Mlb would rather play baseball on sand and oil fields than in Oakland.

Must be because oil equals money.

Waiting for the announcement that Jose Canseco will captain the new team.

Not sure, hard to find info on it. Just know the main people involved are a number of former players and the Kash Shaikah guy who apparently founded sports betting and marketing companies before being the President of this league

Is it going to be a LIV golf version of baseball?

Watch one of them offer Ohtani like 200 mil per year

Nah, to me this seems like a natural area to target to grow the sport, cricket has become very popular in India and I'm sure baseball would love to try to get a piece of that. MLB recently opened some academies and an office in India

Do they have a dedicated minor league set up yet? Might want to organize that first.

Wow I thought Andrelton Simmons retired already.

He was so damn good in his prime. Fell off early.

No they’re trying capitalize on crickets popularity in the region and convert some of them to baseball

 

[Unholy Diver]

Is Bartolo Colon actually going to play over there? There are some recognizable names there but do any of them have anything left?

 

[Dr Pepper]

I've been staring at that draft order trying to figure out how they came up with it, and I still can't.....like there's only 4 teams, and they all get two picks per round for some reason, but I can't figure out why they chose that pattern.

Where are they going to play? That’s the most interesting question to me. I guess in India they can use cricket stadium but I don’t know if they exist in UAE.
