    MLB 2020: We're Playing, but We Can't Agree on Anything

    Last I checked, the MLB uniform player contract allows the Commissioner to supend the contract during any national emergency during which Major League Baseball is not played. See Paragraph 11

    Alex Verdugo - on-field discussion thread

    Has there been any reporting as to where AV will hit in the lineup once healthy? Or any speculation?

    2020 Spring Training News, Rumors, Trades

    Josh James, come on down. Will be interesting to see if the Astros' pitching "magic" of recent years shows up in a major way with guys like James and Urquidy this year.

    The Athletic: The Astros stole signs electronically in 2017 part of a much broader issue for Major League Baseball

    No it isn't. Based on the reports from The Athletic, when Beltran came to the Astros from the Yankees in 2017, he told them that their sign-stealing methods were “behind the times.”

    Betts/Price to LA for Verdugo/Jeter Downs/TBA

    I don't get all the Maeda bashing in this thread. He's a sub-4.00 FIP guy with an insane K-% on a team-friendly deal. What's not to like?

    Alex Verdugo, new Red Sox star!

    I'm curious how you know this. The accounts state that multiple Dodgers were staying at this hotel.

    Betts/Price to LA for Verdugo/Jeter Downs/TBA

    What 4-way deal? Angels-Dodgers deal is clearly separate from the Sox-Twins-Dodgers 3-way.

    Alex Verdugo, new Red Sox star!

    Agreed, it looks like the only thing the blog post directly accuses Verdugo, by name, of doing, is partying.

    Betts/Price to LA for Verdugo/Jeter Downs/TBA

    Has there been any indication yet that the Sox will turn around and use some of the money newly saved to add some players this offseason?

    On mobile so no link but MLB released a statement saying no players have received a TUE for HGH.

    Cora in line for major suspension?

    Good points, Cora likely was interviewed about this.

    Cora in line for major suspension?

    Does anyone think Actually is interesting that report lays most of the blame on Cora when he is no longer with the team, and goes out of its way to say Luhnow knew little about it and Hinch tried to stop it. Maybe everyone in Houston threw Cora under the bus since he is with the Sox.

    Cora in line for major suspension?

    Have to wonder if any of ownership's reticence to spend this offseason was because they knew this was coming down the pike. Personally I'm more worried about losing draft picks than losing a manager.

    2019-20 Offseason News, Rumors, Trades

    Wonder if he means big in size only, or in impact. Have been rumors of an Arenado trade all offseason. Edit: I see this was already speculated, and Rosenthal did not mention COL.

    Pham is pretty fantastic, no? I remember an article on FG not so long ago making the case that he is a baby Trout.

    The Athletic: The Astros stole signs electronically in 2017 part of a much broader issue for Major League Baseball

    Sucks to hear Kevin Goldstein is involved. Was a big fan of his podcast with Jason Parks when they were both with Baseball Prospectus back in the day. It will be interesting to see how this story continues to unfold.

    Royals owner David Glass negotiating sale of team to John Sherman for more than $1 billion

    Wade Davis was their best pitcher. You probably mean Young was their best starting pitcher. Not disagreeing with your overall sentiment but the bullpen was their strength IIRC.
