Should also be a thread discussing it here on the OH.

They sold a third to Disney for $1.1B.....and I think ESPN can buy another 1/3.

That's interesting, but what does MLBAM do for MLB?

Other than print money?

The initial seed money provided by teams was very low.

Hopefully the Orioles will engage in extension talks with his agent and get this done, because I agree, the closer it gets, the more of a distraction it becomes. I mean, who wants to go buy a #120 Machado jersey that might be worthless in two years?

Besides, if there is no movement and it's clear he's interested in the bottom dollar, then they know they may have to consider moving him at the trade deadline this year if they are out of contention.

This would be the only sensible way to handle things if Manny made it clear he was going to test free agency.  So yeah, they need to find out what his intentions are ASAP.  Given the way the Orioles have played this aspect of the business game since MacPhail's first offseason, I'm very, very worried that they will let this opportunity go to waste.

That's amazing. Is that 34 million per owner then? Or one year of Manny?

Loria is to cheap, and blew his money on Stanton. Pardon the pun, but they have bigger fish to fry in that organization. 

He'll just sign Manny to a 10/300 deal and trade him to the highest bidder 18 months later.

Let's also start talking about where Crush might land after the '22 season.

So essentially the Yankees?

Considering the Dodgers and Red Sox are both outspending the Yankees, it does not remain to be seen that he becomes a Yankee.

Sox are set with Pablo/Hanley at 3B. Dodgers have no need for him with Justin Turner returning.

Yea the same Yankees that currently do not have the highest total or 25 man payroll. 

Aren't you a little young to be suffering from a Yankee complex?

So he signs with the Marlins after the 2018 season and is traded 18 months later.

You think Pablo/Hanley and Turner are going to be deal breakers?
