I think once the TB and Oakland situations clear up, they’ll have a better idea of where they want to place teams. My prediction is Las Vegas and Montréal will have teams by the end of the 20s. If not relocation, expansion.

Exactly. If 32 teams is inevitable, then it should be 16 teams in each league, top 6 make the postseason. 1 and 2 get a bye, 3 hosts 6 , 4 hosts 5 in a best-of-3. Worst seed remaining plays the 1 seed.

No

We’re headed to 32 teams, 2 East Divisions of 8, 1 Central Division of 8, and 1 West Division of 8. The Sox and Cubs will play at least 13 games every year, and baseball will become worse. I fucking hate Manfred.

CBS Sports White Sox roster page has the 40 man numbers updated. Zavala got 44, Cordero got 50. Maybe he can tattoo it on his exposed shoulder.

Gordy Bexx going to Padres camp in his age 33 season.

If it seems like it was Christmas not too long ago, that was 46 days ago. Opening Day is in 46 days! Bring on warmer weather.

Moncada, Bryant, and Devers didn’t make the Shredder Top 10. I think Yo is top 6-7 next year.

You never know. Pressure is on for the Red Sox and Dodgers.

Orson Bean, 91, hit by two cars

Hinch interview was pretty good. Too many things unanswered though. He took accountability for 2017, but I think Verducci could have pressed harder for details. Alex Cora’s name wasn’t mentioned once, which was probably by design. I think he’s really the biggest cheater in the whole thing.

Hey White Sox, After tacos, update your roster pages with spring training numbers. It’s about that time.

Hinch starts the apology tour tomorrow night on MLB Tonight.

That’s the way to look at it. Good chance our Sox will be over .500 this season, maybe contend for a division or WC, but the winning window is still 2021-2025.

This is all Peggy Kusinski’s fault

Yolmer will be competing with Wilmer Flores.

I hope the next CBA has some new rules when it comes to the draft- being able to trade them pre-draft, not being able to have 1-1 more than once a decade, and not being able to have a top 3 back-to-back years among them. In other words, do a draft lottery with these rules in place.

I’m just looking at the season as a 3-team race...Twins, Indians, and Sox. All three could be in the high 80s wins.

It’s funny how people suddenly care about batting average and RBIs.

Spring training games in 22 days Sox have a home game in 55 days. Tomorrow you’ll be able to say baseball season starts next month.

I think Madrigal will clearly be ready on opening day, but they’ll send him down because they won’t Vaughn’s agent playing that card next year- “why him, but not my guy?” At least I think that’s part of the equation.

We’re on the way to radical realignment and the Sox and Cubs playing 12 or more games against each other every year. It’s going to make baseball worse, but what else is new...

I don’t think John Altobelli is related to Joe. Seeing online John had a son JJ play for the Oregon Ducks years ago and his player profile didn’t mention Joe...which it probably would have if they were related. Hope JJ can take care of his surviving step sister. Such a tragedy.

Press conference saying nine total. Banner day in journalism.

Sounds like Kobe and his daughter, her teammate and parent, plus the pilot. So sad.
