If you look at the Wild Card standings in both leagues, there are currently only about 8-9 teams that look like potential sellers.  

that has been the objective

They can try to tap into the summer tourist money that Tampa can’t get. That’s partly how Vegas and Nashville are going to work.

What’s going on with the proposed Vegas stadium?  Anything?

Official groundbreaking on Monday. Some work has been done leveling things and what-not. There are still people that doubt it happens.

Thanks.  The what-not can be time consuming.

I turned on the Cincinnati at St Louis game and the heat index is 106⁰F. CJ Buckner is having problems between innings.

Since I’m hard up for entertainment - apparently - I’m watching the Orioles play the Rangers in Baltimore on this Monday off day for our club and it’s 101° and it feels like 109°. Sweet. Marcus Semien K’d in his first at bat.. forgive me for being childish, but I am hard up for entertainment  

The Orioles announcer said that from the opening day roster almost half of those players have been on the IL. And Orioles players said they don’t expect anyone to feel sorry for them because they have been pretty dominant the previous two years.

Someone with a garden hose that’s a part of the grounds crew is spraying water on the crowd.

Jeimer dfa'd. Reds still owe him over 20 million, even if they buy him out after 2026. His ops+ this year is 11. I don't think I have ever seen it that low for anyone

Per NY times, the Twins picked up Baldelli's option for 2026 today. Odd thing to do in the middle of such an inconsistent year, especially following last year's collapse.

Walker Buehler gave up 5 in the 1st to LAA. ERA now well over 6. Hasn't found his stride after 2nd TJ. Nobody is giving Tarik 10 years. Way too much risk
