Yankees to add Maddox to their allstar team


Recommended Posts

I am almost convinced after all this, it will definitely be in the talks, and the players union has zero leverage.

Stuff like this makes 1/3 of the teams in the league completely obsolete. Fans will lose interest, and such.

If Maddox signs with the Yankees, baseball will become sport's official joke.

I wish there would be a Salary Cap in baseball, as it would make it more exciting like Basketball and Football, but if there are any plans for it, the players will strike because they won't want a pay cut, and that will be even worse for the game. It's a lose-lose situation for Major League Baseball. I guess the only thing they have going for them is the David vs. Goliath matchup (Anyone else vs. The Yankees)......just waiting to see if anyone can knock off the Yanks.

These days, the biggest problem in all of sports is that with the exception of football, the regular season means NOTHING.

There are just too many games in bball (way to many teams make it to the playoffs, some are barely above 500), and baseball with 152 games.

There are 162 games, and they arent meaningless. The baseball season is a test of endurance. Most any team can roll off a couple of 5 or 6 game winning streaks in a season and a few 8 out of 10s, the point is to see what teams can hold their ground through 6 months of playing 6, sometimes 7 games a week. The regular season may seem long to outsiders, but to real baseball fans, its just right.

That was a typo, I meant 162.

I have a lot to say about your comment but I would rather not get off topic.

Just found out that the Baltimore Orioles (my team) are trying to trade Jerry Harrston Jr to the Yankess for a pitcher.

I dont really care about this considering we have too many 2nd baseman as it it, but if we do trade (i dont think it will happen) I can amagine us a good pitcher.

Yeah, when you can buy championships no **** you're spending your money well. It ruins the game for everyone else though.

It's almost like they're to the point that they'll need to split the teams up in divisions according to team salaries.

Wait a tick, it was OK for the Florida Marlins to BUY their championship back in 1997, but it's not OK for the Yankees to do it every year they can?

I'm sorry that George can afford to buy the talent he feels is needed to destroy everyone else in the league. Yes a salary cap would help alot, but in the end it's all about who you have on your roster. And George and his people always know who to get and that usually translates into World Series rings.

When they aquired Reggie Jackson, would you people have gone off the deep end like this? When they aquired Babe Ruth?

The NY Yankees (read: not George) as a team are always respected by other teams, because they are always respectful. PLEASE distinguish your dislike for George from the rest of the orginization.

Very well said. In the end, George doesn't win or lose it for the Yankees. It all about how the guys play as a team. The Marlins won the last series because they had a better team than the Yankees. Simple as that. It is all about the better team.

There was an interesting article in today's Chicago Sun-Times about him. It seems that the Cubs are very close to closing a deal with him and expect to announce later this week.

Yea, I think its gonna be the Cubs but Sports Writers say that its a chance that the Yankees can sweep him away by offering a better deal. $$

Cubs are offering him far less then what he has requested. I think it was 10 mill for 2 years and he wants 20 million. I believe it has also been raised to 14-15 million by the Cubs today.

You can't really blame the Yankees for this. I am not a Yankees fan by any means, but the blame should fall on Bud Selig. He is ruining the game of baseball. Without a salary cap, the rich will get richer. It's almost impossible for a small market team to stay competitive these days.

Bug Selig has no say in a salary cap. It is up to the owners.

    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
