What makes people so convinced Nashville and all the other relocation threat cities won’t give the same problems as the places teams are failing to squeeze. I have no idea why some areas are supposed to be threats when there's zero traction of public money being readied outside of Vegas and SLC. Just a few small private groups saying "yeah we’d want a team here" with not much concrete beyond that.

>>145746398i think most of it is actually botting from MLB. they have been trying to use the threat of relocation against tampa and oakland for a decade+ now and have been unsuccessful. they finally got a dumb right wing state to steal from their taxpayers in las vegas to give the jew billionaire a ballpark, but they are striking out everywhere else. florida and tennessee are still their best bets, though, since both are dumb right wing states that will steal from their taxpayers to give jewish billionaires a ballpark.

>go online>see there are retards blaming the ownership for the Rays situation >when the vote to secure funding for the stadium was pushed back by the city officials so long that new politicians were elected that are against the bill >this is apparentally the Rays fault because they won't foot the bill entirely themselves when other places will be willing to use public fundingPeople are retarded and will make this another A's situation if the Rays move and act like the city government are not just as if not likely more responsible than ownership for relocation.
>>145747820If a week's delay is enough for the owner to completely flip the negotiating table and lash out, I’d almost suspect he WANTS this to fail.

>>145747820the only thing that is retarded is giving public money to a private business that keeps profits private. if the public is funding it, the public should be owning it.

Giving public money to help finance a team's stadium is the way it has been whether you like it or not. Why would a billionaire ever fully fund a stadium himself when doing so would force him to sell off a significant amount of what makes him a billionaire to begin with when it is precedent that public money is part of the equation. Retards like you will say don't give them money and then go surprised Pikachu face when a billionaire and his private business leave to one of the 12 other places lining up to give them a better deal.Montreal, Nashville, Utah, NC, and Portland are all licking their lips rn.
>>145748064he is decent. in a trade for eric orze he is godlike
>>145748206Considering baseball is not needed, let him pack it up and take it elsewhere. For vital businesses, just nationalize their shit at the barrel of a gun. Has worked wonders in China and got guys like (((Sternberg))) spooked.
I don’t want him on >my team posters in shambles
and for the record -- MLB has got absolutely nobody lined up to give them anything. that's why they went with this deal in st. petersburg in the first place when they've been saying for 20 years they need to be in tampa instead

>>145748084it's ok our big signing will be an elite bat that can't field
>Furthermore, Olney stated, “I’ve spoken with executives (GMs) about this, and all 30 teams believe he will go to the Dodgers. That’s the reality. It’s not just an overwhelming consensus; it’s unanimous,” as he asserted on the podcast Baseball Tonight.Regarding Roki Sasaki
>>145748620they are probably going to trade ward, as well.just watch. perry is going to turn tens of millions in offseason spending into negative WAR. atlanta has not missed a beat with him gone.
>Kamala Harris would have thrown out the ceremonial first pitch at the home opener of the World Series Champion Los Angeles Dodgers as part of her duties as President of the United States
>>145746974>>145746843It should be pointed out that Buffalo wouldn't be on the fucking map without the sports teams. Why the fuck are Vegas, Dallas, or Salt Lake City financing teams? They already are their own draws. They don't need a sports team to bring in extra tourism.
>>145748662Unless you get something really good for Ward, and you probably won't, then trading him doesn't make much sense.
>>145748660and yet>The Athletic’s Jim Bowden is not convinced Los Angeles will acquire Sasaki.>“Although the Dodgers are interested in Sasaki and some in the industry have touted them as the favorites to land him, I don’t think that’s the case,” Bowden wrote. “In fact, based on my conversations with league sources, including front-office decision-makers who are optimistic their chances of signing Sasaki are just as strong as any team, I think it’s unlikely he’ll end up with the Dodgers.”>Bowden’s reasoning against the Dodgers as a potential landing spot for Sasaki lies in finances. The right-hander will not be arbitration-eligible until winter 2028, and free agency will not be an option until the 2030-31 offseason. To maximize his income, Sasaki will utilize endorsements. However, deals may be hard to find with two other Japanese-born players on the roster, says Bowden.>“In Los Angeles, he’d be in the shadow of both Ohtani and Yamamoto, which would lessen his endorsement ceiling,” Bowden wrote. “Yamamoto has experienced this to a degree, as being on the same team as Ohtani has led to Kodak Senga of the New York Mets drawing more endorsement deals than Yamamoto, according to a league source.”mets are more likely
>>145748738Ah yes. He's leaving 100s of millions on the table to arrive 2 years early only to split hairs about a million here or there. That's totally believable.
>>145748692Teams hire """analysts""" and """consultants""" to pull numbers out of their asses and present them to officials how this new piece of concrete will generate so much more economic activity and tax revenue. Following the A's saga has gotten me very familiar with Jeremy Aguero, just today he released a """study""" about how great the hosting F1 has been for Vegas and they should totally keep doing it.

