They added 1 elite hitter, 1 league average hitter and 1 terrible hitter.

They are counting on Stanton, Rizzo, Trevino and DLJM, guys who either had serious injuries or played like they were completely cooked last season or rookies like Volpe, Pierera, Wells and Cabrera who didn't hit like major league players to play great. The Yankees overrate their team like no other.

I really don't get that patch. Your audience isn't going to go out and buy Guggenheim, they want McDonalds or Coca Cola. Bizzarro anti-advertising.

It's the same logic as buying the team itself. Guggenheim Partners manages over $300B of assets. The team is like a perk or a bit of bragging rights for the financial services firm, it's about association. Guggenheim wants to project an image of elite competence fused with respected tradition and stability. They do have an individual investors services division which competes with like Vanguard/Schwab/etc, and the target audience for that does overlap with baseball (old white men).

The new jerseys are so bad. They look and feel like those cheap knockoffs you would get on Ebay 15 years ago. If you have been wanting to get a jersey, I'd recommend seeing if your local team shop has last years in stock still. They're heavily discounting them and are much higher quality.

I should have snapped some pics but I'm pretty sure my little league travel team had higher quality jerseys back in the day.

I hate the patches in general, but within the current hellscape, that doesn't seem too bad. Hopefully they have the good taste to switch to a white diamond with blue text on the white jerseys. We all know that won't be the case, but I want to keep my hope alive.

I swear I'll stop with football posts in the MLB thread but thank you for this - it's amazing.


The Royals finally revealed the location of their downtown stadium yesterday and shared some renderings. I'll have to get back to KC this year or next to see the K one last time. I hate that they're replacing it but at least they're doing an un-Barves and moving from the suburbs into downtown.

Not terribly surprising. I like Press but there's a reason his nickname is Stressley and he was a lights out set up/fireman whenever we had that, uh, other guy closing. I know his postseason record is sterling, but he seems to allow a lot of traffic and frankly I don't need that kind of anxiety.
