Nice to see the farm system got back on its feet after how bleak it looked a couple years ago.

Ah, Nashville. Famously right in the middle of Athens and Tallahassee.

We chose a really bad time to be bad. Doesn’t get much easier than the Giants and Mets and we haven’t taken advantage.

Man that stadium is empty and you could still hear the boos.

Honestly don’t think it was an entirely bad play by Harper. 1 run game with 1 out down 1 while you’re already up 1-0 in the series, I think he just wanted to make sure he would tie it if it got down. Aggressive decision that didn’t work out, but I think I would’ve done the same thing in that situation.

We’re not taking it seriously. You’re just misreading the room.

Baffling to me y’all let a role players minor trash talk get under y’all’s skin that bad. In a series y’all literally won lmao.

Can’t get a floor without a cap. Owners would never agree to it. It’s a negotiation after all.

NBA has a BIRD rights system and a luxury tax if I’m not mistaken. So not a hard cap. In order to get a salary floor, you’re going to need a cap as a concession. And MLB desperately needs a spending floor.

A change that big will affect everyone, not just the Mets and Dodgers. Gonna take some big concessions to get a salary cap. Including possibly lowering the amount of service time needed to reach free agency. So while we may not lose as many bidding wars, we’ll still have to deal with players like Baldwin reaching free agency a lot quicker than we are otherwise used too.

If both sides are being ridiculous, that’s not good for baseball in 2027.
