It might confuse customers about the team license if the cover guy is wearing a blank uniform.

Didn’t that happen with Harper in ‘19? I think they started promoting it before he signed and the ads initially had him in a blank gray uniform.

Start with teams that don't spend to their means like the Pirates and Yankees

Pirates have a fun ballpark that is within driving distance from me. They can stay. There is no coherent argument for the A's or the Rays to exist.

They tried that 20 years ago, apparently Carl Pohlad was all but ready to take a giant check from MLB, and without the Target Field deal getting done he would have and the Twins would have disappeared alongside the Expos.

There was a time when the A's dominated that media market. That franchise's problems are 100% owner-inflicted. Considering the stadium situation in Tampa, the same could probably be said for the Rays.

The A's used to have the largest payroll and were just steamrolling teams. The Rickey Henderson years were wild.

:siren: Giants have made a signing :siren:

It's reliever Luke Jackson. 2 years $11.5 million, club option in 2025.

He missed all of 2022 with Tommy John. Used to have the greasiest, rattiest hair in MLB.

I would laugh a lot. Like a lot a lot. Because if his ankle does not, in fact, fall out, and he produces at Correa levels, it would be hilarious.

That said, the Twins are already playing the "if everyone is healthy" lotto again this year. So it might still be hilarious, but in that other, not actually funny way.

Correa giving the Twins a fully healthy decade (minus freak stuff like getting hit by a pitch of whatever that you have to make room for in projections) would make me extremely happy and would be a hilarious dunk on the Mets and Giants

Also somewhere in the back of Dodgers fans heads if he signs with the Twins they'll want him to humiliate the Giants for passing on him and will want him to do well :getin:

If a team were somehow able to pull off a trade for Ohtani before the season starts, would the haul be more or less than the Soto deal? I would figure less cuz it’s just one year but it would probably still be pretty substantial.

I'd say "No one fails a Twins physical" but they also fired their trainer this offseason, so who knows what's going on in the clubhouse now.

Where can I see MLB parks overlaid on other parks these days? Or can someone overlay Rogers Centre on Oracle?

It's absolutely less

Ohtani is also four years older

Is this what you're looking for? It doesn't overlay parks but you can easily switch between the two on the left drop down.

He’s also one year removed from a 157 wRC+ season and while I don’t expect him to be either of those extremes somewhere in the middle is probably fine for that deal? He’ll play some DH, do some pinch hitting and play first when vladdy is DH. Seems like it’s worth a shot to me
