Puig signing with Atlanta. Replaces Markakis.
Still haven’t seen anything about years which I’m very curious about.

You wanted Puig for more than a season?? Especially when we have Pache & Waters knocking on the door?
Given the number of teams in the hot-spot states of FL, TX, and CA, I'm not counting on games being played before mid-August, if then.
Canadian officials have concerns about the Blue Jays schedule. They are suggesting longer home stands would be preferable to the Blue Jays going to US and then being back in Canada for short periods of time. The current schedule has the Blue Jays at home for no longer than 14 days at a time. Baseball may have to make some schedule changes to get the exemption from Canadian quarantine rules needed for teams to go to Canada and play without waiting 14 days.
Who really cares about the Blue Jays anyway?
At this point, games are going to be played unless there is a massive outbreak within a clubhouse. Exhibition games start this weekend, and the Yankees/Nats and Giants/Dodgers play a week from tomorrow.
I guess not. I’m always worried about prospects. You never know what you actually have until they’re in the majors.
I think you underestimate the desperation of billionaires needing to squeeze as much money as possible out of this endeavor.
The only thing stopping games in those states is the fortitude of the local and state governments. And even then, MLB would probably just move the games elsewhere.
They've got a young, intriguing lineup. Vlad Jr. can absolutely rake and is fun to watch.
In a short season, I wouldn't sleep on them. Pitching took a step forward with them getting Ryu in the off-season.
I was joking. But, I agree with the first line. Disagree with the second, pretty soundly. Their win total line is 27.5, if I put money on it, I would definitely go under.
The downside on them is their schedule is brutal. @TB, @WAS, WAS, PHI, @ATL is a brutal first 13 games.
Now that I look at their schedule a bit closer, I'd probably take the under on 27.5. They only get 14 games against teams under .500 and then 6 more against the Phils who finished right there and are also improved this year.
On another note, the Orioles schedule is just brutal. After the first week (which includes their only four games against Miami), they get Tampa (3), Yankees (3), @Nationals (3), @Phillies (3), Nationals (3). Later in the season, they play 11 straight against New York (alternating between the Mets and Yankees) then get the Braves and Tampa after that for an 18 game stretch. I'm honestly surprised they get an over/under of 20.5.
Take the under on the Orioles. Its free money.
Probably the safest bet in sports. You could probably move that number around 16 and I'd still take the under.
