    Please do not let this Sano story go off on a broader tangent —thanks everyone.
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Thanks, Sconnie. More info here. Yankees and Twins are in that group of four mentioned https://twitter.com/pedrogomezESPN/status/1273053224543502336

    Pohlad doesn’t seem likely to sell, but I’d bet at least half the franchises have changed hands or changed control in the past 15-20 years.

    Excerpt: Of course since Fay Vincent was pushed out, Selig and Manfred have been more like owner representatives than commissioners. On the idea of a 50-game season being floated:

    You present yourself as an expert on this issue. I think it’s extremely unfair of you to characterize Jeff Passan or our own writer in that way, or other posters; it wasn’t clear if you were talking about someone specific, and frankly we don’t need to know.
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I’m not saying the value won’t rebound—though that’s no sure bet, either. What I am saying is that I think it’s going to be a rough few years for MLB.

    I don’t think the KC Royals — or Minnesota Twins — would fetch $1 Billion dollars today.

    Sure there is bias; maybe we all have bias, and not all teams can finish with 0-162 win-loss record at the end of the season. Do you have any thoughts on what Huntington said?

    The team also announced it:

    I think even a 50 game season at something between 80% and 99% of their remaining salary (high end maybe imo) the players should take that. The players have plenty to lose here, I just think the owners have more to lose. Also correction from earlier: I think young players like Arraez and Garver, with little service time who didn’t get big signing bonuses but have shown they can stick in the big leagues, will be the most hurt. I would hope if the players accept less than their pro-rated salaries for the rest of the season that the richer players would take the cuts for the younger guys.

    I am calling it a worst-case scenario, not something I am confident will happen. But not completely unrealistic to me especially if the two sides remain obstinate and the general situation outside baseball keeps eroding. Olney is already floating the idea of free agents after 2020 (for example, Odorizzi, Cruz) holding out in 2021 until after the new CBA is agreed upon.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    But thinking long term, with revenues that will not return to their previous levels and a CBA negotiation coming up, I think the worst case scenario for owners is that eventually players will retire or leave for international or independent leagues. The players hurt the most would be guys like Berríos and Buxton (my two faves) who have done well financially but lose the chance for large life-changing paydays, but owners will stand to lose much more if MLB becomes a shell of its former self.
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Buster Olney suggests it was the players who offered back 20% from their highest salaried players back to the owners, but the owners leaked the offer to the media in a way to spin it negatively against the players. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29241941/future-mlb-not-just-2020-season-stake If there is no season, players will be taking a 94% pay cut. However I think the owners have the most to lose long term if there is no season. MLB will for sure lose fans, just for starters.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Players are saying these things? Does this include all back pay for April and May? Link?
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    That might be for the best.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Honest question: were you looking for a particular Tim Teufel inside-the-park home run?
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Because who wouldn’t be searching for Tim Teufel videos last night?
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    You’ve made your case. Drew Brees woke up to reality and actually apologized. He admitted his comments lacked awareness and compassion.

    I say we treat people like people, listen to them with open minds and open hearts, and start from there.

    My take on it, in one sentence, is that Max Kepler accidentally stepped in dog s*** and then did a bad job of cleaning it off his shoe before coming back into the house. Kepler should have looked to what Baldelli said as a better response. Kepler will probably be asked about it again at some point. This is going to be a long, long national conversation.

    I have not read the above commentary yet, but I will. And I will probably disagree with a lot of it. I just want to say I appreciate coming to the blog and willing to speak your mind and think out your thoughts without resorting to quick and easy mud slinging in the other thread.

    It has really calmed down in St. Paul, and hopefully Minneapolis. They are two different cities (especially their PDs are vastly different). And I’m too exhausted to keep up with what’s going on in the rest of the country. But it has calmed down here.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I don’t agree with everything in your post but I appreciate your desire to see the healing process. It is already beginning. Lake Street will bounce back, guaranteed.
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Ha, no. I don’t know how anyone can corroborate the headline, though. It could have been umbrella man, young kid by himself out joyriding, or anyone. I’m not sure how much it matters at this point. There are lots of people out there at this point, on both sides of the spectrum, with lots of different motives, and the police are overwhelmed. The most peaceful streetcorner in our city is probably at 38th & Chicago, where the match was lit. There is grace in the world after all.
