    Rays announcing new St. Pete stadium

    That's Historic Gas Plant District, Sir. Also, if I'm in the Tampa Bay chamber of commerce, I'm calling google in the morning to get my Maps profile picture replaced.

    2023 MLB Draft

    Back-of-the-envelope math says they have about $2.5M left (assuming they use the 5% overage) allocated to Anderson, Duffy, Reimer, and any >$150k bonuses after round 10. $8,251,200 on Teel, Zanetello, Campbell, Early, Weins, Rose, O’Donnell, Wehunt, and Ammons. $10,295,100 in pool money...

    2023 MLB Draft

    There's no roster limit in rookie ball (the complex league) so they can put a lot of draftees down there without making cuts. I think nine draftees from the first ten rounds of the 2022 draft started with FCL assignments.

    Boston Red Sox select Kyle Teel in the 2023 MLB draft.

    Hey, he's improved across the board from last year to this year, repeating at AA. He's dropped his ERA from 5.54 to 5.51, upped his k/bb ratio from 1.95 to 1.98, and slashed his WHIP from 1.554 to 1.515. If that doesn't scream constant and never ending improvement, what does?

    Cooled off. Since those first six games, he's gone 30 games with 3 HR, a .696 OPS, and a negative WPA.

    Red Sox sign Masataka Yoshida

    Yoshida isn't eligible for the PPI bonus, he didn't make two of the three main prospect top 100 lists. It seems a little harsh that one rookie could generate a bonus for his team but another can't, but the idea behind the PPI incentive was to keep pre-arb players from being stashed in the minors...

    Sox acquire Eric Hosmer

    As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, it looks like SD recovers $5m (plus whatever the Red Sox are paying Hosmer) in cap space for each of the next three years just by trading him for nothing rather than releasing him: A Minor CBA Change Could Create Contract Wrinkles Nothing if not...

    The Mainboard MLB Lockout Thread

    There's already an MLB rule that non-catchers have to be set in fair territory when the ball is pitched (often used to ensure first basemen aren't standing in foul territory when holding a runner on first). It's simply setting an initial condition for play to begin, the defense doesn't get to do...

    2019 Trade Deadline

    They didn't go into the season with Koji as the closer in 2013. Joel Hanrahan was the dedicated guy, then Andrew Bailey was the dedicated guy. Then around a quarter of the way into the season Koji inherited the job after having one save in his previous two seasons.

    Who Is Luke Voit?

    Dunno why but like the first 12 times I read his name somewhere I read it as Luke Volt, not Voit. Luke Volt would be kind of a cool superhero alter ego name.

    JDM

    Speier's article doesn't say the current offer is $100 million. It says it's closer to $100m than $125m. That doesn't conflict with Bruce Levine's tweet from last week reporting that the offer is and has been $110 for five years. It feels like the past few pages of this thread have adopted the...
