Why are the team threads closed? Do mods not realize that people like to talk about their teams during the offseason/playoffs as well?

a buddy asked me this and I didn't know the answer

Let's say there is a Star Player on Team X who gets paid a lot. Team X wants to cut payroll. Can Team X trade Star Player to Team Y, along with prospects or other assets, and then immediately trade back for Star Player, with Team Y eating some of his salary?

I didn't know if 1) this was legal, or 2) if it had ever been done before.

Why not just trade the prospects for cash

Go the Rockies or Brewers I guess. Pretty poo poo selection of teams this year. Brewers/Indians World Series so Fox gets real mad about it.

The entire NL is worth rooting for in some capacity now that the Cubs are out, IMO. Though I would put the Brewers at the bottom of that list.

7-10 years seems optimistic.

If you start in 2019 how are you going to deal with free agency and stuff? Just do a full sim of 2018 and let it play out however?

I vote Be a Player, but with the dual caveats that a) the player has to be funny and/or interesting, and b) no Mike Trout supermen. If that's too time consuming to enforce, then go with Crowdmanage a contemporary MLB team.

this is dumb, the chance to become the next Cthulhu Dreams is one of the best parts about the whole thing

I've been legit assaulted by Benny the Bull on two separate occasions. I'll allow it though because Benny owns.

The Timberwolves mascot is pretty messed up though because he doesn't do funny antics and it's just a dude in a really bad fursuit who tries to hug you and gets all handsy.



He used to do funny poo poo but then he tore the ACL of KAT's dad sledding down the aisle so they stopped

They wanted a manager who could communicate better with the younger players!

What they got is a manager who can�t manage the best bullpen in the history of the game 🙃

My favorite part about ~27 Rings~ is how the first 20 of them happened before the league championship series was a thing. Back then, you won one lousy playoff series and they crowned your rear end. It's like the Yankees won the ALDS a bunch of times and got to call themselves world champs. The Yankees are frauds, is what I'm saying here.

My favorite part about 27 rings is that the Yankees have had 16 seasons with a below .500 record (21 if you count the highlanders)

The MVP that bugs me the most is Ichiro. He wasn't even the best player on his team that year, and the MVP should never go to a slap hitting chump that only hit 8 dingers.

Tampa's current projected payroll for 2019 is $8M? Seriously?

https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/payroll/2019/

No, not seriously. It's because the only player they have under a non-rookie/arb contract is Kiermaier, who makes $8m next year, so they don't have the actual numbers for the rest of the contracts yet.
