Leake's service time: 10.000, the exact amount to receive a full pension. So, Walt Jocketty and Dusty Baker doing right by him in April 2010 and naming him to Opening Day roster let him make a clear-eyed decision today. https://t.co/dZCeCq4GoH— Gabe Lacques (@GabeLacques) June 29, 2020

congrats to the tigers and spencer torkelson's armada
No. 1 overall pick Spencer Torkelson signs with @Tigers for $8,416,300 (slot value = 8,415,300). New @MLBDraft bonus record, also first No. 1 overall pick to get or top slot value in bonus-pool era. Perhaps the best all-around offensive talent to come out of Draft in 20 years.— Jim Callis (@jimcallisMLB) June 30, 2020

god is there a more depressing team for the "best all-around offensive talent to come out of Draft in 20 years" to go to

usually the #1 draft pick goes to a team that is pretty depressed

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred on The Dan Patrick Show: “"The reality is, we weren’t going to play more than sixty games, no matter how the negotiation with the players went or any other factor” So we dragged baseball thru the mud publicly for.. no reason?

Isn't that..... an explicit admission of bad-faith negotiation?? Which would result in a successful grievance being filed?

it's fine because 60 games is the healthy number but 61 games is a risk that will kill ballplayers

i whine about the cardinals broadcasters every year. this year is going to be living hell. i don't want to hear their opinions about ANY of this stuff, like absolutely anything.
i think this is the year i finally give in and cut them off, using only the "in the ballpark" audio option. there's no crowd, there's no vendors. i don't want to hear the announcers. this year it's only the sound of the crack of the bat and whooshing noises of covid19 sweat flying around

As Major League Baseball teams began summer camp Friday for their first organized practices in almost four months amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, one club made news for another reason.The Cleveland Indians acknowledged that they are ready to discuss changing their team name in the wake of news that the Washington Redskins will review theirs before the NFL’s 2020 season.“We are committed to making a positive impact in our community and embrace our responsibility to advance social justice and equality,” the Indians said in a statement. “Our organization fully recognizes our team name is among the most visible ways in which we connect with the community. We have had ongoing discussions organizationally on these issues. The recent unrest in our community and our country has only underscored the need for us to keep improving as an organization on issues of social justice.

I always had heard Cleveland Spiders is one name that could be considered, since there was one back in the early days of baseball.
I'd think that with the Spider logo's etc, it could work well even with the same color scheme.
