IcePhoenix posted:They already set expectations at the start of the offseason so it wasn't really much of a shock. Any big move was always going to have to come via trade. Exactly. And we're talking about a FO that has taken much larger free agency swings than any prior Twins group. Being disappointed the Pohlads used the TV situation to scale back payroll is valid, but Falvey and company have to work within the confines of the budget. If anything, they've been the force that brought payrolls up in recent history.

bees x1000 posted:Angels twitter spreading rumors about Mark Cuban buying the team. He can try, but the MLB ownership establishment detests him; this is what torpedoed his two prior attempts to buy the Cubs. The old guard made it clear, in no uncertain terms, that they would vote against any ownership bid of Cuban's.

Cuban would be perfect for the Angels because he'd come in with big hype and then definitely gently caress it up somehow anyway

Even if the division doesn’t make sense, at least they’re both in it so you can get some fun rivalry games when they’re both good - like Dodgers-Giants. Now that there’s a universal DH they should redo divisions so there’s more of that.

It's negative value to a city who blames every minor inconvenience on Californians moving in.

Wayne Knight posted:It's insane that two texas teams are in the AL west. It's it too late to give the A's to Portland and cancel the plans to build yet another fuckin venue on the Strip with no parking that will gently caress up traffic? I'm still pissed that the big vacant lot where the Fiesta was in Henderson was overlooked. Plenty of space, near a freeway offramp, adjacent to a historic district with good food? gently caress that, we need a shoebox on the Strip! Surely locals will love navigating that bullshit for the loving A's!

It seems like the Royals may have the beginning of a competent core right now, and they actually spent money on FAs, could they actually be competitive soonish?!

I’m not fully sure of that - outside witt, their other big time prospects that graduated have done poorly and they have a bottom tier farm system. They feel unlikely to be competitive at all in the next few years uggy fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Feb 5, 2024 |

AndrewP posted:I'm always surprised that teams do this considering how little they have to pay rookies, even arb eligible ones This is more of a statement - far too many Royals fans remember the years when every decent player would get traded away before they hit FA. They don't have nearly enough talent to be competitive but playing in the AL Central makes it a lot easier to get there.
