Munemania: AL Rookie of the Month of May
Keep in mind that knockoffs or fake products proliferate in China. Whereas Japan is incredibly strict and proactive about IP and product quality. It's a lot about perception. What it feels like to customers.

During Joel Reuter's first power rankings of the season, the White Sox sat in dead last. However, he has a bit more faith in the organization after watching them over the weekend, bumping them up a few places to 21 (mlb.com still has them at #29 despite weekend sweep). "Rebuilding is all about incremental progress. It took until July 20 for the White Sox to complete their first three-game sweep of the 2025 season, and they didn't pick up their fourth win until their 14th game of the year, so Sunday marked two positive steps in the right direction." Even with an abysmal start to the season, the White Sox are already miles ahead of where the team sat last season, thanks in large part to what Murakami is doing at the plate. yahoo.com/sports

https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1118094146996724&id=100063884472928 I honestly think they believe Japanese will buy anything they put out that's MLB related. China currently has a massive number of MLB and New Era cap shops despite the sport itself only existing in Taiwan.

Dumbasses. As someone who has lived in China now for 15 years and also spent a lot of time in Okinawa Tokyo Kyoto and Osaka...this is the equivalent of GM naming a car with a Spanish translation that meant "no go/doesn't go." https://www.thoughtco.com/chevy-nova-that-wouldnt-go-3078090&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwiXmsCjidqTAxVCb_UHHRsoOwMQFnoECAcQAg&usg=AOvVaw0VA2ZQo_L_MznBdEZI3-QX Not only don't they have sponsors from Japan...they're somehow managing to actively alienate them. https://www.zhihu.com/en/answer/3431677268

2026 MLB Forbes teams values, Sox lose money for 6th straight year
“San Diego, in a lot of respects, is emblematic of what people around the world see as the California lifestyle,” says Martin. “San Diego is seen as a major market, a major brand with, if we're being honest, some of the biggest stars in the entire sport.” We’re looking at you, Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado! The fact that the new owners are also purchasing 30% of Petco Park and a chunk of its revenue generating power also bumps the value up. However, the biggest factor in why the Padres are almost inevitably going to set a new baseball team sales record is really based in Economics 101. “There's a very finite resource and the reality is that, even as expensive as they are, there are more people with the multiple billions of dollars required to buy these sports franchises than there are sports franchises available to be purchased,” says Martin. “It's purely supply and demand. The demand way outstrips the supply.” It is worth noting that, if the Dodgers or Yankees went up for sale tomorrow, they would undoubtedly set yet another sales record. But, for now, San Diego is going to be the most valuable MLB team in history. https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/are-the-san-diego-padres-really-worth-more-than-the-new-york-mets-or-los-angeles-dodgers/4005233/ www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DfBSiuBhMPAA&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwj0z_3z9tmTAxUODEQIHTA9EU4QFnoECAgQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1PkcCJV2va4lDZoEcxhkWN

White Sox Winner 6-3
"An elbow injury in Year 1 or 2 of his MLB development could be catastrophic to Taylor's career. We've already seen how arm injuries reshaped Michael Kopech's arc. And for what it's worth, Taylor has already had one Tommy John surgery. They know the injury risk." Shohei and Ragans have already had two surgeries, but it used to be the "average career span" at that point for starting pitchers was just 50-100 more innings across a huge sample of former pitchers.
