MLB Letter to the fans - https://www.mlb.com/news/featured/a-letter-to-baseball-fans
* MLB reports revenue of $43 billion over the last 5 years.
* Braves open books show they profited $100million last season
Key sticking points - MONEY
- CBT - Players are wrong here.
Players want 238 to 263 by 2026. Owners want 220 - 230.
Owners allegedly use it as a salary cap and they should if players actually want competitive balance. Players refuse to talk about a floor for the same reason.
- Arbitration/ service time/ - Owners are wrong here. It's gross
- Pre Arbitration bonus pool. Players came to $85 million from 115. Owners came to $30 million from 15. Feels like there is room for movement there.
- Free Agency - Owners eliminated draft pick compensation, but this needs a lot of work. related to service time
- Minimum salary - Players should take this. Owners came to $700K. Players wanted $725
- Anti tank draft lottery. Players wanted 8 teams. Owners wanted 3. Owners came up to 5.
Game changes agreed on
- 12 team play-off
- Universal DH
Game changes proposed by owners
- Pitch clock
- Eliminating the shift
- Larger bases - more steal
- More power for MLB to make changes easier and faster
QUICK BREAK
Jake Debrusk
- 7 points in 5 games with 1st line.
- 1st career hat trick
- has NOT rescinded the trade request
* Do you move him?
* The case not to
- Bruins pushing for a cup. If you don't get equal talent or better talent. Trade him in the offseason
HEADLINES with the OBVIOUS ONE
- MLB and the MLBPA have decided to cancel the first two series of the season. The two sides couldn't come to an agreement over who would get richer as they pissed on the ashes of their sport.
- The Celtics get the win over the Atlanta Hawks 107 - 98 Tuesday night.
Jaylen Brown left in the 1st quarter with a boo boo to his ankle and did not return.
Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 33 points 8 rebounds and 7 assists.
Derrick White and Grant Williams each pitched in 18.
Raystrodomus says The Celtics got Ja'd in their match up against the Grizzlies on Thursday. Ja Morant is an alien, but the ookie cookie is still in the oven.
- Jake DeBrusk and the Bruins finally lose out west. They fall to the Ducks 4 - 3 in Anaheim.
DeBrusk failed to record a point for the first time in 5 games.
His trade value is the highest it's been in years and he is still a little twat that wants out of Boston. Buh bye.
The Bruins finished their road trip on Thursday vs the Knights. Raystrodomus doesnt do hockey.
- Under pressure from the international community due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian Billionaire Roman Abramovich is selling Premier League Club, Chelsea.
It is reported that all net proceeds will be donated to the victims of the war in Ukraine.
Swiss Billionaire Hansjorg Wyss is expected to purchase the club in exchange for many monies, an unborn child, and 12 virgins as the world continues to be a playground for old rich dudes.
- The NFL Combine was this week and the Patriots still don't have any coaches.
This has been HEADLINES with the OBVIOUS ONE
Around the NFL
* Combine has started. Free Agency starts March 16th
* Calvin Ridley could cost Pats 2nd round and Chase Winovich
- Do you do it? Is it the Pats biggest need?
- If Joe Judge and Matt Patricia are in charge. You need everything you can get.
* Bruce Arians and the Bucs wont let Brady play anywhere else. Arians takes credit away from Brady.
- Bad business
* Aaron Rodgers - Where is he going
* Miami Dolphins struck out on Brady and Sean Payton
* ESPN paying Aikman $18 mill a year. Amazon ready to offer McVay $100 million

Simplest minds of the week
Brett Netzer Red Sox prospect released by the team after anti semtic
Netzer, 25, was drafted 3rd round in 2017, and last played in 2019 for Boston’s Double-A affiliate, the Portland Sea Dogs.
Brett Netzer called Bloom a “fraud,” “an embarrassment to any torah-following jew” and attacked him for his support of Black Lives Matter and the LGBTQ community. Netzer also questioned Bloom’s Jewish identity.
In another bizarre tweet, Netzer responded to a critic by saying, in part, “I am a racist.”
