we sent our helicopter out to get aerials of Arrowhead Stadium and on its way there it noticed a game of Mario Kart had broken out on the Crown Vision board at Kauffman Stadium?? 😂
No matter what happens tonight, be kind, love one another, make good decisions, talk less and listen more. Take a deep breath because despite what you see on this increasingly divisive platform, it’s going to be ok. Mark 12: 30-31
KC,
Thanks for sticking by our side during the lockout. As a thank you, I’ll be giving away 4 tickets to each game on opening weekend (Fri-Sun). Tweet me your best

picture. I’ll pick my 3 favorites and DM the winners.
You guys are the best!
Based on the incredible annual revenue of the league, we feel players with 0-3 years of service should be better compensated.
We want to fix the competitive balance so EVERY team’s focus is winning year after year
We want to fix service time manipulation
Thank you to everyone for all your support and kind words yesterday. What a thrill it was! Very thankful for another healthy year. Look forward to getting back to work soon so we can keep…
The MLBPA is making a proposal to MLB for a season of around 89 games with a full prorated share of salary and expanded playoffs, sources familiar with the situation told ESPN. It would bring the sides closer to a potential deal and is ~25 games under the last union offer.
In a conference call with local media members today, Royals GM Dayton Moore said this about the club's decision to stand by their minor league players:
There is no context in which this sentence should ever be said. There should be one goal. Period. Win a championship. Every year. If that’s not your main goal, sports aren’t for you.
BREAKING: Major League Baseball teams will provide housing for minor league baseball players starting in 2022, sources tell ESPN.

Due to rain in the area, the start of today's game vs. the Detroit Tigers has been delayed.
We will provide an updated start time when it is made available to us.

Actions speak louder than words Alec. This statement was followed by 6 weeks of quiet. I could give you example after example but that one pretty much sums up what these last 2 years have been like.
Can’t stop thinking about these words, which Rob Manfred wrote in his letter to fans when MLB imposed a lockout Dec. 2: “We hope that the lockout will jumpstart the negotiations and get us to an agreement that will allow the season to start on time.”
Working on a 15 year extension so I can give your record a real run!! In all serious, crazy respect for what you did. One of the all time untouchable records. I just can’t wait to get back on the field soon to play # 248!!
It’s a simple fix then. Pay players who put the ball in play and pitchers who throw strikes more. Players who hit homers are paid more. So players strive to only hit homers. Same with pitchers. Strike outs get guys get paid. Throwing strikes and getting weak contact pays less.
"We need to find a way to get more action in the game, get the ball in play more often, allow players to show their athleticism some more, and give the fans more of what they want.” - Theo Epstein on MLB's entertainment value
I can. Baseball is coming back. That’s a fact. And it’s such a beautiful game. While the business of it may suck sometimes, that doesn’t take away from the beauty of the game we love and miss. “Distance makes the heart grow fonder.”
Even though everyone in baseball has seen this coming, emotions are flowing tonight
Anger. Sadness. Disapointment. Profound worry about the future. And agreement this is one of baseball’s worst days ever
That’s from both sides. One quote:
“I can’t see a single ray of sunshine”
Just bought a tree funnel to water my Christmas tree. Lady at the register asked, “Is that really for your Christmas tree or are you using it for a beer funnel?” Guess it’s time for a shave and a haircut...
Due to heavy rains expected in the Kansas City area tonight, our game vs. the Blue Jays has been postponed.
The teams will play two 7-inning games as part of a split doubleheader tomorrow, April 17. Game 1 will begin at 1:10 p.m., Game 2 is scheduled for 5:10 p.m.
I’m open to all analytics and metrics in our game. Besides the ones that say Matt Chapman isn’t the best 3B in the American League. Those metrics can eat my shorts
The way baseball is set up, this is good “business.” But the business model has got to change. Teams should be rewarded for pursuing wins now. Instead, it seems teams are more inclined to the idea of “its cheaper if we wait.” That needs to change.

will keep Vlad Guerrero Jr. down in Triple-A until he can't accrue a full year of service time in 2019, thereby pushing back his arbitration and free agency clock a year.

This guy

is playing a video game right now!! 35 homeruns on August 11th with half of his games being at the biggest park in the league!?! Incredible to watch.
Due to expected rain in the area, the start of tonight's game will be delayed. We will provide an updated start time when more information is available.

Rewatching this makes me remember how special Rosenblatt was. NCAA really messed up by getting rid of it. “Newer” is not always better, definitely not in the case with the CWS

On the field, players battle to win the World Series. But behind closed doors, teams compete for a lesser-known title. Inside the fierce fight over arbitration, and why MLB hands out a championship belt for holding down salaries:
Due to rain in the area, the start of tonight's game in Cleveland will be delayed. We will pass along an updated start time when one is made available.