>>145748660>>145748738methinks it's pointless to speculate on where Sasaki will go. But then again posting on 4chan is pointless desubaka
>>145748809I was nervous about the Padres/Darvish thing until I read that literally every GM assumes he's already a Dodger. I feel more confident now.
>methinks
>>145748816Yeah just going on vibes I feel like he'll go to the Dodgers but I've learned not to trust baseball insiders other than Jeff Passan

>>145748816no mention in all this time about his relationship with either Ohtani or Y2 tells me they're just trying to manufacture a different storyline to add drama.
>>145748904no because sasaki would overshadow senga, but at the same time senga would be able to mentor himmets are actually the perfect fit for sasaki

I hear Soto has already agreed to sign with the White Sox, he wants to see how hard he can carry a team
>>145749291>it was 5-0
Crazy how more people cared about the Rangers winning the World Series than the Dodgers. Something about the Dodgers feels so fake, like no one even cares.
>>145749328Yeah
What team would make you the maddest if the big free agent from your favorite team signed there instead? Like if Pete Alonso joined the Braves or Yankees, would that make Mets fans burn their merchandise?
>>145749342the dodgers already won* and were supposed to win more so this recent win feels more like a realization of what was long expected. as opposed to a superlative "wow I can't believe it" victorydodgers are simply the real deal, I'm afraid.
>>145749328that is quite the physique
>>145749357Yeah. Like I said, it's weird how no one really gives a shit about the Dodgers winning. It's a bigger deal in Japan than it is in the US which is pretty odd.
/mlb/- head canon general
>>145749368>Like I said, it's weird how no one really gives a shit about the Dodgers winningYeah. Like I said it's not really weird at all given the expectations.
>>145749380Nothing you said was correct, I was just trying not to be rude. You should probably lurk more before you post here.
>>145749368people don't care when the team the MLB says you should be rooting for and was always going to be in the World Series wins the World Series. It basically feels like a foregone conclusion. Not to mention, tons of people still have the Ohtani contract in the back of their heads so they just think "Oh wow, the team that spent the most money out of any sport in history on a single player won, no way!" No matter how much people try to tell you other teams spend comparable amounts on their own payrolls.
Female ass.
More people watched the World Series in Japan than did in the US. It's pretty cool that Japan cares more than the US

>An average of 15.8 million people in the U.S. viewed the World Series across all of FOX’s platforms. That’s a 67% increase from the 2023 World Series between the D-backs and Rangers. This season’s matchup between two longtime World Series rivals received a lot of attention from younger fans especially. Viewership by people between the ages of 18 and 34 years old increased by 101% from last year -- the largest increase from any demographic.
>>145749494Baseball is back, in a BIG way!
>>145749494I don't have the chart, so I don't remember off the top of my head, but isn't that kind of average/low compared to a lot of the ones in the last decade?
>>145749403proof?
Brew Crew
the Central took another managerial award
>>145749561I've seen it posted here but didn't save, here's another excerpt from another article.The series averaged 15.808 million viewers across the FOX platforms, ranking it behind only the 2011 World Series (Cardinals-Rangers that went seven games with an average of 16,521,143), the 2017 Fall Classic (seven games with an average of 18,701,429) and the 2016 World Series that saw the Chicago Cubs break their World Series drought against the Cleveland Indians that went an epic seven games (average viewership of 22,846,429).Basedball peaked during the Cubs-Indians game, I doubt anything will top it just due to the scenario behind it. Lebron bringing a title to da land and getting the whole city in a fervor over their city, cubs trying to break their long ass drought. Perfect series.

