Feel bad for A's fans, but why was it a unanimous vote. There was no owner in Major League Baseball that had the guts to dissent? The A's owner is a piece of shit and probably a con artist.
 
Former Cardinals manager Mike Shildt, who had been senior advisor to the Padres, has been promote to the Padres manager.
 
Was the Cardinals rotation that bad? They've gone out and signed three starting pitchers already -- Sonny Gray, Lance Lynn and Kyle Gibson.

Their run differential was -110, and their team ERA was 4.79. They had some definite holes to patch.
 
Andre Dawson says he sent a letter to National Baseball Hall of Fame chair Jane Forbes Clark asking to change the cap on his plaque from Expos to Cubs. They made the decision for him 13 years ago and he's been objecting to it ever since.
 
Huh. You'd think they just change it for the player. Or is there some dumb bylaw that says they can't and/or it costs "too much" to do it?

The whole "Tampa Bay is paying Wade Boggs to go into the Hall of Fame as a Devil Ray" rumors (which he denied) freaked the committee out. They wouldn't let Gary Carter go into the Hall as a Met. Dave Winfield had the choice between Padres and Yankees. Obviously Albert Pujols won't be going into the Hall as a Dodger. Stuff like that would never happen.

Roger Clemens wanted to go into the Hall as a Yankee. They probably would've made him go as a Red Sox, but I guess that's no longer an issue.

The player should be able to make the choice, the only caveat I would add is that they needed to play for a team for 'X' number of seasons to choose it.
 
I heard on my local sports station this morning that MLB is asking all cities that have a minor league affiliated baseball team to upgrade their stadiums by 2025 or risk losing their affiliation.
For the city of Everett that would mean spending upwards of $80 million taxpayers money to upgrade the Everett Aquasox stadium.

I would say a percentage of their career would be the better mark.

That's fucking insane.
 
The Mariners are sending Jarred Kelenic, left-hander Marco Gonzales and first baseman Evan White, plus cash, to the Braves for right-handers Cole Phillips and Jackson Kowar.

Basically, this seems like the Mariners selling Kelenic to get out from under those other two contracts, Gonzales' in particular.
