He can build that trade value.

Speaking of trades I wonder how trades will be handled?

Hmmm so a question about contracts. Davis is contracted for years/seasons. So would a measly 60 games count as a whole season, or has that little detail been worked out yet?

Yes.

And he's under contract for period of years, not seasons.

Plan? Plan?

 

They have a plan???

[Can_of_corn]

If they have a 60 game season 40 are going to be against the AL East? 

I don't think I'm looking forward to that.

To be honest, I would prefer the following line of thought:

This is a wasted season. Let the marginal guys with no future play some. Give them a taste of the Bigs. We’re going to be bad, the season stats will always be ignored, the Series will have an asterisk, if it even happens at all, and there’s no reason to start the service clock on the real guys, even though we don’t really have anyone whom that would really affect.

A lot of these guys are going to be released soon anyway because of minor league contraction and the influx of new guys. Let them have a brief moment to shine.

David Washington got 6 at bats in 2017 and struck out in five of them, but he will never forget them, and giving them to him had no effect on the Oriole season, which was... not successful.

So, them’s my two cents.

Doesn’t this depend on what the guys who aren’t on the major league roster are doing?

Are guys like Zimmerman and Kremer developing at all if they aren’t getting real innings?

AL East, or 10-team MLB East?  If the latter I'd be up for that as the new normal.

One of the biggest problems with the usual division-heavy unbalanced schedule is there's only four other teams in your division.  After you've been beaten down by a $200M team for the 15th time you're pretty well done with the idea.  I'd love a schedule where 80% of your games are in your time zone, spread between nine other teams.
