I mean, we’re probably headed to radical realignment by the end of this decade anyway. Just end it and go full DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article from Nightengale below paints a bleak picture on the universal DH situation. Officials think it will not be resolved until Spring. That’s a whole winter without any resolution and you now have 235 free agents on the market. It’s got to get resolved as soon as possible.

It’s by design, owners want a flooded free agent market and an excuse to not sign anyone. DH could be in place this second, but it’s not because owners want to screw over players, and they want another pathetic 16 team playoff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you give examples of two ways that might work and what would happen if the owner overruled them to hire his drinking buddy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourWhatHurts Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I wonder what Realmuto will do if McCann signs with the Mets. I bet Cohen doesn't like bidding against himself. It seems like everything is Mets this, Mets that, but they are only going to sign so many players for so many positions. Oh what will become of he who does not sign with the Mets?

I don’t think the Rangers believe they can compete. The Astros need a catcher but they don’t have money for a multi year upgrade. Phillies sure! But they haven’t gotten it done yet, they’re an ideal place for a 1 year $20 million deal. Jays maybe, but they’re in on everything right?

GermanSoxFan Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 The Angels are an obvious fit, they will never admit that they need a rebuild and will always try to put bandaids on their roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally makes sense to me and I can't argue against that one. Depends on the pandemic budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
