Kudos to Inder for honouring Ratty's launching of new MLB threads.

Re: MLB 2021
Absolutely appalling how the scam of publicly financed stadiums/arenas gets played out over and over and over again. But there's always tax dollars available to make rich companies—construction, entertainment, lodging—richer!

Re: MLB 2021
MLB kept insisting that we upgrade our local ball bark that has hosted a single A team for many years or they would move the team. Some upgrades were done but thankfully we didnt go the massive public funding route. There were those pushing to build a new waterfront stadium. That whole we need a new stadium or we'll move the team line was pushed in a lot of areas and now the rug's been pulled out from under so many places.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑02 Jan 2021, 10:20amAbsolutely appalling how the scam of publicly financed stadiums/arenas gets played out over and over and over again.

Re: MLB 2021
Just came to post my condolences. Gotta assume the Mets will try to keep him from free agency, too. Who's the next hopeful, Springer?

Re: MLB 2021
Sounds like the Jays could have outbid the Mets but decided to hang on to their prospects for now. Would have made sense if they had an extension in place, but would've been v risky if he's going to test FA.
They've been talking about LeMahieu, Realmuto, Springer, Bauer (ugh), Odorizzi and Jackie Bradley Jr. (plus some others), I believe. Really hope they don't sign Millennial Schilling-lite.

Re: MLB 2021
Bauer was supposedly yapping about $40M a year. Which is laughable, but indicative of how loony his opening move is.Inder wrote: ↑07 Jan 2021, 5:27pmSounds like the Jays could have outbid the Mets but decided to hang on to their prospects for now.

Renowned asshole/birther/etc, Bauer. Also, sorry in advance to his cousin's brother-in-law who will find this thread in 2028.revbob wrote: ↑07 Jan 2021, 7:18pmWho is that?Inder wrote: ↑07 Jan 2021, 5:27pmSounds like the Jays could have outbid the Mets but decided to hang on to their prospects for now.

Re: MLB 2021
Well, ownership is kinda hard up for cash. (Seriously, tho, in terms of ownership and market—all of fucking Canada—there is no reason why the Jays shouldn't be toe-to-toe with the big guys in budget.)Inder wrote: ↑07 Jan 2021, 7:22pmRenowned asshole/birther/etc, Bauer.
