Yeah I did. I thought they would have pulled it off, the money is there.

But 10 years 300M? The White Sox were never going there.

Kudos to San Diego letting their nuts hang and going all in

I wonder how does Dodgers fans feel. Machado joined a different NL West team

Good for Manny. Warm weather and 300 mil, I wouldn’t care about winning. Pay me.

New Era is eliminating over 200 New York jobs to make cheaper MLB on-field caps

New Era, the company that holds the exclusive rights to manufacture and sell MLB hats, is closing down the union plant that sews hats for players to wear on the field of every game they play.

According to the Buffalo News, the plant is being closed so manufacturing can move to a non-union plant in Florida, while nearly 220 skilled workers at the Derby, New York, plant will be out of a job.

New Era ‘pivot’ from manufacturing to marketing

New Era, which was founded in Buffalo, New York in 1920, has spent the last several years trying to get out of the hat manufacturing business. The Buffalo News reported that with the exception of the plant that makes MLB on-field hats, all of New Era’s hats will be produced overseas by third-party factories.

So why isn’t that particular plant moving overseas? As part of the massive branding contract between New Era and MLB, MLB stipulated that all of its on-field hats need to be made in the U.S. So New Era is choosing to close the Derby union factory and move the manufacturing of those hats to a non-union shop in Florida.

As New Era closes all but one of its U.S. factories, it’s not lowering the prices of its hats, but doing other things with that money. The Buffalo News reported that New Era has spent millions of dollars on celebrity marketing, such as hiring Will Smith’s son to DJ a party in the hope that Will Smith himself would show up (he didn’t).

New Era has freely spent money on marketing. That includes lavish parties at all-star and championship games. It also includes naming rights to the Buffalo Bills’ stadium, which became New Era Field in August 2016 for a reported $5 million to $7 million annually over seven years.

This is a damn shame

Don't think they were ever attached to Manny TBH. He was brought in as a postseason rental for sure.

Supposedly Lozano gave the teams the notice yesterday to send their final offers.

Padres/Sox were neck and neck and the Padres pushed it over the top going to 300M
