2023 – A new beginning for the Royals. Matt Quatraro era begins. A year to see which of our young players will make up the core going forward. Can Bobby Witt Jr become a superstar SS or will go to the hot corner? Will Brady Singer take the next step forward? Will Salvy be Salvy? Will Big Vin or Pratto take first base? Will they find a position for MJ? Who else emerges from the youth movement? Not to mention the development of the new downtown stadium.

Players union and ass wipe Scott Boras is the bigger problem in MLB than the owners
MLBPA executive director Tony Clark, during a conversation about MLB's new Economic Reform Committee, said he believes MLB's goal is to have a salary cap.
Clark: “We’re never going to agree to a cap. Let me start there. We don’t have a cap. We’re not going to agree to a cap.”

Scott Boras is awful for all the players beside the top 1% of guys. He's all about making sure teams can give out mega deals to his top clients and avoid the luxury tax. A salary cap and salary floor would be beneficial for basically 99% of MLB players. I can't believe a salary floor wasn't the number 1 thing that the union would be asking for, since they're representing all the players and not just the guys getting >$100 mil contracts. Somehow Boras and the idiots in the union convinced all the people they represent that a higher luxury tax was more beneficial than a spending floor.
Fuck Boras, the MLBPA and the idiots in sports media. [Reply]
There will never be a salary cap partly because there isnt revenue sharing in baseball. And there never will be. There should be a salary floor, but you aren't going to see a cap beyond a luxury tax. [Reply]

Salary floor would be extremely beneficial. [Reply]
It's good that this sort of thing is happening early in spring training, because one thing is abundantly clear: Umpires have been instructed to enforce the pitch-clock rules strictly. It's the only way, MLB believe, they'll work. So hitters and pitchers both know: Be ready early.
