The Official 2024-25 MLB Offseason Discussion Thread

I like the Yankees when they're not beating the Twins fwiw.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

If they confirmed the realignment, we would become rivals now Grim.

I'd wish it was either the Cardinals or the Yankees instead of the Red Sox in the division. I have an intense dislike for both teams for various reasons.

Yeah. I’ll take the Yankees.

Fuck the Yankees

 

[Worst Player Ever]

I like this changeup of the Divisions let's do it right now! I know MLB are really pushing to have the league start up in May or June so if all as planned expect Doubleheaders galore with all the teams.

Yes! Any games would be great right now, even with no fans.

The Major League Baseball Players Association asked MLB to set a schedule for the 2020 season rather than counter the latest return-to-play proposal by the league, setting the stage for MLB to implement a significantly shortened schedule and deepening the labor strife between the parties.

In a statement Saturday night, MLBPA executive director Tony Clark rejected MLB's latest proposal and said: "Further dialogue with the league would be futile. It's time to get back to work. Tell us when and where."

I swear, these proposal rejections is pissing me off. It's becoming more and more likely that there will be no baseball this season if they keep shooting themselves in the foot with these rejections.

You just know there's gonna be a strike next year even if they play this year at this point

 

[Apoho Creed]

Yeah it's been really frustrating to see the two sides not come to to an agreement by this point. The for sure strike next year for sure was on the minds of both sides especially Players, and I don't know how in the end how this helps either side especially Players if they don't play. I don't see the top flight players being as effected by this, but think about the guy who isn't making tons of money and them not playing right now they are the ones at level 10 when it comes to stress because they want to play now not a Year from now.

According to the Bleacher Report, at least 6-8 MLB owners don't want the 2020 season to be played.

It looks like the beginning of the end of the 2020 season. Nice going fuckers, all of y'all!

 

[Chris]

I think everyone deserves blame here tbh poor negotiating all around that hurt everyone

It's a fucking joke that the inevitable is about to happen. It's a matter of time that Manfred will make the announcement that the 2020 seasons officially cancelled.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

At the very least this isn't some sort of 1994 season where Baseball was at it's absolute peak of popularity and the MLB owners completely fucked it up and killed Baseball as a sport for decades afterwards.

This has quite a few mitigating circumstances to it.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

At least I guess I won’t have to worry about the Braves chocking.

 

[Apoho Creed]

At least I guess I won’t have to worry about the Braves chocking.

I kinda feel the same way about my Phillies. They haven't done enough Pitching wise to compete and it wouldn't shock if play still happens this Year for them to be at the bottom of the basement. Oh but never fear Bryce Harper has enough time to tweet at the Eagles organization like hey sign me if Baseball doesn't happen this Year bruh.

 

[Cwalker]

This was the Yankees year smh. Bullshit

 

[Apoho Creed]

Weeks away people. Play Ball indeed!

I doubt the players are gonna show up unless they get a good deal out of it.
