Very minor side talks only. Major talks resume in January.

On a brighter note, got my spring training tickets for Cleveland at Angels in Tempe - March 15.

Did they come with instructions for refunds if ST is canceled?
I changed my return flight from a business trip in 1990 and landed in Tucson only to find out ST was canceled due to a lockout.

When you see a death notice like that, first thing that comes to my mind is "overdose"

You have to wonder; he came over in a trade for IF Mark Mathias when the "Indians" were clearing roster space. [Mathias got 36 at bats with the Brewers in 2020 and must have been hurt all of 2021 since I find no stats

Good article in Articles on a very serious possibility of minority owner.
He was part of a group that tried to buy the Mets so that type has to have some money.

Can you ask him to change the forum name to Guardians?

I sent him the request, UD.
Technically the name of the Forum is the Tribe Forum not the Indians Forum. Is there a nickname for the Guardians yet?
Can they still have the same nickname "Tribe"?

Good point seagull - they can leave it the same for all I care.
