What does college football look like in 20 years?
Players will unionize in single group after starting as multiple. States will move to cut funding, college teams will be forced to become full on licensed affiliates of universities and the big conferences will act as essentially upper end developmental league to the NFL, etc. As ratings for sports continue to decline, companies will pay less and less,tickets prices will soar up. TV deals and what not will become less lucrative and more sponsorships will be had for college athletic league.

This is where I see the MLB divisions trending from this offseason. Most Improved 1. NL East - Mets have spent enough, Phillies are spending again, Braves have traded up, Marlins and Nats are in the celler 2. AL West - Rangers have some decent arms, Mariners added a little more firepower to their lineup, Astros held about the same overall, As are still weak, and Angels I suspect will actually hold together a bit better this year. 3. AL East - Yankees will have a good year with Bader and their new pitchers helping them win some games when Judgeās bad isnāt going, Oās will be steadily improving, Jays slightly improved, Red Sox are tanking, Rays are meh Most regression 1. NL West - Shocker is how fast the Dodgers have been gutted, Padres are slightly better, the rest is meh. 2. AL Central - Guardians and Twins are about the same, Sox are going down to visit the Royals and Tigers 3. NL Central - Cubs are somewhat better and everyone else is about who they were this past season.

Not terribly surprising. Tucker is the newsmaker if we are in talks with him on an extension.

Maybe instead of taxing teams that go over the luxury tax (Mets) repeatedly is to revoke their first round draft picks the following year on first consecutive year violation. The more consecutive years you break, the more draft picks you forfeit.

Weāll see but based upon who will have expiring contracts after next season, thereās no one weād want to trade for.

Vegas canāt go of the Dodgers. That will change by February as theyāve been gutted with very little to replace their losses.

You DONT do trade deals without a GM. Fuck this speculation. I hope that was the ask and someone in Houston said GFY. Iād rather come up short next year in the playoffs than mortgage the ENTIRE reason weāre okay with letting Verlander walk.

Looking ahead at the FA class of 2024, there are no good options at catcher. The OF options arenāt so great either. This is the offseason to make those moves.

There is no reasonable or somewhat unreasonable offer for Tucker the Astros could make. Iām convinced he wants to be somewhere else.

For Houston to be this hard up on catchers makes me think they donāt believe Diaz/Lee are ready. We donāt have much farm, so Vasquez for 3 years makes sense. With LF/DH I have to think beyond just 2023. RF if we keep Tucker is 7-8 years 300 million at this rate. If they canāt tie him up in time before arbitration, we need to be looking to replace Tucker somewhere in the lineup. Maybe Benintendi (if still available) starts looking like a super great deal.

Weird. I thought the pitch was more WAR than Murphy. Looking him up, I see a lower WAR. Iām team Vasquez letting him catch 4 out of 6 starters.
