Every single time Sokroka's name comes up I can't help but think of idiot Bud Selig and his role in the Mike Sirotka deal. Had so much promise only to be injured with Selig being shady. Come to think of it, so many commish's are shady.
David Stern=Roger Goodell<Bud Selig. I wouldn't particularly put Bettman there as he's overall not been too controversial except for the non admission to concussions (probably for compensatory purposes...but he's weeding it out with skill).
I've decided I don't like the automatic intentional walk rule. I watched the Twins vs Angels on Sunday, and the twins intentionally walked Ohtani. I think they should have to throw all four pitches, because the pitcher and manager should need to feel the boos for the full minute. Intentional walks suck in general, but as a ticket buying fan it sort of felt like getting cheated out of watching Ohtani bat. The Twins starter pitched well but had thrown a lot of pitches by the time Ohtani came up in the fifth, so the decision was probably reasonable, but as a fan you want to see him play.
As a fan I would prefer the game to move forward then waste my time watching intentional walks.

Vegas is already getting the As, and MLB won't go back to Montreal.
Charlotte and Nashville are the two biggest metro areas in the US without MLB. I think a sleeper pick would be Austin. Biggest city without a big 4 sports team, fast growing, wealthy.

Jacob deGrom is going to go down as one of the biggest 'What if' stories in baseball history. At his peak he was pretty much as good as any pitcher ever

As Canada's only Rangers fan, I'm sad that he's out for the next 12-15 months. That said, his presence brought the ability to basically sign a brand new rotation, which hasn't missed a beat with DeGrom out of the lineup.
