    so you have any idea what kind of issues? Not asking for details. Just the arena. Like family. Substance abuse. Girlfriend woes. Mental emotional issues. Some “personal issues” can be worked through and that’s that. Others can be Royce white kind of crap.

    All teams should have been required, or have a future upgrade plan, to have a retractable roof option for their stadiums.

    We all know how much money is involved in these games... and how impactful cancellations/postponents are. A roof pretty much pays for itself within a few years, and certainly within the lifetime of the ballpark. Additionally, with a roof, these venues have the ability to host more than just baseball which also helps recoup the investment.

    Crazy group of SS who will be FA after next season. Interesting in that I would think with 5 stars and 8 players capable of everyday duty, there would be motivation for 1 or 2 to beat the market with an extension. Hard to believe there will be 6 $150M+ deals for SS available in a single offseason, with 2-4 of those guys expecting $200M+.

    Stadiums should float and be portable. The idea of a stadium that can't move because of weather is dated. There's no need for a roof if the stadium can float.
