FWIW, the increased revenue sharing going to small markets under the MLBPA’s proposal is illusory. You have more money being diverted away from small markets through the massive increase in the CBT threshold and the consequently sharply reduced tax payments from clubs like the Dodgers. Let’s be honest MLBPA couldn’t care less about small markets. They just want more money for themselves, particularly the well off members who comprise their executive committee. Which basically means they’re pro-Dodgers.

I'd say local TV revenue sharing is just as important, if not moreso than any cap. The Dodgers are able to spend more not only because they've got a massive TV deal due to their market size, but because they are also EXEMPT from having to pay out the standard share of that pie on account of a bankruptcy settlement under their previous owner. That needs to be dealt with first and foremost because how the heck is a market like Milwaukee supposed to compete with that? To Manfred's credit, his idea of combining MLB TV rights like the NFL is a logical solution toward reducing those disparities.

Or.........perhaps no one knows the full truth, and they're withholding judgement in the absence of those clear set of facts. Of course, Brewers fans are going to tend to want to take the Brewers player's side. What a strange concept.

What is this an interrogation? Watch the video yourself at 1:53....

I don't have any reason not to believe Uribe that the Cardinals weren't innocent in this. Should he have done what he did? No. But the Cards' organization does have a history of this sort of crap. It's whatever for me really. So long as he backs up his antics on the field.

Uribe said this happened yesterday fwiw....

Prediction: Cardinals will not throw at a Brewer tomorrow because it will be obviously intentional and clear grounds for a suspension by MLB.

According to Uribe, Cardinals were stirring things up in their dugout and there was an "event" pre-game which precipitated his gesture.....

I can assure you that this team isn't playing Andrew Vaughn at 3B except in case of absolute emergency.

It's worth noting Luis Lara is considered to be arguably the best defensive CF in the minors.

Tarik Skubal may become available here if the Tigers continue to fall off. Just saying.

Bauers in LF and Chourio in CF tonight vs. Imanaga. Giddy'up.

There was handwringing on here over Chourio's defense yesterday.... In far less innings, he's already been better than every single one of our OFers by OAA and FRV. That play yesterday was low probability. Mitchell, for instance, has failed at numerous other similar or higher probability plays this year. Chourio's range gave him a chance at a ball that normally the LF should make. He's fine in CF (no worse than Mitchell and Perkins this year). And elite in the corners.

Jett isn’t on the 40 man fwiw
