Betting sites probably don't want to stir the pot and have federal regulators looking into and possibly regulating them even more.

IIRC each spot in the linup average around 20 more PA over the course of the season than the next one So not really a huge difference but it exists

Yeah I’d guess it’s less of a conspiracy and more of a “don’t rock the boat” deal. I imagine there’s less conspiracy in all of this. But that’s the result when you deny transparency. You look like you’re covering something up whether you are or aren’t and you let peoples imaginations and agendas run wild.

Anyone who thinks that MLB isn't covering up some ball shenanigans hasn't read the article. It's exhaustively sourced. The places the mid ball showed up - ASG, post-season, NYY games starting in August as people started to realize Judge could actually do it. These are the times when the most eyes are on the product and it's in MLBs interest to maximize offense for those games. I don't think there's a gambling angle, just a ratings one. I mean it's really hosed up any way, how MLB is willing to gently caress with equipment and drug policies when it sells more tickets while sincerely insisting that you can fairly compare Honus Wagner to Mike Trout. And I don't buy that it had zero effect, ball clubs gameplan around a certain kind of ball, they construct rosters based on statistics created by a certain kind of ball, and if that ball suddenly changes, whether more live or more dead, then some clubs are going to do better and some are going to do worse. MLB is picking winners and losers zoux fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Dec 11, 2022 |

Popete posted:Betting sites probably don't want to stir the pot and have federal regulators looking into and possibly regulating them even more. Yeah I tend to think it's more likely just this: sports betting apps are in the very early days of partnering so heavily with the sports themselves and enjoying fairly insignificant regulatory burden as opposed to "traditional" gambling. Like even if the companies weren't tipped off and are actually super pissed at MLB for putting their thumb on the scale, making a big stink about it in public or filing any kind of lawsuit would immediately draw federal interest and scrutiny, and potentially result in them stepping up regulatory efforts.

5/75 is a hell of a deal in this market if Senga is even half as good as people think he is in MLB.

Senga was available for 5/75 and instead the Cubs gave Taillon 4/68. Okay Hoyer.

Its Rinaldo posted:Jesus Mets Doesn't seem like they wanted to go as many years. Senga had multiple 6 year offers and reportedly the Red Sox were going to go 7. 3 years vs. 5 or 6 years matters a lot to guy signing his first MLB deal in his 30s, I imagine.
