I wish I could tell you why this has become the norm. The cynic in me says this is by design, as MLB no longer wants (or needs) to promote MiLB except when it serves its own purposes. (Does anyone besides the MASN/WaPo commenters think this will be indistinguishable from mid-March ST games, aside from maybe letting the our guys have all four AB’s?)
Still holding out hope that we’ll get a transaction post between now and Rickey Henderson’s birthday Christmas, even if it’s often just a look at who the Nats want to fill out the AAA and AA rosters.
Until then, feel free to discuss in the comments…
