Players should be paid for actual performance. Do it like scoring in fantasy baseball. Get a hit? $10k. Hit a homerun? $50k. Pitcher gets a strikeout? $25k. There, now players are getting paid for their performance and teams can base their budgets around how they expect the player will perform.

I'm also in favor of removing batting orders entirely and replacing them with a Plinko board to decide who gets to hit.

On one hand gently caress the owners, but I also don't get the treatment that MLB players are just another Average Joe barely making ends meat (for minor leagues players, I have no doubt the typical salary is poo poo and it's a rough life). I work with a lot of contractor craft staff, and while they're angry, racist Trump-loving assholes typically, they're average salary is probably a little more than 1/10th of your average MLB veteran's minimum salary, and the chance of injury/death is higher on a construction site than an MLB player. So MLB players are hardly downtrodden individuals whose lives could come crashing down at any moment...

No-one goes to see a baseball game because of ownership. The talent should be paid an appropriate portion of the total take.

All sports teams should be owned by their cities and the profits should go to the city budget. All players should make like 90 grand a year with benefits. More if it's an expensive city.

All the players should get extremely basic room and board in exchange for the privilege of playing sports and the thrill of seeing their names and likenesses being used by doughy morons nationwide. Also if they get hurt they can gently caress off forever. (/Mark Emmert)

Inspector_666 posted:The only reason the atrocious deals really matter is the luxury tax, though. It’s more like the luxury tax is why some of the deals are so atrocious. Back-ended, spread out over more years, etc. Put a limit on the number of years and not on money per year and watch the average pay go up. Not saying it has to be every year like the Finley proposal.

more Toms River references on national broadcasts https://twitter.com/MaxWildstein/status/942575755413938181 e; oh guess Wildstein got the scoop wrong; Frazier is about to sign with somebody for one year and with an option for 2019. Yankees are in the picture, hope they bring him on

Taking money out of the players pockets doesn't increase the money in Joe Blow's, it makes men who are already billionaires even richer by virtue of simply owning the team while costing the men who are the actual product, who are uniquely talented and work their asses off for years and years. Who cares what someone in another industry makes? It's about how much money the job generates that should dictate the salary I sure love how the easiest way to make money is to have money already

Hotdog In A Hallway posted:It also opens up a spot for Acuna. And a chance to get some cheap innings from some pitchers who used to be good. I can see why everybody hates the Braves right now but I think this deal was reasonably good for them. It's not going to get them to the playoffs but they get a few things of need for next season without adding payroll.

Indians should place a call, our catchers are kinda awful. Although Meija is probably gonna be a main roster guy next year, but we could move him to 1B. Speaking of the Tribe, we signed Mel Upton Jr. to MLC, not a bad move at all.

Sometimes I wonder if we watch the same team. Gomes and Perez are below average bats right now, sure. (OPS+ of 83 and 72 in 2017, respectively). However, they also threw out 42% and 43% of attempted steals, when the average is about 27%. They're both regarded as decent defensive catchers, and they have a good rapport with the rotation. That kind of value is difficult to quantify, but without them I don't think the Indians have one of the best rotations in baseball.

Out of habit I was looking up what games are in New York this summer and then I realized that I have tickets to 81 games in Chicago already. Maybe I don’t need to see Mets/Yankees at Citi Field. Unless cross-town games are funny at the Mets’ stadium. Any thoughts?

Crosstown games (and any rivalry that travels well) are always a ton of fun as long as you're willing to really dive into the city and fanbase with public transportation, local bars, hanging out before and after, and talking to strangers. And as long as you know how to spot a fight before it breaks out and get your distance.
