I like 4 divisions of 4, but they need to switch a few teams in leagues so that each team has an opposite league "rival" team and that they have divisions that make sense geographically. Tampa should not be with four teams in the AL East who play within an hour and half flight of one another.

The reason a rival team is important is 

The A's moving to Las Vegas messes up the plan for a rival team, as the natural rival for Las Vegas wouldn't be SF, it would be Arizona. And I had Arizona switching leagues to the AL West.

My big gripe is that Houston shouldn't have been the team to move to the AL in 2013, it should've been Arizona or Colorado. The Angels and A's have three hour flights plus to THREE division rivals (SEA, TEX And HOU) whereas the longest flight the Dodgers have in Division is Colorado (2 hours) and it is 1 hour to Arizona. SF has 2x two hour flights to SD and AZ and one 2 hour flight to Colorado.

But moving Houston to NL West somehow didn't make sense to MLB.

 

 

 

Four divisions of four geographically with several teams moving to the  other league. A/L East Baltimore, Boston, New York and Toronto. A/L Central White Sox, Cleveland, Detroit and the Twins. A/L South Tampa, Miami, Atlanta and Washington. A/L West Angels, A's, Arizona and San Diego. N/L East Mets, Phillies, Pirates and the Reds. N/L Central Cubs, Brewers, St. Louis and Royals. N/L South Nashville, Houston , Texas and Rockies. N/L West Dodgers, Giants, Portland and Seattle. Geographically it makes sense provided it's Nashville and Portland that are the new teams, but this will never happen because there would be to many teams moving.

What if the Angels moved to Nashville and the A’s moved to Anaheim? 

now that would really suck !!!!

well that sucked, 6th to 8th !!!!!

I think it's much money for Snell, he's a 5 or 6 inning guy that was really only good for half of last season and I believe the Angels would have to give up a draft pick as well. I'd like to see Ohtani resign then go get Eduardo Rodriguez and Jordan Hicks that's it.

If we are not going to get Ohtani then I would like to see SP Rodriguez and Stroman BP Hader or Hicks if there's any money left DH Martinez or trade Adell, Anderson or Sandoval for a big time RBI guy. I know this won't happen but it's a  nice wish list

It does matter, though.  There's a $2M buyout, so anyone who claimed him would have to pay the prorated portion of the $7.5M he's making this year, plus either the $2M buyout to get rid of him or another $7.5M for next year.

oh damn didn't see the buyout

I suspect he was but I think he has an option that teams didn’t want to fool with…added to his cost…

it's a club option so it shouldn't matter

Question, why wasn't he put on waivers or did I just miss it.

We were assured that Fletcher was the worst hitter in baseball history. Absolutely horrible, and doesn't belong near a baseball diamond. So scratch that.

don't know how you can say that when we have Brett Phillips in the lineup.

1B Gehrig 2B Carew 3B Schmidt SS Ripken Jr. C Bench LF Ted Williams CF Trout/Mays RF Ruth/Aaron DH Mickey Mantle

SP W. Johnson, Koufax, Gibson, Carlton, Pedro, Seaver RP Rivera, Lee Smith

Thanks Jeff, I found something on Reggie's contact where he received 50 cents per admission over 2.4M and an additional 50,000 dollars if the attendance went over 3M.

Give him 40M yearly and then a % of the attendance after say 2.5M. If I remember correctly Reggie Jackson had something in his contract with Angels that was similar.

I think you have to break this trade of Ohtani into what you get for a guy leading baseball in HR's among other things. Then what could the return be for one of baseball's very best pitchers. We shouldn't forget some of the packages that have been traded for star players at the deadline such as Soto to SD, so how do you compare Ohtani to Soto and what that return should be and then you still have the pitching side of the trade. I wouldn't be surprised if this turned into a 3 team trade if it even happened at all.

Can we trade Ohtani the pitcher and keep Ohtani the hitter?

PERFECT !!!!

ohtani to the blue jays for vladdy jr.

That takes care of the hitting side of Ohtani who you getting to fill the pitching side ????

Fletcher hitting 383 or Lamb hitting 311/4HR

anyone that can hit 236 with 4HR

really don't think much of this trade, I think we have guys at SLC that could put up the same numbers....bad deal !!!!!

Ben Joyce welcome to the show !!!!

Ohtani,Sandoval,Anderson,Demers are the first four but after that we have Suarez,Davidson,Silseth and Canning. With Davidson out of options and pitching well in ST he gets one spot and I would pick Silseth for final spot at least until Canning gets a little more work in Salt Lake. Suarez just hasn't earned a spot in the rotation maybe he goes to the BP or Salt Lake just not sure about him.

That rule just SUCKS !!!! if they keep changing the rules it won't even be Baseball any more.
