As baseball changes, that distant thunder you hear is the Trenton Thunder

After 18 years, the Yankees are pulling out of Trenton, and the owner of the Double-A Thunder is muy pissed off. Says Joseph Plumeri: 

"(Friday night), we learned through the media that New York Yankees management has made the calculated and ungracious maneuver to leave the urban setting of Trenton for the affluent confines of Bridgewater Township, leaving one of the finest facilities - according to Major League Baseball - without an affiliate...

"My heart breaks for the thousands of stadium workers, fans, and residents of this great city. This move by the Yankees removes a key source of income for Trenton. Despite repeated assurances that the Thunder would remain its Double-A affiliate over the last 16 months, the Yankees betrayed their partnership at the 11th hour."

Another sign that, when this pandemic finally ends, baseball as we know it will not look or feel the same. 

The NL with a DH. 

Extra-inning tie-breakers. 

Seven inning doubleheaders. 

Reduced minor leagues.

Rearranged minor leagues. 

A heavy-spending Mets owner. 

DJ LeMahieu in another town?

One thing unchanged: The Yankees will still be following the money

Another disgrace. Though not as bad as abandoning Staten Island.

I know all the MLB owners are putzes. I just wish ours weren't quite so continually evil.

They are taking the fun out of it.

And the River Dogs got flushed down the toilet

In other news that speaks highly of the integrity of baseball, the Sux hired Alex Cora back.

What a piece of shit. And Cora sucks as well.

MLB can go fuck itself
