I wish to aspire to the level of petty that Lebron James has achieved one day. He's a supposed lifelong Yankees fan and Boston hates his guts, so he buys an ownership stake in their beloved Red Sox.

This is such an unbelievably tone deaf move on the part of Red Sox ownership, to partner with the most disliked athlete in Boston sports (Kyrie Irving notwithstanding). Every time "part owner" LeBron James shows up at a Red Sox game and is shown on the big screen at Fenway Park, he's going to get booed out of the ballpark. Trust me, there isn't a Red Sox fan that even remotely likes this partnership. As has been the case for the last decade or so, Red Sox ownership looked at dollar signs and not at all how the fan base would feel about a move before signing the dotted line.

True Fans are fickle tho. Everything changes when you win and LeBron is only part of the ownership group, he's not the owner. Same with Shaq having some ownership in Kings

Yankees Stadium put out some of its guidelines for allowing fans to attend games: - You either have to submit to a PCR or an antigen test and provide negative results in advance or provide proof of vaccination in order to enter. You also have to have a negative temperature check the day of the game. - Masks that cover the nose and mouth will be required at all times unless someone is eating and drinking, even if vaccinated. Face shields without any sort of accompanying masks will not be allowed.
Yankees Stadium and Citi Field have also opened up their allowed attendance to 20% capacity. I imagine as more people get vaccinated and overall cases go down, these guidelines will eventually relax. The hope is by mid-May that tests won't be required to enter.

IIRC, LeBron James and Maverick Carter also have a minority ownership stake in Liverpool FC. So Fenway Sports Group already had a business relationship with them.

It's a hamstring tear for Carlos Carrasco. No word on if partial or full.
Edit: It's a full grade tear per Puma. 6-8 weeks at least. Thank god we actually have depth this year (and that Taijuan Walker signing is even bigger now.)

I don’t really keep track much these days. How are the Blue Jays looking this year?

Blue Jays at the very least look like they can be a Wild Card team. If everything clicks, they can give the Yankees some serious competition for the AL East.

I don’t think I’ve ever been less excited for baseball. My team sucks ass, and there’s no upside coming from the farm for at least a couple more seasons. Doesn’t help the Dodgers and Padres sit atop the division so even when the upside arrives superior teams will still reign.

I have a question that may make me look like an absolute moron, since I don't know anything about baseball. How useful is a pitcher who has 94 miles per hour fastball, but doesn't have many other pitches in his arsenal?
The reason why I ask it because a local player of Finnish baseball has declared his interest to turning into a baseball professional. He has some obvious natural talent and at 20 year old he can still develop. Rumors have him linked to Yankees, but just because they had a scout around here at some point.

Topps announced earlier that they've reached a deal with Mickey Mantle's estate, and Mantle will be back in Topps products. Mantle's coming back home.

Rumors have him linked to Yankees, but just because they had a scout around here at some point. he might be useful as a reliever, but not as a starter, starters need a variety of pitches. if you only throw a fastball obviously hitters are gonna pick up on that real quick and just destroy you. While a reliever doesn't pitch as much as a starter so you might be able to get away with it at least for a little bit

Luke Voit is out until around June with a Meniscus Tear
That allows Jay Bruce to make the team
