuve and Bregman's deals ending. Then going into the final year of Yordan/Tucker's contracts.

I'm assuming by then Brantley, JV and Yuli will be retired as well.

They can talk all the crap they want about Jose but I will always have his back for the quality of person and how he shows love to other other field.

Might be the first smart move I've seen them make since 2017 outside of signing Cole

Signing a 32 year old to a long term contract. What could go wrong? There is a reason ATL hasn't just given him what he wanted.
