The Crombie campaign came armed with stickers. A spell-checker, apparently not.

The NFL only has one because they offered it in exchange for free agency, NHL and NBA only have one because teams were quite literally going bankrupt so it was cap or the league would eventually cease to operate
The other leagues were strong armed into a capped model. MLB and the owners do not have anything substantial enough for the players union to say yes to a cap.

Came here with a bunch of promises, delivered on none of them, lied when pointed out, publicly complained his whole way out the door, helped one of their top players plan his way out of town, now that he's done he's gushy again because he wants that post-playing gig. 🤷♂️

Survey fans on cheaper tickets, $5 beers, free parking, no blackouts, every game on one affordable streaming service, no jersey ads and fewer commercials.
Funny how fan opinion suddenly matters when it aligns with the owners’ financial interests.
These guys aren’t prepared to sacrifice billions in revenue and risk a work stoppage out of concern for competitive balance. They do not give a shit about competitive balance.
Owners want a cap because they believe it benefits them financially. Full stop. The fan surveys are just a convenient way to sell it.
Trying to convince fans that billionaire owners suddenly care about them is insulting.
“Owners do not intend to pivot from their contentions. Their insistence on a cap and floor -- backed, the league says, by surveys that show fans want one”, per @JeffPassan
There are 3 MLB owners that are NOT billionaires (but, rather, just 9-figure millionaires).
A salary cap lets owners off the hook.

MLB is dedicated to a salary cap because they surveyed the fans…ok show me the survey on blackouts next.
Major League Baseball wants a salary cap and says it's to ensure smaller-market, lower-payroll teams can win in the postseason.
Milwaukee, Cleveland and Tampa Bay are winning without one.

ONE OF THE MOST PATHETIC ATTEMPTS AT MANUFATURING A LEGACY YOU WILL EVER SEE BY A DEFERTENTIAL MEDIA!
“ONE OF THE MOST UNBELIEVABLE PLAYS YOU WILL EVER SEE BY A SHORTSTOP!”
OTD 25 years ago, Derek Jeter came out of nowhere to cut off a throw from the outfield and nail the runner trying to score. The @Yankees, who were facing elimination, held on to win the game 1-0, then won the next two games to capture the series, and “The Flip” became one of the most legendary moments of The Captain’s career.

I legit can’t believe the takes I’m seeing about Jazz Chisholm from Blue Jays fans looool. People are talking about the guy like he has an Aroldis Chapman type of history when in reality he’s just arrogant and sometimes makes mental mistakes

HEY BREWER FANS
You guys aren’t ready for Yamamoto
You guys aren’t ready for the complete game
You guys aren’t ready for your offense to fall apart
Don’t run Brewer fans.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Brewers were infact ready for Yamamoto and the complete game, which they won 7-4 to go 2-0 up in the series

Dude makes a generational catch to prevent the Blue Jays from walking off the World Series, but can’t make a routine fielding play against the Brewers 😭😭😭

Instead of replying to each..
- They were found not guilty, they were not found innocent. Meaning a crime was committed but its not 100% proven they did it from evidence that was allowed.
- Oilers fans sure do worship scumbags.
- She said no, after that its rape. Full stop. – at Mississauga, Ontario

Sidney Crosby won two gold medals and went back to the American market team he plays for without any fucking issues. We gotta stop making excuses for these idiots. Hell, the CAPTAIN OF THE AMERICAN TEAM came back to his Canadian club team and played without issues. It's bullshit.
.@emilymkaplan describes how hard it was for Brady Tkachuk and Connor Hellebuyck to return to their Canadian teams after experiencing success with USA Hockey at the Olympics. #OverDrive

“No, see, it’s funny because there’s a very specific type of person who’s BOTH a Yankees and Cowboys fan. And this week, the Rays swept the Yankees AND the Bucs beat the Cowboys. Which means Tampa Bay got to ruin the same person’s week TWICE”

The lockout will be tough but seeing as how four of five remaining playoff teams are ranked 19th, 24th, 28th, and 30th (last) in payroll it’s obvious why it’s necessary. We need to fix the competitive balance issue plaguing the sport.
News: MLB sent a 34-page memo to owners and high-ranking officials across the league detailing what to expect — and how to act — during the lockout.
MLB’s official website and club websites will again be scrubbed of player images and videos.
And holiday cards? MLB says clubs shouldn't send them to players after Dec. 2.
