fat-cat owners who want a tame pet.

Oh Manfred wants 60 but we need more

If we say no he shows us the door

Not yet it's not

Bauer turned on the union today...nice to see

I'd love to know which teams had the YES votes.

Time for soccer (first US sport back) and hockey.

As predicted:
https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/23/us/mlb-2020-season-spt-trnd/index.html

Baseball will resume on July 23 or 24, Manfred says. 60 games. Players will report to their teams by July 1. "Spring" training will be conducted in their home parks, not Florida/Arizona. As previously discussed, regional play (NLE vs. ALE). And DH for both leagues "for health reasons."

So playing just the AL E (I assume 40 games) and the NL E (20 games) should mean some fairly stiff comp for the shortened season with the Ys, Rays, Sox, Nats, Braves, Mets and Phils being in general "good teams".

I wonder how long the season will be before CV hits the clubhouses hard.

Free agent games planned for Nashville Sounds stadium.

Players will make $400 per week and be keeping in shape if MLB teams need a player

What I find interesting is the trade season soon to be upon us.  How many sellers do we see right off the bat - with the intent of gaining back lost revenue?

All games should be outdoors.  Are there still teams who play in a dome with no retractable roof?  The twins?

Tampa's roof isn't retractable. Minnesota doesn't have a roof.

Then it's foolish to play there.
Pick an outdoor ballpark in the vicinity.
There are many.
