marlins making some big moves.


The Miami Marlins will install a synthetic grass surface at Marlins Park as part of a multi-year corporate partnership with Shaw Sports Turf. With the enhancement to the playing surface, the club is also adjusting the outfield dimensions in center field and right-center field, moving the fences in towards home plate.

The distance in straight away center field will now be 400 feet, while the distance in right-center field will be 387 feet — a reduction of 12 feet. This marks the second time in the ballpark’s history that the outfield walls have been adjusted, having also happened prior to the 2016 season.

Why is MLB wanting to cut 40 some odd minor league teams? WTF?

MLB: oh so you minor leaguers player want to eat a living wage?

MLB: ok to do that, we are going to need to get rid of 1000 of you and your coaches support staff etc.

Horrible
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

When you have the starters we do, there is simply no option but to pass on Cole Hamels.

I guess when you can actually develop elite talent internally you can do stuff like give a guy like him 18 million.

City of Anaheim and the Angels have reached a deal to keep the Angels in Anaheim purportedly through 2050. The City will sell the stadium and the parking areas to the team for 325 million.

18 million probably made it a little easier to pass.