>>145753155I know, I've been to Japan tons of times, but for some reason I've never really noticed the White Sox gear. The same goes for universty gear as I see lots of Ivy League and other notable schools (e.g., UCLA, Cal). I sometimes see my alma mater, but I always assume it's just a fashion thing instead of them also being an alumnus. The girl I was with just knows that that Dodgers won and that Shohei is on the team, but that's about it. She has no idea who Yamamoto is even though we're in Osaka (he was on the Orix Buffaloes).
>>145753271pic related
>>145753448Every fucking sport has that problem, but blaming le zoomers instead of blackout policies and absurd prices for cable is retarded
>>145753494There's a myriad of issues, no doubt. I choose to target the problem I dislike most.
>>145753501understandable
>>145753448It happened because of millennials/boomers/xers and their love of cable. Cable killed baseball, having a regional tv deal tied to watch baseball with a certain package that is 5 times the normal cost of the default package is awful. Not to mention they slowly phased out local games on local tv, hey retards remember that? When you used to get games for fre on over the air tv?
>>145753419NY and PA used to have 3 teams
>>145753519>When you used to get games for fre on over the air tv?vgh.... those were the days....A bunch of hockey and basketball teams have recently been moving to OTA networks, the ducks permanently moved to KCOP over the offseason. The Kings and Clippers also air a few games on KCAL and KTLA respectively but they still use the gay ass bally graphicsI really hope the Kings can work out a permanent OTA deal after their bally contract is up.

>>145753475this
>>145753560this is kinda funny coz the reason, the only reason, the dodgers are able to spend so much is because they were the last team to get the truly great RSN deal
>>145753634I recently bought a samsung TV as well. You need to buy a digital antenna to get the local channels, that's how I watch the hawks

I think it was the Dodgers, Yankees, Blue Jays, Red Sox, Giants, Cubs, Phillies, and Mets. But the Dodga's deal completely dwarfs anything any other team is getting. $8 billion. They signed it right before the cable bubble (if you will) popped
>>145754382to be fair you have to have a pretty high IQ to understand dansby's value. with his elite defense the floor is raised! look at his WAR if you don't believe me
>>145754407this reads like sarcasm
>>145754395>Jeff PassanPeff Jassan
>>145754448It was meant to be sarcastic but there is actually a lot of value in Dansby's defense, especially with the Cubs rotation that pitch to contact. It's just kind of a massive fucking bummer when you're packing in ~3 million fans a year in the 3rd largest city in the country and the marquee signing of the rebuild is a glove first shortstop that hits at a league average level
>>145754407I think he was talking about javy baez
>>145754473I wasn't. Although Baez also is dogshit these days.
>>145754477How much is Swanson getting paid?
>>145754525Like 25 a year or something. But I don't think Swanson's contract is as bad as Heyward. Heyward was paid 23 a year but he also played right field which doesn't touch the ball near as much as SS.
>>145754550Oof that slash is brutal for 25 million though. Sub 100 OPS+ too and very little power.
>>145749406>>145749380>>145749400Regardless , its kinda weird seeing the MLB out preform the NBA .I kind of remember when the Cavs Warrior rivalry was at the center of the sports world .
>>145754596>this year we were up against a WSUh...erm...uh...humpf...
I'm literally a girl
>>145754596NBA is so fucked when lebron retires, their new stars are soulless. Not to mention their new "tournament" is literally worthless. The game is also devolving into a memechuck fest, it was always a meme sport but it's hilarious how they train all their 7fters to be meme chuckers now
>>145754550It's really not a bad contract. He is legitimately the best defensive shortstop in baseball and a league average hitter, that is worth $25 million a year.>>145754567it's really not brutal. you can troll me and say I'm coping but elite defense at SS is incredibly valuable. he had a down year last year in terms of slug but he's typically slightly above average. He was a 4.8 WAR player in 2023 and 4.0 in 2024. I don't think people can appreciate that unless you're watching him every day. The issue is that he is the Cubs highest paid player. He should be batting 6th
methinks Dansby moving to the same city as Pugh made him a bit distracted...maybe as a Brewer he won't be distracted from being in the same city but he will still be an hour and a half north...
>>145754664yeah..YEAH!!!Separate him from dat whore!!!
>>145754596Regardless of how annoying it is sometimes, MLB's attention on stars and new rules brought in more viewers. Games in the NBA are in their lowest state of watchability and none of their new stars are close to Lebron or Curry in carrying viewership.
>>145754664she's so sexy i dont blame him vgh
>>145754641Not trolling but you def want a guy getting paid that much to be at least a little more productive at the plate. You’re right that I don’t watch enough cubs to appreciate his defense, I’m also spoiled by having the best hitting shortstop in the league on >my team :)
>>145754680Faggot ass fagdor. Bithc ass nigga lol. Pussy ass mets got FUCKED
>>145754694sheesh go off
>>145754680I mean I am coping, Dansby was the 4th best SS in that class (behind Turner Bogaerts and Correa) and other than Bogaerts they're all proving why but Jed would rather run the Cubs like the Rays so he gets the "safest" one in Dansby that is a fucking automatic out for half the year but he raises muh floor because of his defense.
Fuck my ass.

