OT: MLB Thread

Bronfman, wasn't he the guy who did NOTHING when the Siths were doing what they could to damage what little good will the Expires had in Montreal?
 
What exactly was Bronfman supposed to do? Charles decided he wanted out right around the time that Gary Carter asked for what Bronfman thought was too much money. He saw the way salary escalation was going and decided to get off the merry-go-round and let someone else deal with it. He subsequently moved to New York thanks to the pequistes so he has no skin in this game. Stephen Bronfman is just a trust fund baby who spent his youth getting drunk and high on his daddy's money. He's the family f*** up. He's rich like all the other Bronfmans but he's not so well off that he could afford to buy an MLB team outright.
 
At least they realize now a large consortium wouldn't make sense. The 2 teams that they are talking about, Oakland/Tampa , have arguably the top 2 GMs in the entire league. Beane/Friedman. If those guys had payrolls of 100m+, they'd be winning a championship every year. They somehow know how to flip players at the right time, get good prospects in trades for vets. I'd actually be damn excited if these guys were running a Montreal team.

I honestly never thought I'd see the day when this would even be close to coming true. I've hung out in enough walmarts to see that the majority of Montrealers are now, well, I guess you could call them soccer fans, just based on their origins and dress attire. So I'm still skeptical on this working. But, it's crazy now that the media is probably pushing the expos more now than when they were even here lol.
 
A-Rod does have a small point in regards to his suspension. He's never actually failed a test, however, I believe it was proven that he attempted to buy Tony Bosch's evidence in order to hide/destroy it. Honestly, MLB needs to somehow get this matter resolved once and for all because the long it drags out, the worse it looks.
 
That's a debateable topic. He most certainly turned a blind eye, as did most or all owners throughout the 90's but I'm a firm believer that the steroid era started in the mid to late 80's, which is before Selig's tenure as Commissioner.

hell Hank Aaron allegedly took uppers too
 
The Dodgers have signed Clayton Kershaw to a seven-year, $215 million extension.

That's $40 million more than any deal for a pitcher ever.
