wieters will accept orioles' qualifying offer, which i find a little surprising -- maybe more to do with next year's free agent class being weak?

http://m.mlb.com/news/article/157705878/mlb-fox-streaming-deal-a-great-thing-for-fans
Baseball got more accessible for millions of fans on Thursday when Commissioner Rob Manfred announced a three-year deal with FOX Sports in which 15 teams will allow in-market streaming of games on phones, tablets and other devices.These 15 teams are the ones with games carried by FOX regional sports networks -- Angels, Braves, Brewers, Cardinals, D-backs, Indians, Marlins, Padres, Rangers, Rays, Reds, Royals, Tigers, Twins and Yankees -- and Manfred said baseball is negotiating with the carriers of the other 15 teams to try to complete similar agreements by Opening Day.This announcement means that if you subscribe to your local FOX broadcasts of your team, you will be able to watch the games on your phone or tablet in that market. Previously, teams hadn't been allowed to stream their own games into their local market. This is one of those days when the world shifted a bit, when it got just a bit smaller and connected us to our local teams in ways we've never been connected before.

@joe_sheehan Nice that the #Mets play the #Royals next year. They won't have to mail Terry Collins his ring.
― skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Friday, 20 November 2015 22:14 (eight years ago) link
i was at maybin's mlb debut, which was a big deal at the time -- BA's #6 prospect, 20yo, five tools, etc. iirc he looked completely overmatched at the plate and misplayed a ball pretty badly in left
in retrospect he doesn't really seem to have any tools? steal a few bases, i guess, but i'm not sure why the tigers would want to pay him $8m plus one more to buy him out in a year
lol that game was also joba's fourth big league appearance; he wouldn't allow a run until his 12th. we were all so young and had such promise
― mookieproof, Saturday, 21 November 2015 00:52 (eight years ago) link
He was one of the more exciting Braves to watch on offense this past season, but that's really not saying much at all. "Objects in mirror are nowhere near as close as they appear to be."
