Myers is 32 and has had one decent year since he was a rookie and that was the year cut short by Covid. Winker is 29 and has had one bad year since his rookie year. Yeah he has been absolutely horrible this year but not exactly apples to apples. (And 8.25 million is not high priced.)

In 2021, the A’s asked the City to form an infrastructure financing district for the project. Oakland’s Council, including current Mayor Sheng Thao, agreed and convinced Alameda County to consider "opting in” as well, nearly doubling the potential funding available for public infrastructure, parks and affordable housing. In 2021, the A’s asked the City to raise nearly $360 million to fund offsite infrastructure. The City rose to the challenge, raising more than $375 million in non- City funding (with another $100 million in grant applications currently pending). In 2021, the A’s asked Oakland’s City Council to certify an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the project. Oakland not only did so, but successfully defended it in court – twice. https://www.oaklandca.gov/resources/waterfront-ballpark-district-at-howard-terminal-faqs

Maybe Vegas was a leverage move? I am not so sure MLB wants Vegas to have a team. The threat of Vegas getting a team can be used for new stadium deals in existing markets.

Article: Is Julio Teheran Really This Good?

Great article, Jake! -
He just hit a 458 foot dinger
-
wow, nice pickup

Another one en route:
-
Yep he's 94. Born in 1928 when his dad was 75 (born in 1853). And when HE was born President Tyler was 63 years old. So if Al Pacino's kid has a kid when he's 75 and that kid (Pacino's grandkid) makes it to their 94th birthday the year will be 2192 (Happy 252nd Al Pacino!)

Here's the first one (a tall corner! Woot!):

Bat signal is out again. Sounds like they got a few commits that came on official visits this weekend.
-
Gotta pass the physical :)
-
Sorry to hear that, man. Hope you land on your feet with a new gig soon.
-
The thing is, if that didn't hit Adames it would have drilled the wall directly behind him. So someone NOT taking a risk by standing at the railing could have potentially gotten smoked.

Guys, lay off calling other people's ideas "stupid". Thanks.

Foul territory has decreased about 20% after the last run of new ballparks were built. Presumably the dugouts are much closer than back in the day when men were men. I can see making those safer. If a guy hits a 100mph screamer at your head you won't stand much chance even if you are paying attention. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/ballpark-playing-surfaces-are-shrinking-in-a-surprising-way/

John Olerud approves
-
Yep pretty much.
-
I read somewhere that the houses for sale in the Milwaukee market are down 49% from a year ago. There is just no supply right now. Stuff goes up on Zillow/Redfin and is gone within 24 hours unless it's at the high end of the market.
-
That's true. I lived in Chicago for 17 years and I think I saw a sheriff pull someone over south of the border once or twice. Avg speed goes up 10 mph once you are in Illinois.
-
I think a big part of the issue is that the cities you mentioned have generations of fans. It gets passed down from grandpa/grandma to dad/mom to kid. In Phoenix I bet half the population moved there from someplace else and brought their allegiances with them. That could change over time as people stick around and put down roots.
-
I lived in AZ when they were looking at sites for the new arena. The one on Scottsdale Road south of Old Town would have been really cool. I forget why they didn't go that route. I think there were concerns about traffic and highway access. There was also talk about a light rail extension up Scottsdale Road but that didn't happen so maybe that played into it.

Any chance Milwaukee gets a team?
