Arrieta and the Cubs avoid arbitration, settle on 1yr/10.7m. No word on incentives or anything but it is the highest 1 year deal for a pitcher with his level of service time. Jake can go back to arb after this season and is a FA after 2017.

This is cool and good, and I'm looking forward to all the cries and lamentation from the Fans Since '15 when he walks in 2 years for 200+ million.*

no, he's going to sign for 2/200+ with the Cubs and blow his UCL crossing the T in Arrieta, looks like you don't understand how Cubs work.

There's good evidence he might benefit from that. I am rooting for Jean, also because holy poo poo that trade is bad if he puts up ~.600 OPS :(

Given that NHL.tv is so closely aligned with MLB.tv nowadays, a new provision was just added to their streaming TOS.

quote:

IF YOU CIRCUMVENT OR ATTEMPT TO CIRCUMVENT ANY BLACKOUT RESTRICTION OR OTHER USE RESTRICTION: YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL BE SUBJECT TO IMMEDIATE TERMINATION AND A CHARGE OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00) FOR EARLY TERMINATION WILL BE APPLIED TO YOUR CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD; YOU MAY BE SUBJECT TO LEGAL ACTION; AND THE NHL RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REPORT SUCH MISCONDUCT TO APPROPRIATE LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES.

If this sort of stuff scares you, I'd just check your newest MLB.tv terms of service to see if its included. I haven't heard anything yet, but the NHL just made this change a couple of days ago.

edit: this is in the MLB.tv TOS. I'm not sure if it was there in year's past.

If they actually enforce it they are gonna lose boat loads of customers, I'm sure it's just something their lawyers said to toss in there. It seems like most people are using a DNS service to get around blackouts and I'm sure MLB.tv and NHL.tv know this.

"Hello Officer, this is....umm, Sud Belig and I'd like to report a robbery in progress. There's a guy in Fresno using a VPN as we speak and I'd like you to shoot him please."

I saw a couple articles on this last night, apparently the change came with a complete technical breakdown of NHL.TV as well which any MLB subscriber can tell you happens for more or less the first week of the season and every 4-6 weeks after.

Gotta update your bad contract terms... he's actually going to sign for 8/240 with an optout every two years, immediately blow his arm out, recover and return to form in August of his fourth year, opt-out and sign with the Cardinals.

Ah, yes, the Cardinals: that team that signs free agent star pitchers rather than magically creating them in a lab.

Yes it's true; I'm in Toronto and I watch all the Jays games on PC, Xbone or Android with no issues.

The first year I subscribed I read the FAQs first and was expecting to be blacked out and use a VPN, but much to my delight it has worked flawlessly the past two seasons.

Fingers crossed it stays this way.
