Whose fault is that? You’ve never even invited them.

The thought was Klentak suggested players may not get supercontracts for the time being because of 'everything going on'.

This suggests otherwise.
Not everything I think is something I should say.

13/380

eta - guess 12/350 would be the extension.

Realken says PA wont sign off on the blue jays playing in Pittsburgh so Toronto is looking at alternate sites.

The problem with those sites were the lighting wasn't good enough I believe.

I hope it doesn't come to this, but the Jays might have to do some old school baseball barnstorming action.

Mookie Betts extension is for 12 years $365 million. It is tacked on to the current 1 year 27 million contract he is under. So overall his owed 392 million over the next 13 years. The extension includes a $65 million signing bonus.

Doesn't that make him a minority owner of the team now?

If MLB, PA agree to a 16-team playoff field for 2020, that likely means, given the calendar limits, that the first round would be best-of-three. The heavy favorites, Dodgers and Yankees, might be playing for their lives right away.

Wait, is this still being discussed? I thought they already decided not to.

Betts deal seems fair in the context of last year's deals.
