This team may be exciting next year. Bryant has played really well and Brown and Robinson are getting great experience. They also will likely get a lottery pick.
They’ll have Wall, Beal, Brown, Hachimura, and Bryant with Robinson and Bonga off the bench. They could be competitive in the East.
Not sure what their cap/FA situation is.

Is this the year to trade prospects to chase a World Series that may or may not be played?

He'd not even thrown a single inning since 2018. Maddon thought he was well rested.
He’ll probably get some more rest now.

Always is such a loaded term.
If you are an honest to goodness contender I can see holding onto someone like Britton since they can be such a weapon in the playoffs. If the timing is right you have to play for today and not three years down the line.
Case in point, last year’s WS champion. Most were saying they should have traded off Rendon, Scherzer, and others before the deadline. That team has let their soon to be FAs play to the end of their contracts (Rendon, Zimmermann, Desmond, Harper, etc) and have been very successful.

Lorenzo Cain is now out along with a MIami 2B who has not tested positive (didn’t catch his name).

Don’t think they could do it at the Arizona spring facilities? They’re all within a few miles of each other.
It’s not the same as the Orlando complex. Everyone in there is tested, they live there, eat there, etc.
Arizona’s complexes are in towns with other people. Some are an hour and 20 minutes apart. They wouldn’t be able to have the same controls in place as the NBA.

MLB has 3 stadiums located in one area?
Can’t compare the two. Plus many more players.
I agree with this. The NBA has done an excellent job, but the sport has a lot of built in advantages that baseball doesn’t have. Not only do the have three courts where they can get 6 games in a day, NBA teams don’t play everyday. So you can get by with six games a day as opposed to the 15 you need for MLB on a typical day.

They already expanded the playoffs to 8 teams, I will not be all that broken up if the 9th best team gets into the playoffs over the 8th best team.
As a player, I think it’d matter if you have a playoff share at stake.

People getting all worried about this but who cares? So, some team(s) end up playing 45ish games..so what?
What they need to do is go to a 50 or 60 man roster, instead of 40. Teams don’t want to cut a bunch of players just to field a team. So, allow them to bring up as many as needed. This isn’t really that difficult.
Last playoff spot comes down to two teams. One is 24-21, the other 31-29. Who goes?

Cardinals and Brewers postponed. Unknown amount of Cardinals have tested positive. No Marlins, Phillies, Nationals, Blue Jays, Brewers, or Cardinals playing today.

Gave up a 3 run homer in the first. Settled in and shut down the Mariners over the next 5. Eight strikeouts.

I think David Lynch is set to direct the 30 for 30 about this past week.

Cuts down on bullpen use since teams have a smaller potential pool of pitchers to pull from.
Aren’t teams carrying like 16 pitchers these days? They’re talking about leaving rosters at 30.

Don’t understand the rationale behind this. I mean, I know they’ll say less time at the ballpark. But if they have their testing tightened up, there wouldn’t be people in the park that have it.

No team placed a waiver claim on him.

The Blue Jays should probably just play the Nationals another three games this weekend since they both are off.
It’s tough because the Nationals are playing as if they have the weekend off. Scherzer went longer last night than he would have if he had to stay on five days rest. Their pitching Rainey again tonight. Probably wouldn’t if they had games this weekend. But competitive integrity has already been thrown out the window, so I guess it doesn’t matter.

Hard to get him in that lineup. Probably better off working out at the satellite site.
