The front page of MLB.com right now is making me feel dizzy. Why would you do this?

What jumps out to me immediately is less the weird blurring filter and more the fact that it looks like the Red Sox guy is about to crack open a few of Vlad Jr's ribs.

hypothetical with respect to the A’s: how bad would a team have to be before the sport took some sort of action from a competitive balance standpoint, and what could they do even if they wanted to?

The league could force any owner out (i.e. to sell the team) if the other owners wanted to do so. This is essentially what happened to Frank McCourt at the end of his Dodgers tenure, though indirectly via the league refusing to extend any additional credit to the team which forced it into bankruptcy, in turn forcing a sale.

MLB can compel the sale of a team but it requires the consent of all other 29 owners, which is almost certainly not going to happen because somebody is perceived as being too cheap. That said if Fisher actually does fail to get a proposal up in front of the NV legislature and passed before they go into recess till 2025, I could see some pressure from MLB for him to sell the team to somebody who could potentially re-open negotiations with Oakland or somewhere else. Manfred has wanted to expand for quite a while but has publicly planted his flag that it isn't happening until the A's and Rays' have new stadiums lined up, and I doubt he wants to put that on pause for another two years.

Grats Cubs fans! It's always fun to see a top prospect get called up.

I think things would have to get to a pretty strange place before the league would step in.. like to the point there was clear harm to the brand or other teams...

zoux posted:Whoa what's going on here He screwed around with his swing in the off-season according to a profile I read about him. A lot of the shine has come off, he’s been absolutely awful this year. He had a really bad May last season but it wasn’t as big of a deal because Goldschmidt Donovan and Edman were playing like hall of famers over the first three months. The vaccine stuff and playoff collapse really soured me on him already but if you want a non pitcher to put blame on he’s gotta be the one.

Saw most of Pittsburgh vs Tampa, what was with the Buccos pulling Velasquez in the 4th? He seemed to have an OK game, was he hurt or something?
