I'm very tempted to leave early. This team is awful to watch in person.

The REAL question is....why would you pay to go watch the current product, in the first place?

He hangs so many pitches 

At least he didn't make 3 errors in an inning like his brother.

Nice to have a young All-Star catcher...who can actually hit and defend. 

Have a game Andrew

This team is totally unwatchable!

Just what the Sox need.  Another pitcher with no control!

Wouldn't be shocked to see Tigers Pirates Rays all end up with better numbers by the end of the season. 

Especially if the White Flag is officially waved. 

Touki with a quick inning

3 at em balls. Good work, Touk!

OK. Makes sense then.

Guardians are unbelievable at home. 

They're closer and closer to 2022 form.

Shocked it is at 19k TBH. And poor Miami, that organization puts out so much talent, and the support just sucks. Not saying the org doesn't have its own slew of problems, but there is talent there.

As in Flukey,

 

 

Andrew making haters pay.

Since the players overwhelmingly voted for Nashville...one would assume that one of those franchises,  most likely TB, would be a strong candudate to move. 

Also not sure how many years of rebuilding the Royals can put their fans through... it was basically 30 years last time. 

Vaughn stays healthy he will hit 20+ home runs

A smart org would have respected his comeback from injury in 2021 and started stretching him out in the minor leagues, with the intent of working him back in as a successful starter.

Probably, either way he's brutal the 3rd time through the order

M&M guy hasn't left yet and Boston just tied Minnesota. Stay around and bring us some magic

25/39 at 1B. 

Maybe at least MLB average would work.

The Tampa metro area is 66% larger than the Nashville metro area. It’s hard to see that ownership defaulting to leaving without a sweetheart stadium deal. Central Florida should have a baseball team, I think everyone just hates their ballpark.

That will certainly work for a 4th or 5th place team in the AL or NL Central. 

The problem is they will lose him after six years just as he's starting to figure things out because of all the missed development time and two seasons in the outfield.

He's 25 and will keep improving. Development squashed between the Owners Aborted 2020 season and the La Russa debacle of playing him regularly in Right Field and Left Field.

Yeah...Charlotte and Nashville might both be a tad small. 

Orlando has been floated numerous times and sustaining an MLB franchide with 81 home games in LV or Orlando just doesn't seem like a sure fire strategy either. 

Football works with such a limited schedule of home games to sell.
