Perhaps if the Jays play in Pitt, they should call themselves Grays as homage to a former Pitt-based ball club.

In other news rumors building LAD and Mookie doing something big.

https://www.bleachernation.com/cubs/2020/07/22/report-mookie-betts-closing-in-on-monster-extension-with-the-dodgers/

Boston radio station WEEI and Lou Merloni are reporting that Mookie Betts, one of the biggest stars in the game, will not hit free agency this offseason as expected, and will re-up with the Dodgers on a 10-year deal worth something in the $350 to $400 million range “within the next couple days.”

If he was going to do that, why didn't he do it here?!

pouts!

I'm guessing a pandemic might have shaded his thinking about long-term security.

Just a WAG.

LA is more friendly to people of color? Just a guess.

Could be but LA has a history of very strained race relations as well. And far more violent than anything experienced in Boston.

You may not he old enough to recall, or suffer from selective amnesia, but LA burned in the Watts riots in '65 , and the Rodney King riots in '92, and more recently the riots surrounding the George Floyd murder.

Lotta angry people out there. 

Seeing as Mookie has mosltly experienced LA in quarantine and isolation, and given covid-19 is now revisting LA with a vengenance, Mookie might not meet his next door neighbor for months. So he might have to wait on judging the friendliness of LA for awhile.

I'm guessing he signed for money and forever security.

But the players say they don't want to play in Boston, which has nothing to do with Rodney King, and everything to do with the bigots in the stands at Fenway.

Nice try at deflection, though.

No deflection at all. As you seemed to believe that LA was a friendly local for a man of color, I gave you a brief refresher course in LA's riot-scarred history of race relations over the past few decades.

You're welcome.

And as you have no idea what Mookie's motivations were I'd suggest a 14 year deal worth some $380 million is as likely a motivator as a friendly neighbor he has yet to meet.

Because ONLY you "know what Mookie's motivations were".

Okay.

We'll go with that. The omniscient banks.

Heh

[bankshot1]

Nope i certainly don't claim any special insight into the mind of Mookie.

But I suggested that 14 years and $380 million contract at a time when many are wondering about the future of mega lucrative contracts because of covid and social distancing and its impact on reveneus, and a contract giving him and his family multi-generational wealth and security, seemed like a pretty decent  primary motivator.

NEW YORK (AP) — Taking a chance to review instant replay, Major League Baseball doubled the isolated cameras available for video reviews to 24 this year.

MLB also arranged for high-frame rate cameras to stream directly to the new replay operations center and ballpark video rooms, and for MLB-controlled 4K cameras with zoom lenses to be installed at high locations behind home plate.

A new replay hub about twice the size of the old one was constructed as part of the move of Major League Baseball and MLB Advanced Media to a combined office space in Manhattan, across the street from Radio City Music Hall.

“We think that the product of all these items is going to result in a much more rapid review process, so that we’ll be getting video available much more quickly to the umpires, who will be making decision more quickly,” Chris Marinak, MLB executive vice president of strategy, technology and innovation, said Monday. “The same will be true of the replay personnel in the ballpark, who are helping their manager make a decision on whether to challenge.”

Each manager will have 20 seconds to decide whether to ask for a video review of a call subject to a challenge, down from 30.

More cameras, less time to look before making a decision to challenge.

Not Pittsburgh.

Players prefer not Buffalo.

60 game road trip seems like a bad idea.

Outfielder Mookie Betts and the Los Angeles Dodgers are in agreement on a 12-year, $365 million contract extension, sources familiar with the deal tell ESPN. Combined with the one-year, $27 million deal he’s currently under, the total is 13 years and $392 million.
