    Hell, I’m extremely skeptical that Las Vegas will support baseball. That city has been getting crushed by lack of tourists. The tourists that show up have an abundance of other entertainment options besides a random A’s game on a Friday night.

    Perhaps we will see Luis back in a Twins uniform for 2026…

    It’s really no surprise why baseball hasn’t expanded in 30 years even though it’s brought up every year. There are no cities available to expand where they can be sustainable with their local revenue.

    All of the other major sports in the US realized they need to be one for all or all for none decades ago. But baseball keeps dragging their feet. The Chicago Bears in the 1940s and 50s could have decimated professional football as we know it today because they were the large market and outspend everyone. But the league realized back in the 1960s that sharing revenue collectively was best to expand the game and league. If they decided every team’s finances are determined by their local market, Green Bay Packers would have been dead in the water.

    The NHL is easier to follow for sure. I’m thinking of concessions to make for the large market teams who will want to feel like they can gain an advantage.

    The NBA model might be the way to go. Salary floor, soft salary cap with luxury tax on money spent over the soft cap. Soft cap determined by a percentage of league wide revenue. Implement a max/super max contract FAs can be offered… the current 12, 13 year contracts are absurd.
  7. Vanimal46
    Rebuilding teams could sign veteran FAs to 1 year deals, they could trade for bad contracts and get draft capital in return, and other options available in pro sports. But there should be an expectation to meet a floor of spending every year.

    Are we ever going to learn to stop giving Charley Walters attention? He is the biggest hack sports writer in town.

    Classic PJ Fleck week 1 game. I’m very impressed with the young QB Drake Lindsey. His WRs and TEs have been letting him down most of the game. He should have way over 300 yards passing this game. Call me a homer but I think whenever Lindsey declares for the draft, he’ll be a 1st round draft prospect. Can Fleck keep him here until he declares? No one knows.
  10. Vanimal46
    Drake Lindsey has some serious zip on his passes. Might be another good one for the Gophers.

    Oh my. It’s gonna be a heavyweight fight in the NFC North this year
  12. Vanimal46
    Yep, they probably should trade both. My hope is Falvey and Baldelli are both fired after this season and the new GM keeps 1 of Ryan or Lopez to lead the new and improved culture.
  13. Vanimal46
    We got a little teaser last weekend and now it’s officially here! I am weirdly optimistic about the Gophers this year. I have no delusions of them making it to the Big 10 (really 18) championship game, but I could see a 9-10 win team this year if the new QB Lindsay is legit. Texas is my adopted football team after living down there several years. The preseason #1 ranking is aggressive. Saturday is going to be a big challenge going to Ohio State. Can’t wait!

    Go shirtless tomorrow so I can spot you on camera

    That half inning looked familiar against a left handed breathing pitcher

    I’d feel a lot better if it was the end of the 8th instead of the 6th. Lots of time left for Toronto to carve up our bullpen

    This is my life more often than not for my job. This is a nightmare and why I look for emergency exit rows to book at the very least.
  18. Vanimal46
    Come on Keaschall you can’t let that by you without acting like a goalie in hockey
  19. Vanimal46
    Depths are probably the most terrifying. You’ll never see me deep sea diving. I swim well enough to survive and that’s it
  20. Vanimal46
    An embarrassing story that I’ll share. Last year a friend of mine wanted to watch a Twins game in the 300s section of TF in the highest row of the stadium. We were behind home plate, and feeling the breeze on my back plus being up that high freaked me out. We had to move down to other seats because I could not sit there the entire game.

    I can say with 100% certainty I could not do what Audra did right there. As I get older my fear of heights has grown. Can’t do it
  22. Vanimal46
    Are you a flats or drummies kind of guy?
  23. Vanimal46
    Grand Rapids, MN boy as I’m looking at his Wikipedia! The goalie everyone to this day still emulates is Patrick Roy. Loved him. And Dominik Hasek with his legendary 2 pad stack
  24. Vanimal46
    Royce with new blue bling around his neck that I’ve never seen before
  25. Vanimal46
    This is a challenge for me as a former goalie in hockey… Felix Potvin but idk who Casey is.
