December 1, 20169 yr I don't think there are any realistic pace of play measures that could be implemented at this point that wouldn't seriously undermine the nature of the game. I wish that weren't such a pressing issue during these meetings.
December 1, 20169 yr I'm afraid more teams would pursuit Jansen now knowing they don't need to give the first round pick.
December 1, 20169 yr I'm afraid more teams would pursuit Jansen now knowing they don't need to give the first round pick. just heard on MLB Network the rule to give up your 1st rnd pick for signing a FA with QO stills applies this off-season
December 1, 20169 yr I'm afraid more teams would pursuit Jansen now knowing they don't need to give the first round pick. It takes effect next off-season
December 1, 20169 yr It takes effect next off-season Weird,why still use the old rules after creating the new ones ?
December 1, 20169 yr Author https://apnews.com/41de5400e505440cba0478fbac8a6ee4/AP-source:-MLB-players,-owners-have-verbal-labor-deal - WS home advantage by winning of all-star game will be erased. (regular season record is the factor) - Min. DL stint reduce to 10 days. - Chewing tobacco will be banned.
December 1, 20169 yr I would like to know the specifics to how they determined Oakland loses its revenue sharing and not the Marlins or any other team for that matter. And can they get it back? Say Oakland has new ownership in a decade and it's someone dying to spend money, why can't they still benefit from revenue sharing? I'm super curious on this.

December 1, 20169 yr FINALLY Yea,finally no more JOKE,that rule was really a joke and the worst thing be our NL all star team seems not win the all star game for many many years.

I wish that weren't such a pressing issue during these meetings. it's such a stupid issue. Do any fans give a shit about pace of play?

All be the super low payroll teams,at least we have a whole new dedicated baseball stadium but they have only a old shared stadium with football team,maybe that's the difference.

December 1, 20169 yr Oakland should have never gotten it but was allowed due to their shit stadium and Loria has clearly deserved all their hundreds of millions of pocketed revenue sharing dollars over the last 20 years
December 1, 20169 yr and the marlins have clearly deserved all their hundreds of pocketed revenue sharing dollars over the last 20 years Did I say that? Don't put words in my mouth.
December 1, 20169 yr Did I say that? Don't put words in my mouth. ill put whatever i want in your mouth
December 1, 20169 yr it's such a stupid issue. Do any fans give a shit about pace of play? It's stupid. It's especially stupid when they're trying to do things like get the game to under 3 hours, say 2 hr 54 mins, from like 3 hrs and 4 mins... so they're basically making a big deal of cutting 8-10 mins from a game. If you can't cut like 30-45 mins of a game then it's not worth the hassle. 10 mins less of a game isn't going to bring in more fans. Real fans don't care about this. They're trying to cater to young people who won't care anyways. There are issues to address but it shouldn't be this grand experiment that's gonna save me 10 mins only.
December 1, 20169 yr I love the pace of baseball, it is relaxing and enjoyable to watch "Yeah but wouldn't you like to end the enjoyment 11 minutes earlier?" -Rob Manfred (I basically just 100% summed up pace of play initiatives right there)
