2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

Under terms of the agreement—financial terms were not disclosed—beginning in the 2020 MLB season, Under Armour will be the exclusive MLB provider of all on-field uniform components including jerseys featuring prominent Under Armour branding, baselayer, game-day outerwear, and year-round training apparel…

The agreement will put a logo on the front of major league jerseys for the first time—on the right side of the chest, above the nickname or logo, meaning for a Yankees jersey, for example, the Under Armour logo will be right above the interlocking NY.

 

Not trying to come off as a smart *** or a dumb *** (although I might lol).....but when the article says the logo will be on the right side of the chest, wouldnt that mean that the above picture and the description of the logo being right over the Yankees logo are completely backwards?

Right?  TI'm not an idiot for saying the Yankee logo is on the left side of the jersey, correct?

100% guarantee Rizzo would say no to that.

Worth a shot 

Bunch of Scouts / Insider saying the White Sox are being bombarded with calls for Quintana now and they believe they could get about 95% of what they just got for Sale.

Innings eater / Cost controlled for the next 4 years.

I'd trade Giolito, but not Robles for Quintana. Read a couple scouts say Robles could be best prospect in baseball this time next year.

I have a feeling Sale is going to put that fire back in Price. At times Price looks disinterested, Red Sox looking solid for '17

The Yanks jersey was a mock up. Here are the details of the UA deal, courtesy of Bloomberg:

The 10-year partnership, in which Under Armour will provide on-field uniforms and training gear for MLB players, will begin no later than the 2020 season, according to the league.

The agreement will put a logo on the front of MLB jerseys for the first time -- on the right side of the chest, just above the team name. Majestic Athletic currently has the main MLB uniform license, while Nike had a deal for base-layer apparel. Under Armour will be taking over both.

When Majestic, which is owned by VF Corp., decided to end its partnership, the league looked for ways to make the deal more valuable, and one big change is moving the logo to the front of the jersey, according to MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred. That helped MLB more than double what it will earn annually from the license, he said.

Choosing Under Armour also will help MLB attract younger fans, a big objective for a league that has an older fan base, because the brand already has a strong connection to that generation, he said.

“A young brand was really important to us,” Manfred said. “Under Armour is also at the cutting edge of performance.”

:x


Side note, New Era will continue making official caps.

Yea, now with the NE logo on the side

Dombrowski making sure Boston is without a farm system for years to come

the city has been without a sports championship for 2 years now. it's been too long. drastic steps need to be taken.

system is still pretty good

Y'all still have Devers. Probably your top prospect now.

Bryce is trippin. 400 mil for a slap hitter? Nah.

Trea Turner is the face of the franchise.

Dumbo has definitely done a number on the system, but with the way the roster is right now, I'm OK going for it all right now.

Cubs about to get Wade Davis.

 

[madj55]

Pretty soon Trea will be. Have a couple of friends who work in the organization who said Harper's ego has taken a bit of a hit since Turner came up and excelled. Tons of Turner jerseys around Nats Park second half of the year as well.

I was laughing at the slap hitter comment...

No debate from me about Turner's star power...he's legit and not overrated like his teammate.
