GalacticAcid posted:https://twitter.com/adamdberry/status/1232748302170492928 Nick Burdi, while recovering from TJ, was selected in the Rule 5 draft after the 2017 season (and traded to the Pirates). The Pirates activated him from the 60-Day 9/1/18. He was then put back on the IL on 4/23/19, ending his season. Googling led me to the league's FAQ quote:A Rule 5 Draft pick can be placed on the Major League injured list, but he must be active for a minimum of 90 days to avoid being subject to the aforementioned roster restrictions in the next campaign. He's failed(separately and cumulatively) to reach that 90 day threshold for the 18 and 19 seasons. So is he still subject to those roster restrictions?

alpha_destroy posted:Two weeks sounds like wishful thinking, no? I imagine things won't be better by then. I imagine it will give them time to figure out the plausibility of empty stadium games while also giving time for things to get enough worse that cancelling a larger swath won't seem like overreacting.

Slimy Hog posted:I have a ticket for a game that was scheduled for late next month, the ballparks website says "wait" and ticketmaster says they won't refund mlb tickets. Assuming you bought it directly from the team (and not via Ticketmaster's Ticket Exchange, stubhub, vivid, etc), I'd suggest actually calling in tomorrow. What I've heard for the most part is that teams aren't advertising refunds but also want to avoid news stories about refusing to refund tickets.

https://twitter.com/EvanDrellich/status/1267278824410173443 At first blush, this is actually pretty sensible/reasonable (a welcome change from MLB proposals). A little surprised the players are willing to cut into the offseason, that's a concession from early conversations.

Word has been that the MLB believes the March agreement allows them to unilaterally begin the season at the prorated salaries. If I was reading correctly, those making at/near the minimum will end up making very little(by pro athlete standards) under a drastically shortened season because of the advance from that deal. It's tough to see how MLB putting that trigger wouldn't lead to a strike when the CBA expires. Longer this drags on, more that I want to see them scrap the season and go for a 45ish day tournament setup... provided things are way safer than they are now.

Squall posted:That's good to know, I think I forgot about that part. It's part of the current holdup as well because it was structured as an advance. So a 50 game schedule, even at the full prorated rate, means far less than 1/3 of the player's salary. As noted, though, they don't have to pay back the advance if there are no games.

ketchup vs catsup posted:Do we know what percent of league revenue is in stadium (tickets, concessions, gear, etc) vs out? No, teams don't release their finances and the Forbes reports are educated guesses. What we do know is that the league has been picking and choosing what documentation to provide the union to support their claims of losses playing without fans. Darude - Adam Sandstorm posted:The MLBPA has been so poorly run for so long and caved on so much its really not surprising that the owners are trying to push them around again. Yeah, they completely punted economic issues last negotiation for small quality of life benefits in the last CBA. Agreeing to this poo poo in exchange for changes to FA comp is actually pretty on brand for the union under Clark. Glad to see they're standing firm. eta: https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/1270062679017865218

TINSTAAPP indeed. I've long thought hockey provides the model here, which is one of those sentences sports fans never say. Tl;dr: The blend of Juniors, College, and the AHL/ECHL when mixed with Draft and Follow would work well for baseball, I think. In their teens (graduating high school or before!), kids have the opportunity to sign for an independent league(one with a wider age range than juniors, given the lack of direct physicality--pitching to/hitting off a 28 yearold is a touch different as a teen than meeting one along the boards), go to JuCo or college, or (if drafted) go directly to a minor league team as they do now. If the NCAA would go for it(lolno) they could even get paid for a few years of indyball before hitting college. Draft proceeds as usual for 18+, but you retain the player's rights through the first 4 years after their class graduates high school (draft and follow). The quirk I'd add, for player benefit, is that players can choose whether/when to enter the draft for the first time. Feel like you're a 15th round pick coming out of high school but will do better after a couple years of college? You can wait to declare. Slotting remains the same. Once players' classes are 4 years removed from high school, they can be signed as undrafted free agents with essentially zero slot or bonus limits (previously drafted players who do not sign with their drafting teams can only sign for up to the major league minimum). Rule V and minor league FA control clock is modified a bit but starts at the time of drafting. Every team has two minor league affiliates with 30 man rosters. AA ball's equivalent is generally the post-college entry and initial development while AAA remains a mix of advanced development and MLB shuttle squad. MLB takes part of its savings from MiLB restructuring (also lolno) and diverts it to subsidize a salary floor in some of the Indyball leagues and to expand baseball scholarships to cover at least 50% of total attendance cost for NCAA rosters, broken up as fulls and partials as schools see fit(I believe this is much lower at most schools, but haven't checked in a while). In theory the hope would be that it reduces collegiate pitcher abuse(by giving players the leverage of leaving for the minors and/or indyball), provides players more opportunity to select a development path that best suits their needs, increases minor leaguer leverage/choice, creates a better local product in most minor markets than the current affiliate system, and saves clubs money and organizational effort.... which I give zero fucks about but it's not as if the MLB would change out of the goodness of its heart.

Look for this to be a common refrain from the MLBPA in the coming years: Via Stark in The Athletic quote:But meanwhile, on the other side, many agents and most players are shedding no tears – because they’re not buying what these teams are selling.

Sydin posted:Yes, every extra inning will start with walking the first batter and then, if the runner on second gets to third but doesn't score, loading the bases for the force unless there are already two outs. I'm not a big fan of starting someone on second but I don't think it's as bad as all that.
