Of course with Nashville being considered for an expansion team Jerry could be acting on behalf of MLB.

I do. If they tell him no, then they limit themselves if they ever want to move. Why would owners stop each other? They may charge him a few million and line their pockets a little more.

I'd like to see baseball expand with two more teams. Nashville would be a good location.

I was told that no Sox fan would want the team to move.

I'd rather have a didn't miss than a bust at any spot in the draft. I'm thinking an improvement to the draft that would still discourage multi year tanking is your draft positions year to year can't be lower than a total of 10. So a 1 and 9 works or a 5 and 5. Maybe even pick a higher number like 12. No lottery, just drop the #1 down until they hit the total. I'm certain there are some flaws. I haven't really thought it through.

The bust rate with the baseball draft makes me not really care.

And that's part of the challenge. The folks making the money aren't the ones paying the players and have different reasons for writing the checks.

They took the money I think the folks paying those NIL deals deserve a say in the matter. You pay big bucks and the guy sits out a bowl game? I wonder how many will write that into the contract if kids are skipping out and not playing.

Nice recovery.

I wish that was the way voters would go. That would spread out the better teams across more conferences. Now they cluster into fewer conferences knowing they can lose a game and still have a chance at a national title. Actually I'd love a Thanksgiving to New Year's December Madness. A 32 team tournament.

The universities who are reaping the rewards should be paying. But you probably didn't think of that in your rush to reply. Still is it like other pro sports where you can buy a championship?

I would love to know the NIL "payrolls" for the top teams.

It seems that most announcers stay too long. One good thing is he's leaving before most people wanted him to.

Steve Dahl available?

LaRussa part 2. I liked part 1. Like most movies, the sequel sucked. One thing I really respect about Bevington is his love for the game. He was managing in an independent league when I met him. He really looked like he gave a damn on a 103° night in front of hundreds of opposing fans.

They would have a playoff game or two to offset it.

Cut two games off the regular season and make it a 8 game playoff. Personally I'd love December Madness with a 32 team playoff. Couple you image the betting possibilities?

I agree. I'd love to see college football have a 32 team playoff, almost like basketball. Cut the regular season short. But I also want to see baseball cut back to a 150ish game season and add two rounds of playoffs. But there are traditionalists who want the regular season to "mean something".

They need to go back to traditional bowl alignments and quit these playoffs. It's ruined the game. Just vote for a national champion.

He's definitely a guy that was only going to go to a team really serious about winning a World Series. Big move by the Tigers. I'm certain they are cheering this signing all over Michigan.

And left for better deals.

I can't wait until they eliminate the draft and just make every player a free agent. Until then, a bird in the hand. I'm hoping for the highest pick this year. Live for today and don't worry about tomorrow.