We all HATE the resident cubs whore!!

>>145754950>>145754957Buehler feels like such a Jed signing, I would guess he'd be comfortable offering more than whatever the Dodgers will give him for the 1 year prove it deal, it'll just come down to weather or knot Buehler actually wants to leave the Dodgas which I doubt he does considering he literally just recorded the final out for them in the WSI bet they sign Alzolay to like a 2 year deal or something to let him recover from TJ.I also think one of Nico and Bellinger are gonna get traded
Cute latinx boys....

>>145748358Wow did not expect to see such an extremely based take on 4chan
>>145755025>i'd rather trade Belli but i guess both are expandable if you follow the prospect pipelineYeah, to be honest I'd be fine with keeping both of them but they literally have to trade someone, either a veteran or the prospects. There's multiple players being blocked. From what I've read it's more likely that the Cubs trade for an "elite" bat/arm than it is they sign one. I'm deluding myself into pic rel even tough I know it wont happen for a number of reasons

In the brothel district I visit there are a variety of uniforms and cosplay outfits you can the girls wearing as you walk through (e.g., schoolgirls, maids, nurses, yukatas), and some wear Hanshin Tigers and Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks jerseys. Makes sense in Osaka that some are wearing Tigers jerseys, but I wonder if opposing teams' female fans are a fetish too. Would you go for a girl wearing our team's jersey or an opponent's?
>>145754976He makes great plays and has great ability, but it also seems like he sometimes gets overly excited and makes things harder on himself than needed like the webm you posted. He had a great robbery in that same series aginst the Dodgers too and was all over the field making plays. His inside-the-park homerun was also great.
>>145756064Do they cosplay outside in those areas to solicit customers?Isn't that completely against the law in every area of Japan? lolI also enjoy picking out girls wearing opposing team jerseys (Cubs or Mets) and yelling abuse at them like "You're a terrible baseball player, can't you even bunt properly?"
>>145756152
>>145756163Sorry Mets fans lol
>>145756152I'm talking about Tobita Shinchi (and Matushima too but the girls there aren't as beautiful), which is different from every other place in Japan. Like most places in Japan they skirt around the rules regarding prostitution:https://youtu.be/z2Y7ZAXKFfU
>>145756152Can I get a combination cubs fan / maid to yell at then make tender passionate love to?
>>145756193I'd like to go to Tobita Shinchi at least once, but it's scary.
>>145756255It's really not, and the atmosphere is great, especially at night. I go there so often that even girls and the shops I've never picked have gotten friendly with me and chat it up once in a while. Of course there are some who are annoyed with me that now ignore me because I always pass them up; it's not my fault I find them less attractive.
>>145756229Of course that would be amazing and I would absolutely make passionate love to her. I swear to God.

