Orioles need to sign Drew before the Yankees do. Can't believe he isn't signed yet. Without his defense the Red Sox don't win so many of those 1-run playoff games.

It's probably changed some minds about turning down a qualifying offer because they expect to get a big contract on the open market. Now he's unemployed.
Somebody will have injuries problems and sign him, but he's not going to get the money he hoped. Big shot will get a utility guy contract.

never heard about the cat, apparently
Forbes: Braves worth $730 million
That’s up 16 percent from 2013 estimate by the magazine.

edit:

Liberty attributed last year’s increases primarily to changes made in the local TV deal when the Braves moved an additional 45 games to the Fox regional sports networks from Peachtree TV. The Braves won’t disclose the value of the reworked deal. But team president John Schuerholz said the changes have elevated the Braves to the middle of the pack among MLB teams in local TV revenue, a significant improvement.

well that is good news

When is a mascot not really a mascot? When the Dodgers tell you it isn’t.

Only don’t look now, but bouncing around out there in those new plaza areas behind the pavilions and in the kids’ areas in the upper decks is an oversized, oh-so-cute person in a Dodgers uniform with a giant bobblehead who looks amazingly like a mascot.

“It’s not a mascot,” said Dodgers executive vice president of marketing Lon Rosen. “It’s a unique performance character.”

See, that’s what’s great about being a marketing wiz, you can just make stuff up. Rosen also called it a “bobblehead character,” so you can see he’s really trying hard.

This non-mascot mascot made its debut during the Dodgers’ first home series of the year last weekend against the Giants. Apparently, it – Rosen refuses to call it a he – mostly walked around waving and posing with fans for pictures.

And apparently there will be three more!

I mean, if this thingy actually were a mascot. Rosen claims it’s not because you’ll never seen it inside the stadium, dancing on dugouts or on the field trying to antagonize the opposing team. Maybe in a concourse as he traverses the ballpark, but not out front and leading cheers. Shh, a mascot in hiding.

Also, it has no too-adorable nickname. It has no nickname at all, or gender apparently. And more are on the way. Rosen said three more “performance characters” will be unveiled in the coming weeks, though he was unwilling to say if they would all look like variations of Godzilla-sized bobbleheads.

So, you see, not really a mascot!

Buy that if you like. These non-mascots will also be made available to hire for appearances at your local whatever, proceeds going to the Dodgers Foundation.

Lou Seal is superior!

Dude Brandon Belt is an animal. It doesn't even seem like he's swinging any faster or harder. He's definitely not looking as bad when he misses though.

Scully poetry.
"What a marvelous moment for baseball. What a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia. What a marvelous moment for the country and the world. A black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol. And it is a great moment for all of us, and particularly Henry Aaron."
