MLB '24 Regular Season Thread

..... as I said.

1) Who's Joe Sheehan?
2) Why does he make this claim?
3) Why should we believe his claim?
Thanks. I'll hang up and listen.

 

Former Baseball prospectus editor and current newsletter writer. One of the best baseball writers there is if you ask me. Maybe even if you ask some others. He’s been roasting stupid owners for awhile, especially John Fisher. Sheehan doesn’t believe the A’s will ever play in Oakland and thinks their Sacramento deal is shaky.

Doesn't think they'll play in Oakland or Vegas?

 

Sacramento is becoming as big a flustercluck as finding a place in the Bay Area. They're talking about a turf infield, which'll heat up nicely in a Sacramento summer.

 

Joe Sheehan is smarter at his dumbest than Rob Manfred or John Fisher have been at any moment in their lives. But they've got the power here and fucking Oakland is their only objective. I'd love to see this whole thing blow up in their faces but they can just ram it thru.

 

Gonna check out NBCSN Chicago to see what Ozzie has to say ... Even though after all these years, sometimes cannot understand what he's saying.

 

Oops, meant they won’t play in Vegas. Which isn’t exactly a hot take.

 

The Portland MLB group finally bought some land for its (as of now) imaginary stadium.

And now fans throwing objects on the field in the seventh inning. The Senators' last game in DC comes to mind.
