@carci337 @thebenchesclear @Browns Attending a cold-weather football game where the team is awful is one of the worst things in the world though, whereas a bad baseball game on a nice spring or summer night is still a nice way to pass the time

Baseball’s popularity, ratings and revenue streams are thriving currently.
Literally CANNOT screw up all this positive momentum.
Must play baseball in 2027.

MLB and the MLB Players Association are currently holding the first official collective-bargaining talks before the expiration of the CBA on Dec. 1, sources tell ESPN. The opening presentations are basic overviews of each side's position and set up the long bargaining road ahead.

Another reason to be optimistic about the Bailey trade: The Giants GM, Buster Posey, is a moron and he’s made some terrible trades & signings
Just Baseball@JustBB_Media
Buster Posey grew frustrated with Patrick Bailey over time, per @Ken_Rosenthal. Posey valued running a pitching staff over some of Bailey’s best attributes, like throwing and pitch framing.

@ChrisRose @TalkinBaseball_ Perhaps CLE taps into his bat more. They rank 6th in launch angle, and Bailey is only 10 degrees. He also has decent exit velo (68th percentile), so if they can get him to lift the ball more, maybe that pays off. He also works well with pitchers, which could give CLE a boost.

Looking more and more at the Patrick Bailey trade I’m absolutely floored that the Giants sold low on him.
He has four years of team control and has put up 3 WAR in every season of his career. Their president of baseball ops is a catcher. What’s their angle?

@ryrebio @membersonlydave Hit in to inning ending double plays? I think he can do it