So Hoyer is going to gamble to keep Aliendo for 2 years in a row while they keep Mastrobuoni, Wisdom and Madrigal again and again and again. Those 3 guys are like Herpes. You keep them forever if you’re Hoyer. At least Davis is finally gone. That’s something at least. Probably shouldn’t talk he’ll probably be back on a Minor League deal tomorrow

>Siri for OrzeYou know what, good. I think he's better than Bader defensively, but i'll miss seeing Harrison play in CF late in games. good value deal if his bat is even average
>Swings and missed on a curveball
>>145754596The year's WS barely did better than last year's. Meanwhile there hasn't been even a moderately entertaining NBA Finals since 2016. The current game is plain unwatchable since playing any kind of defense is illegal, league clearly has a bias for their biggest markets and will pass that agenda down to their refs, and the new age stars are all unlikable. The league has been actively pushing fans away for years now I won't be surprised if attendance and viewership hits record lows once LeMickey and Steph Curry retire.
>>145754990Arozarena and Garcia both suck now tbf
>>145757364>good value deal if his bat is even averageDoes he know?
>Mfw an American batsman can not hit a long ball off a curve ball
>>145757699they had down years, but look like pretty good bounceback candidates. arozarena was still an above average hitter.
>>145756583ah my bad I thought they were. Unrelated but where would Kevin Alcantara Owen Caissie Matt Shaw and James Triantos play when they’re ready to get called up?
>>145756657>>145756583Mastrobouni and Madrigal were hardly with the big league club last year. Just stop talking you massive casual, back to back posts that were completely wrong. Just shut up, don’t post.
>>145757755i'm fine with this, bader's bat isn't 8 million dollars betterjust need to unlock his potential
>>145758019they have to be called up first. and they all actually have to be good to stay in the lineup. do you think they are going 4-4 on those prospects? and why assume someone will get traded to make room for the prospect instead of the prospect being traded to help the major league club?
>>145758034these things always work themselves out. someone doesn't hit, someone gets hurt, someone goes back to the minors, etc. bellinger and happ's contracts are up in 2 years, with bellinger having another opt-out before that. wisdom's salary might end up higher than they like, etc. this is just about the 40-man in advance of the rule 5. there is still plenty of time for other things to happen.
>>145758043>they have to be called up firstno shit>and they all actually have to be good to stay in the lineup.no shit>do you think they are going 4-4 on those prospects? no>and why assume someone will get traded to make room for the prospect instead of the prospect being traded to help the major league club?I literally never said that. I said>Yeah, to be honest I'd be fine with keeping both of them but they literally have to trade someone, either a veteran or the prospects.Owen Caissie Kevin Alcantara (already called up) Matt Shaw and James Triantos are all in AAA, along with Cade Horton and Moises Ballesteros.Owen Caissie Kevin Alcantara Matt Shaw and James Triantos are literally blocked at the major league level. I'll say it again, the Cubs have to trade someone, either veterans or prospects
https://x.com/JeffPassan/status/1859298426296680710JED’S LEAGUE
>>145758083they have reached AAA, but none of them have a whole lot of at-bats at that level. maybe they don't need it. maybe they could hang around another year. triantos doesn't need to be added to the 40-man this year, so i doubt they feel pressured to do anything with him.

>>145760699Honestly good for him, Shota's pretty based. Knew he wanted to be Cusb so went there and did great. He more or less equalled his 2023 NPB numbers too, which is impressive in of itself but the MLB ball is way more lively and he's a flyball pitcher in a league with a homerun or nothing mentality, so in that regard I think he's actually done better in America. Plus he stayed healthy and in doing so shat on Yamahomo and his 30 mil for 90 innings.
>>145761279What’s his slider cutter combo status?
For me, it’s fastball, curveball, screwball, forkball, and spoonball.
that funky muncy
>>145761279yeah he's based. I was able to see him pitch in person once this year and he's even better in person. He's a complete showman, walking around the mount the entire game. I also love that he wanted to be a Cub so bad and has embraced the city. I don't know where the hell that came from.
