That instinct has been proven wrong with TB and Miami attendance issues. Domed stadiums are challenging. Perhaps Orlando and Vegas can work eventually.

It's the idea they could be the Mets or Angels...the second team in a large market. And with a new downtown stadium and continued non-competitiveness from the Cubs in terms of long term spending...at least get back to 2005-2008 if not the early 90s feeling.

Just want to watch entertaining/interesting baseball wherever it's to be found. They're hardly beating down the gates waiting to get into non Dodgers games in Glendale. For example, LA vs. Angels tonight...

With all the veteran scouts that have been cut or retired...might be 10-15% overall growth on the development/analytics side, but you're probably talking $7.5-10 million reallocated overall...at most. Including new equipment/tech.

But not exactly exciting either. Leasure the best stuff of that group. Cubs, for example, have scored six runs in the last two innings...tied 8-8 with Texas. That's our entire spring offense.

Sort of...but nobody had a hit other than Quero though. Sac fly walk wp offense doesn't exactly excite.

Routine fly ball 1-6 LA Dodgers -17 White Sox -25 Everyone else that's not good so far in spring -10 -11 -12

Tatis' cousin, so jinxed lol... Chance to win now ...another wp.

Veras with the game on the line. Lipcius walked.

Sac fly by Mitchell but two outs now. Runner to second on wp.

Error on a Meidroth ball gives them a chance...runners on the corners with one out.

Not sure how many of these guys were penciled into the pen? Ellard and Shuster I guess...maybe Murfee?

This is exactly like 2017-2018...all that available playing time produced not so much as an Alejandro de Aza on the position player side. Then shockingly there was just no quality depth when anyone went down from 2019-2021. Who was in charge of development then? Oh..

Trace Thompson and Zavala playing for Red Sox... Crochet 97-99 but wild...pulled after 41 pitches, victim of abs challenge when he appeared to be out of the inning. Dominant in first, three walks in second. Anthony Campbell Mayer hitting 1-2-3. Campbell still hitless. All these guys with good obp skills/eyes/strike zone judgement. Mayer really has a great eye up there.

Thomas was 7th. Anderson Burger in that 10-20 range. Collins too. Rodon Vaughn Madrigal 3-4. 5-9 picks have always been unusual. for Sox. Fulmer too?

Grady related to Colt Emerson?

A Cook County judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a Winnetka resident alleging that a proposed land swap between the Winnetka Park District and billionaire Justin Ishbia violates the state's park district code and its public trust doctrine. https://www.chicagotribune.com/2023/10/09/judge-dismisses-lawsuit-filed-by-winnetka-resident-over-proposed-land-swap-between-park-district-and-billionaire/ https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins-podcasts/gleeman-the-geek-ishbia-st-peter-and-abs-r17850/ Somewhere between 25 mins and 40…apparently there’s a 90 min Dan Hayes Patreon on the Ishbia withdrawal and why he picked the Sox. 1) distressed asset, more future value Sox a sleeping giant, media market/city size 2) home and business already located here, opportunity to be the big hero and build a new stadium, whereas Minnesota won’t do anything in that area for 10-15 more if not 20 years

Stocky? Kind of like a fireplug...

MLB has held early discussions with Netflix, Amazon and Comcast about its media rights, John Ourand of Puck reported Thursday, but those talks have not focused specifically on the ESPN package that expires after this season. Instead, discussions are said to have focused just as much on 2028, when all of the MLB media rights will be available. Amazon’s Prime Video service currently offers locally-produced MLB games by way of partnerships with Main Street Sports Group (formerly Diamond Sports) — operator of the FanDuel Sports Network RSNs — and a separate agreement with YES Network. Comcast owns a handful of RSNs that carry MLB games and previously owned a $30 million/year Sunday morning package of MLB games from 2022-23 that it elected not to renew. Netflix, which is growing a burgeoning sports operation, has never carried MLB. https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/2025/02/mlb-media-rights-talks-amazon-nbc-netflix-espn-2028/ Per Ourand, Fox Sports has expressed interest in one piece of the ESPN package, the annual Home Run Derby. ESPN is also said to “expect to reengage” with MLB, as the company’s decision to opt-out of its contract was always believed to be a step toward a renegotiation, rather than a full split.

https://www.mlb.com/news/jake-burger-hits-home-run-after-daughter-s-surgery A slimmed-down Dominic Fletcher has been impressive early on in camp and is already on the 40-man roster. Among the many veteran non-roster invites, Brandon Drury has corner outfield experience and most recently put forth a successful season at the plate. But as a left-handed power threat who wouldn’t need to make a full-time return to the outfield to serve as a Benintendi replacement, Joey Gallo’s presence in camp only takes on greater prominence. Bobby Dalbec is athletic enough to play the outfield and willing to boot, as is Brooks Baldwin. Oscar Colás is definitively still here. Wilfred Veras Island is always open to new residents. https://soxmachine.com/2025/02/andrew-benintendi-to-miss-4-6-weeks-with-broken-right-hand/ No mention of Zach DeLoach, Cal Mitchell, lol...

https://www.fangraphs.com/players/calvin-mitchell/22169/stats?position=OF You're forgetting once upon a time 2nd round draft pick Cal Mitchell. Yet another negative career fWAR guy for the Sox to tout. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/canaan-smith-njigba/23264/stats?position=OF Still listed as a FA.

Peaked at 4.4 fWAR in 2018...2.1 in 2022, before we gave him the big contract.

This is what you get when you rely upon an AI aggregated search, lol...
