That was the key to the whole offseason in my opinion. Should have offered Swanson, Pache, Touki, and someone like Tristan Beck and made DiPoto turn us down. Just imagine a lineup of: Acuña Donaldson Freeman Haniger Camargo Albies Flowers/McCann Inciarte Pitcher
That was always a pipe dream. He's a legit power corner OFer w/ a 6+ WAR that is under team control for 5 more years. He was never gonna be traded
If I may, I’d like to take a quick moment to point out how fucking stupid “Defend the ATL” is. It’s as nonsensical as Titan Up or Ice Up. The inspiration was clearly the Cavs Defend the Land, but come on, what are we defending? Keeping free agents and migrant caravans from coming to Cobb Galleria.
Question--how many other professional sports teams are owned by companies versus individuals? I'm fairly sure most teams are made up of several owners; but there's generally one majority owner that is viewed as "the face" of the franchise. Is Liberty Media unique and we're just screwed, or are there other teams owned by companies that just aren't cheap asses?
FSG is an LLC and is more akin to a partnership than it is a true corporate ownership. No shareholders to answer to, only LLC members.
Some recent ones I can think of is Nintendo owned the Mariners until a few years ago and whoever that was the ricketts bought the cubs from
LLCs have members who own membership interests as owners. Corporations have shareholders who own stock interests as owners. LLCs are also either “member-managed” meaning the members run the day to day operations and the members act more like executives or “manager-managed” meaning managers (can include some members) are hired to run it and the members act more like a Board of Directors. But never are members like shareholders who only have the ability to vote for Board members which is why they have such high fiduciary obligations owed to them by corporations.
NYT owning stock in FSG has more to do with voting control or shared profits in the latter than it any obligations it has to its own shareholders.
I just can’t get enough of the lie that the increased revenue from a taxpayer-funded new stadium will be funneled back into the team’s payroll. By no means is this a Barves only thing, but it’s especially egregious when they moved the team 20 miles outside the city. Then again, I’m a resident of Fulton so fuck Cobb.
I’m of the opinion Bowman was BCC’d on all of Coppy’s player correspondence and absolutely has no idea anymore because he’s totally out of the loop and DOB has never had any idea except for best underground bands of the 70s and 80s that didn’t have the word “the” as part of their name. Nothing would shock me at this point except for us actually doing something.
what we really need is Sterling A to post what Scott Coleman is hearing. is kimbrel signing? which office episode is the most underrated? the wire or breaking bad? cardi b or ariana grande?
Tickets acquire for opening week & 4/12 vs the stinking Mets. Pretty excited to actually go to some games this year.
This is why I oppose all public investment in transportation or stadiums because it just brings city trash like WED into the clean, family friendly suburbs

Yeah 10/300. He will be DHing plenty at the end of his career but it’s gonna be a tight division for the next half decade.
If the NL adds the DH I won’t care if the Phillies sign Trout and dominate the east as I will stop watching pro “baseball”.
