Are you guys expecting anything to happen before they agree to a new CBA? I think there's gonna be a long work stoppage and we won't see anything meaningful done for quite a while.
Would be stunned if they have a full 2022 season.

A's should finally move..
Man, their owner is worth $3 billion. Dude could finance his own stadium and have a nice payroll; he just wants to penny pinch.
Pathetic ass franchise. Their owner is literally the 4th richest in the MLB.
its a joke how teams like the Pirates and A's run their franchise. Its not good for baseball.....The MLB needs a team salary floor or something. How you gonna get rid of dudes before they even hit arbitration
Imagine crying poor when you a billionaire and are in the Bay Area. Get the new stadium built or the GTFO the bay

I can't believe the Dodgers gave that bum Andrew Heaney 8 million to pitch for them.
The thing about Andrew Heaney is that he has good stuff.
Teams will continue to take a chance on him, hoping they can fix him because he's really just held back by his habit of allowing home runs.
He needs to lower his BB rate a bit. But he's left handed and strikes guys out.
He's such a tempting project because the upside is enormous if he could just get those things under control.
It's possible that "this is just who Heaney is" and he will be solidified as another Robbie Ray. But hell, even Robbie Ray showed what he was capable of this past season by lowering his home runs a bit.

Yup, Ray did it in 2017. His issues has always been walks too.
Not sure this is accurate.
From 2012 through 2021, here are the records for the Oakland Athletics and the Tampa Bay Rays:
Games played:
Oakland Athletics - 1,518
Tampa Bay Rays - 1,519
Record:
Oakland Athletics: 806-712
Tampa Bay Rays: 813-706
Winning percentage:
Oakland Athletics: .531
Tampa Bay Rays: .535
In those 10 seasons, Tampa has been in the playoffs 4 times while Oakland has been in the playoffs 6 times.
Yes, Tampa went to a World Series and lost and Oakland hasn't had a World Series appearance in 32 years.
But in terms of performance over the last decade, the teams are more or less even.
That Tampa won 100 games in 2021 and Oakland only won 86 gives the impression that Oakland is a far less successful team. But I think that's just perception.

Owners around the league know they're fukked because the economy is on the verge of a recession, coupled with Covid and inflation...things are going to get rough.
The players ain't trying to hear it.
I support the players.
