    Does MLB need a salary cap/floor?

    Salary caps are usually tied to a percentage of league revenue. So the spending on players doesn't change, just the distribution.

    Choosing your Favorite Child

    There was a post in the Yamamoto thread to nowhere about liking the 2013 team more than the 2018 team. I totally agree that the 2013 season was more enjoyable.

    I just got confirmation from my season ticket representative that you will no longer be able to use your Red Sox rewards card as a ticket for games this season. Electronic ticketing, which is now the default option for all season ticket accounts, is exclusively handled by the MLB Ballpark app...
