MLB 2021-2022 Offseason Hot Stove

neither of those were on the CBA so they're gone, MLB also gained permission to develop rules for a pitch clock, restrictions on the shift, and larger bases for 2023.

So the Dh is gone? I thought it was for both the AL and NL now. unless I misheard.

At last! The horror of NL pitchers flailing helplessly at the plate is OVER!

So, then, there is a universal DH this year? That's what I've read in news reports.

That’s what I’ve read as well. Once again, very good!

Deal also puts in a rule that teams cannot option the same player back to the minors more than 5 times in one season, limiting the shuffle some teams use with players who have options left/ It also added a provision that teams will wear advertising patches on their uniforms for the first time this season.

So glad baseball will be back soon. And I think they are playing the whole schedule?

Yeah, that’s what I’ve heard. The season starts April 7th.

yes. They are making the season 3 days longer. And putting some double headers on the schedule to make up for the series that have been missed.

RIP. Ladders are the bane of retired pro players, killing more than anything else, AFAIK.

I wonder who gets the revenue from those ads the players will wear? And what businesses are allowed to advertise? Will some player for example be wearing an ED ad? Or a condom ad? Or booze? Gambling? The ED stuff, booze, and gambling are all adverts at the parks themselves during games, so I'm sure a player would be happy to wear an ED ad for example...

Great Manager of the Year picks this year.

[achilles]

Kershaw to return as a Dodger for a one year deal. Terms not known.

[achilles]

Gary Sanchez from NY to Twins. Padres are toast, Tatis Jr. will be out with a broken wrist till June earliest. Damn, his deal is looking better and better for him, and worse and worse for the Padres.
