All that BS about cancelling games only for them to still agree with full season. Then they still are spending time during the season to discuss the details of the new international draft. Rule changes don't go into effect until next year and even then those have to be discussed and agreed upon.
Other than the DH in the NL (which is a bummer) and the new playoff format, looks like everything is back to normal.
Saw the Giants' camp begins on the 18th and that Seiya Suzuki is already in the US. Hoping he ends up with SF. If not, I will accept Seattle.

From what ESPN is saying, by having a partial season, it could have opened up a pandora's box of issues, regarding service time, contracts and pay.
Personally, I don't care as long, I'm just happy I'll be watching them in another month (or so)
Joe Buck moving to ESPN.

Joe Buck following Troy Aikman to ESPN as new 'Monday Night Football' broadcast team
ESPN has its new "Monday Night Football" voice, while Fox needs a new World Series play-by-play man.
Easy solution: record the games. You can skip ahead when:
-ball goes out of bounds (resume Play when it's thrown back in)
-stoppage for a penalty
-goal scored (rare event)
-even when the ball is being played in the middle of the field (no one is taking a shot from 50 yards away)
So basically watch the highlights on SportsCenter.
Many local affiliates offer games in 2 hours, which cuts out some of the game slowing shenanigans. I've recorded football games and watched them instead of sitting there while they played live. I usually do this just to skip the commercials, not game play.
What about Ichiro? He was recent enough to be considered relevant, and he was a star player without hitting a lot of home runs.
I think it’s no coincidence that he was Japanese though, the impression I get is that the training in American baseball seems to focus on developing the ability to hit home runs.
Anyway great that an agreement has been reached, and so quickly.
Ichiro is a gifted once in a generation type of player. I mean, its not like you can say well Ichiro was able to spread the ball around, why can't [insert average platoon player]? Comparing his hall of fame talents against the majority of MLB players isn't really realistic.
I take the position that if players could have pulled/pushed the ball over these past few years with the shift in play, they would have.
No, it's really more than that. It cuts out the boring part. I only skip play in the middle of the field if I'm pressed for time.
Playing with the remote helps me to pay attention, not doze off. Most of the game is rather boring, but I'm trying to learn to like it. Baseball can be boring too. Maybe the pitch clock will help a little.
Drove past the Rays spring training facility this afternoon in Port Charlotte, FL, and players were in the house. The game has returned…
Yankees-Twins trade: Gary Sánchez to Minnesota and Josh Donaldson to New York in five-player swap
The deal also includes shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Gio Urshela

I wonder if this means they're out of the running for Carlos Correa?Yankees-Twins trade: Gary Sánchez to Minnesota and Josh Donaldson to New York in five-player swap

I actually really like a lot of the moves the Yankees made, but I feel like the majority of fans disagree with me. But there's 3 gold glove winners in the infield, and I think the lineup is pretty well rounded. It could be a "whole is greater than the sum of their parts" situation.
I would put Wade Boggs in that group. Granted Boggs, played one season shorter than Ichiro, but the average and other stats are comparable to. Or throw Don Mattingly into the mix... I know I am going a little ways back on these though.
Absolutely.
Legit sad that Seiya Suzuki signed with the Cubs.
And just saw Kris Bryant got paid by the Rockies. Wow.

Good player. A bit before my time, though: he was out of baseball in 1977, and I didn't start following the sport until 1978.
What boggles my mind is there was another player named Boog Powell who briefly played for the A's a few years ago, yet they are completely unrelated AFAIK.
Correct...

I was really hoping he’d stay in Atlanta, but they seemed ready to move on from him after signing Olson, so…
