Oh no they're definitely running at a loss. Just don't ask any questions or documentation about it at all. Believe the owners and just give them whatever they want now, and then maybe they'll give you more later even though they're a business and have no reason to do so.

vikesfan89 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Amateur baseball being back makes me less interested in what the mlb is doing but I'm sure I'll get amped up for the season once it gets closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I just listened to Manfred’s interview with Dan Patrick, and it was nothing short of an absolute embarrassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuses, lies about the owners wanting to chance the season (he said only 1-2 for health reasons), how the players left millions of dollars on the table, how not expanding the playoffs was a bad thing/the players fault, how 60 games in 63 days with a late start may not be possible, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelonebillsfan Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Translation: We tried to use a once in a century pandemic to destroy the labor union and couldn't stop ******* up and failing. Really just full of confidence for the direction of the sport going forward, really seems like the people who "own" the game really care about the sport and not just grinding every drop of revenue out of it as possible with literally zero regards for anything else.

Thelonebillsfan Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 It's just insane to me though how all this comes out and even in the replies to that tweet, you STILL have people going "yeah but Tony Clark handled this poorly too, really it's everybodies fault". It's almost like 50 years of destroying unions and gutting labor laws was bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingseanjohn Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Quote Thirty-one players were positive for COVID-19 in Major League Baseball's first round of coronavirus testing, the league and players' union announced Friday... Seven staff members also tested positive... The positives come from 19 MLB teams, the league said. All 30 teams began training camp Friday at their home ballparks. MLB will not identify who tests positive for the coronavirus, citing privacy laws. Teams also will not specifically announce a COVID-19 injured list placement for a player who is removed from the club after testing positive; it will just be a trip to the injured... Cleveland Indians outfielder Delino DeShields Jr. was one player announced Friday as testing positive. Chris Antonetti, the team's president of baseball operations, said DeShields tested positive before coming to Cleveland. San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham is another player who was announced as testing positive for COVID-19. General manager A.J. Preller said Friday that Pham is asymptomatic and has begun self-isolation. Source I can't see this season taking place. This is just from the first round of testing before any games or training camps have taken place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umphrey Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 You really think they'll shut it down again? Everyone makes money on the season even if the MLB clubs are running AAA players out there every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
