Dumb rule ,always thought they think they are superior

Facial hair is back, well at least "well groomed " is anyway https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/yankees-change-facial-hair-policy Managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner made the following statement regarding the alteration of Yankees' facial hair policy: well groomed facial hair is at least “In recent weeks I have spoken to a large number of former and current Yankees -- spanning several eras -- to elicit their perspectives on our longstanding facial hair and grooming policy, and I appreciate their earnest and varied feedback. These most recent conversations are an extension of ongoing internal dialogue that dates back several years. Ultimately the final decision rests with me, and after great consideration, we will be amending our expectations to allow our players and uniformed personnel to have well-groomed beards moving forward. It is the appropriate time to move beyond the familiar comfort of our former policy.”

A March 1 deadline loomed for both parties to opt out of the final three years of a contract that otherwise would have run through 2028. The broadcaster informed the league of its decision to opt out on Thursday morning, according to two people briefed on ESPN’s thinking. The league, in turn, then proceeded to say it too would opt out.

ESPN and MLB to end relationship Major League Baseball and ESPN have “mutually agreed” to end their national television deal after the upcoming 2025 season, according to a memo baseball commissioner Rob Manfred sent to his owners Thursday afternoon that was obtained by The Athletic. Manfred wrote the league has “not been pleased with the minimal coverage that MLB has received on ESPN’s platforms over the past several years outside of the actual live game coverage.” https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6149921/2025/02/20/mlb-espn-opt-out-tv-deal?source=user-shared-article

What are the odds this is a Chevy thing ? Like did Soto actually slap down his card and pay for it ? Does Baty pay taxes ,or is this a gift ? How do these things work ?

Puma reports it is indeed a Tahoe and Soto said it cost $92k

=Gwreck post_id=185648 time=1740072885 user_id=56] I believe it's a Chevy Tahoe. I saw elsewhere it costs about $80k.

Spto bought Baty a souped up Lincoln Navigator for #22 https://www.mlb.com/news/juan-soto-gifts-brett-baty-a-car-for-giving-up-no-22https://www.mlb.com/news/juan-soto-gifts-brett-baty-a-car-for-giving-up-no-22

Yeah, I'm tolerating it and it's not awful, just a lot of drama , Betty is very annoying 😆 I'm watching it as GF loves it and and the agreement is she watches Better Call Saul with me after this series is done

I always liked that his # was 0 , such an odd thing

About to finish season 3 , really picked up over the last few episodes

Overall I liked Adam plenty , took the ball and gave his all

This is interesting ($24.99), season-long ($124.99) or yearlong ($149.99) subscription. SportsNet New York, the Mets’ local television partner, will launch a subscription streaming service on Tuesday that allows cord-cutting fans to watch games without paying for a TV bundle. The move is part of a growing trend that Major League Baseball hopes will help combat a longstanding irritant for fans: blackouts. “The biggest thought is fan friendly, right?” commissioner Rob Manfred said. “As long as that digital product is out there, the fan, whether it’s the best option or not, has an option to get the games and that’s really important.” SNY is the ninth team broadcaster this year to offer a standalone in-market streaming product for the first time — and the first third-party regional sports network to offer the service in conjunction with MLB itself. That partnership could prove notable in the context of Manfred’s broader ambitions to sell more national packages to major digital companies, an effort that would require cooperation from big-market teams like the Mets. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6143098/2025/02/18/mets-sny-streaming-blackout?source=user-shared-article
