Oh, fuck. Now we'll be hearing "All Rise" all season on the local news. Later

The pitchers I would want for the Mets are signing elsewhere. That sucks. Later

Edgy MD wrote: History suggests that it would be the exact opposite. The minor leagues flourished before affiliation. That was when there were 16 major league teams, all East of the Mississippi, and before you could see major league baseball on tv. So if a dad wanted to take his kids to see a ball game, it was a local minor league game. Times change. I feel that in today's America, full free agency would have a negative effect on the minors. And the leagues, where major league teams could evaluate and develop players before they signed them, would contract. We can never know for sure. Later

No biggies today. Yet. Later

Thank you for filling in the blanks. I have a concern that if minor league teams are no longer owned (and subsidized) by major league teams, many minor league teams, leagues and jobs would be lost. To me, that would be like saying everyone has the opportunity to attend college, but we're getting rid of many high schools. Later

Interesting. Just read this and I'm at work, so my initial thoughts: Would you have a salary cap or other controls (minor league roster sizes, the number of minor league teams a major league team could own) to make sure a few rich reams wouldn't sign all the good players? What about a salary floor and revenue sharing to keep teams alive (and employ more players)? I realize there are only so many roster slots on a team, but eventually, those slots are filled. What about a limit on contract length, or do you retain a player indefinitely? I'll revisit that list as I have time. Maybe the concept deserves its own thread? Later

Joe Flacco AND Matt Ryan. Later

=Fman99 post_id=113990 time=1670273468 user_id=86] I'm inviting Kate Upton to a winter meating
-
would you rather have taiillon or taijuan? Neither as my #3, but as a #4 or #5, Walker. I'm not sure if the only reason Taillon gave up all those home runs last year was because of YS III. Walker pitched well last year, but faded in the playoffs. Is it a coincidence that Metirish is back and I initially spelled the name as "Wanker"? Later

Seems like this has been a done deal for a while and they wee waiting or the meetings to announce it. Pfuckin' Phills. Later

Kershaw back to LA on a one year deal. Later

I would've paid that just for Kate. Later

Tick Tock, Tick Tock Nothing yet. Not even a vague rumor, much less a deal. Many deals are made after the 6PM local news. I don't like it when the meetings are held on the left coast. ( I don't like baseball on the West Coast, either. But that's a different story) Getting antsy. (like I do during the meetings every year) They have so many holes to fill. Later

Pitcher or hitter? It depends. This discussion reminds me of the comment "Good pitching will always stop good hitting" It is widely attributed to Casey Stengel or Yogi Berra, but was actually said by Pirate pitcher Bob Veale in 1966 who added "and vice versa". https://www.barrypopik.com/index.php/new_york_city/entry/good_pitching_will_always_stop_good_hittinghttps://www.barrypopik.com/index.php/new_york_city/entry/good_pitching_will_always_stop_good_hitting Later

When I woke up this morning I realized I didn't feel as bad for him leaving as I thought I would. The team won 101 games last year and he only started 11 (and won 5) of them. I wish him well (just not against the Mets) and hope the team will sign pitchers who can contribute more than that. Later

Here's a link: https://metsmerizedonline.com/report-rangers-could-explore-deal-for-james-mccann/https://metsmerizedonline.com/report-rangers-could-explore-deal-for-james-mccann/ "McCann has been somewhat of a disappointment in Queens" is an understatement approaching the level of, "Captain, I think the Titanic has sprung a slight leak".

John Heyman reporting all-star CF Bryan Reynolds requesting a trade from the Pirates and the Mets are "one of the teams interested". The problem is, I don't think the Mets have a surplus of major leaguers or major-league-ready minor leaguers at any position to give up in a deal. Later
