Now What, Redux

December 11, 2020

As noted in the comments, the Rule 5 draft came and went without a single player coming to or going from the Nationals organization. No married or divorced players, either.

I’d been waiting to finalize the 2021 Watchlist until this, so that’ll probably be my next post. But after that? Yikes.

Perhaps we’ll still be talking about the aftershocks of the MLB takeover. Field of Schemes notes that the 18 SOL teams were recipients of $249MM in public funding. As previously noted, there may be cause for lawsuits, but will there be the stomach to pursue them in the current climate?

Otherwise, I think we’re looking at another long, cold, slow winter.

It’s Wilmington

December 10, 2020

The months of wondering are over. The Wilmington Blue Rocks will become the newest Nats franchisee, joining the ‘Burgs (Harris and Frederick) and newcomer Rochester for the new world order: AAA – Rochester (new for 2021, formerly Fresno) AA – Harrisburg (same since 2005) High-A – Wilmington (new for 2021) Low-A – Fredericksburg (High-A affiliate …

Offseason Update: Dec. 9, 2020

December 9, 2020

At some point today, MLB is expected to announce The 120. As predicted in the comments, the announcements will be made ahead of the actual Player Development Licenses being issued, which Baseball America likens to buying a house sight unseen. Per Ballpark Digest, the announcements are expected to be thirty short, two-graf releases detailing the …

Offseason Update: Dec. 8, 2020

December 8, 2020

Sorry, but multiple sources are now saying that tomorrow will be the reveal of the Final 120 for minor-league baseball. I’m not sure this would be such a big deal if it weren’t for the dearth of any other real news on the minor-league front. The Rule 5 draft? Please. About the only thing anyone …

Offseason Update: Dec. 4, 2020

December 4, 2020

Yeah, I know: We’re still hung up on how MLB will divide its newly acquired fiefdom into 120 teams… As noted in the comments, the new prevailing wisdom is that we’ll know on Tuesday even if we have no hamburger today. And if you’re having hard time with this hurry-up-and-wait, Ballpark Digest points out how …

Saturday Smorgasbord

November 28, 2020

The good news is that “supposably” we’ll get an idea as to The 120 in the next week or two, according to Baseball America. The bad news is that some folks aren’t going to like what MLB will impose. Take Fresno… please. The former Nationals affiliate is to be a Low-A affiliate whenever the minor …

Happy Thanksgiving

November 26, 2020

In my heart, I wish for everyone to be with their families and loved ones today. Because that’s what Thanksgiving has become, despite some of its ugly origins, or that’s the 35-yard-line for the 4th Qtr in Retail. In my head, I know that tens of millions of people will ignore the warnings of the …

The Preliminary 2021 Watchlist

November 25, 2020

As mentioned in my penultimate post, now that the Rule 5 Draft Deadline has come and gone we can go another lap in the 2019-?? offseason with the discussion of the next iteration of the Watchlist. But just like everything else the past 8½ months, it’s an outlier of an exception of a caveat. There …
