So, what are we going to talk about now?

So...can anything at all happen now? Any transactions, waivers, trades, signings, etc...?

I would think that it only applies to members of the Union. 

I guess that means Seiya Suzuki won't be able to sign a major league deal.

Sorry, color me confused. Aren't they all in the union?

You have to be on a 40 man roster to join the Union.  I'm not sure if you stay in the Union if you get removed from the 40 man roster.

No way the MLBPA is going to put all the minor leaguers in their Union.

How about the pettiness of MLB to take away the headshots on the teams MLB.com pages.  What a bunch of douches.

I'll repeat myself.

It's not pettiness.

They don't want to be seen as potentially profiting off the player's image.  It's smart.

Where’s the “cricket chirping” meme when you need it?

There is always Fantasy sports. Everyone would love to hear your MLB Keeper leagues. How's your FF team doing?

I vote for the 31-100 list. Great idea. Hope Tony is up for the challenge.

Oh, I thought they were just emphasizing that everyone roots for laundry.  The players are all fungible.  When they use replacement players they'll just plug in new faces and push on like nothing happened.  The 2022 season will feature Keanu Reeves and that hot cheerleader.

If they replaced all the Orioles' headshots with the random faces from The Onion's American Voices feature how long would it take the average fan to noice?  Six weeks?  Six months?

Your average fan won't ever visit the website.

Exactly.  If you asked random people at Camden Yards who played the most games at SS for the Orioles last year the rate of correct answers would be 15%.  You might get more JJ Hardy than Freddy Galvis.

He wouldn't think twice about starting up again. Just another pill or needle in his body.
