Guys, David Ross announced he'll retire too. Don't forget about David Ross, you guys.
So, suppose MLB would expand to 32 Teams(no, it's not happening in real life, just bear with me). One team in AL, One team in NL.
Where would they be located?

Will the cardinals sign Buehrle
>>63635791
Looks p comfy. Dunno if I'll ever end up in that part of the country but I'd sure catch a game there.
MLB should NOT expand. Look at how shitty some of these players are. You really want 50 more players on active rosters that couldn't have been there when there were 30 teams?
>>63635695
>Omaha if they needed a stadium immediately, only place in the country that has one big enough.
You are now aware that the Rockies played their first two seasons at Mile High Stadium.

I've said this before, but I wish MLB would make Omaha the default neutral site/National stadium for any games that have to be moved anywhere, exhibition games, international games, etc. The place only gets used for the CWS and Creighton baseball.
>>63638446
The only international games big enough to draw that many fans right now are the World Baseball Classic and idk what Nebraska is like in March.

>>63641047
Yeah, they've been doing that for a decade, and people still complain that there aren't enough, baseball is boring, doesn't appeal enough to blacks, isn't swag enough, etc
I'm trying out for my University's baseball team next fall. What are some batting exercises that I should do?
>>63641827
9 of the first round picks this year were black. A decade isn't enough time for there to be that big of an increase, but I'm sure you'll see an increase within the next 20 years
>>63641874
Batting cages, hit off of a tee. Make sure to switch the height so you don't get used to one pitch. Have someone lob you baseballs repeatedly while you hit them into a fence. Swinging with a weighed bat is good too for increasing bat speed.
Just curious, why next fall?
Is he MVP yet?
>>63642045
Thanks m8. I'm doing next fall because that'll give me more time to train as opposed to in the spring because I want more time to train. I quit Baseball my freshman year of high school for cross country and track, but I'm going to try and get back into now that I don't run anymore

I made the Varsity team as a freshman while not really training for it in the process. With 10 months of quality training, I could at least train with the team from defensive ability alone.

Greatest pitcher in baseball for 5 years straight.

Epic meme bro. Just epic.
Bumgarner is good, one of the few true aces, and a true pitcher, but he'll never be Kershaw.
Nobody can be like Kershaw.
Nobody will surpass Kershaw.
Kershaw hasn't even reached his final form.

Gardner and Headley for Carrasco or Salazar would be a good trade imo
>>63652730
I don't think Headley has much trade value right now.
I'm thinking Gardner plus a free (eat all salary) Beltran and a prospect of arguable standing would do it. Considering Brantley is hurt and they got no real DH.
“I get it, Simmons is real good with the glove," Coppolella said. “Real good. But there’s more to it. We like our trade. That’s why we made it. We feel we got more talent back than we traded away. You can make an argument that we are actually a team that can win more games with Aybar."

Kershaw completely dominates Arrieta and Greinke with all other metrics. Not even a race.

It won't be Gardner by himself. I'm kind of hesitant who the other guy(s) will be. I'll be okay with it as long as it isn't Betances, Bird, Severino, or Judge.

Both of them are going to blow their elbows out pretty soon anyways
This is gonna be like 2005 all over again, where Derrek Lee got fucked and finished 3rd for NL MVP behind Poopwhore and Andruw Jones.
It's probably gonna be Greinke, Kershaw, Arrieta.

>Gardner and Headley for Carrasco or Salazar would be a good trade imo
Yeah for the Yankees. Whoever is the GM for Cleveland will get fired for that trade.
>greinke doesn't even show up
