Are.... are they including the ad patch on uniforms fans buy? That's insane

I asked that too but don't quite remember the answer. I want to say that the stupid-expensive authentic ones will, but the cheaper ones made specifically to wear will not. sure hope that's the case.

Thanks for giving the link to the MLB rosters in SMB3, I like the cute fake teams but baseball hits different when I can play as a cartoonishly jug eared Kyle Hendricks striking out a bug eyed, insane looking yadier molina.

Ads are ugly and annoying. “Hurr durr soccer does it” yea soccer is also two continuous 45-50 minute blocks of play while baseball has a million built-in stoppages ripe for commercial breaks. I can grudgingly see the case for making soccer players into bipedal billboards, I cannot for baseball.

“MLB‘s always had tons of ads get over it” okay but they didn’t have ads on uniforms, which is the present subject.

“There are bigger problems in the world” true and I’m not going to fix those either. However I can and will still complain.

Soccer's also ran (I guess?) by the most corrupt international organization on the planet. Don't be like soccer.

From what I can tell, the NBA jerseys don't include the ad patch. Just as a point of reference.

I remember listening to a random Cubs game, probably in 2016, where in one inning all three outs were 4-3 groundouts to Javy Baez. Pat Hughes commented that he had fielded 3 groundouts in the inning, and added "that ties the big league record!" before going to break.

It took me until midway through the next half inning to figure it out.

In very weird and true offseason minutiae news, the Mariners might get 3 first round picks in the upcoming draft.

Their own pick, the Julio ROTY PIP pick, and a Comp A pick.

The only interesting part of this is that since the ROTY incentive thing is so new no one seems to quite know if that's actually what's happening or if MLB made a typo.

They give a free 1st round pick for the team who had ROTY? That seems kind of dumb, the player should get some $ instead.

IIRC the additional detail is that the team with the ROTY gets an extra draft pick only if the ROTY was on the roster long enough to get a full service year, so the player benefits by entering arbitration earlier than they would if the team held them back a few weeks to game their service time.

Also, in this case Julio got a huge contract during the season, so he's getting a few bucks.

Butt first, let's

Yeah I guess it’s meant to encourage teams to play their rookies instead of hoarding them? If you play the ROTY you get a new prospect to hoard!

I'm not sure what is funnier, that being the biggest contract in Rays history or giving the biggest contract in your team's history to Zach Eflin. The Rays really need to be contracted.

Highest annual value maybe. Wander Franco signed a ~10/100+ last year. Still pretty sad, though.
