The 2016 MLB thread

[mooby]

I know the regular season is a couple weeks away from starting but it's a little late to start a spring training thread. We can start with this story, the 2016 season hasn't even started yet and it looks like the White Sox are turning into a total shitshow:

Chris Sale -- Chicago White Sox were lied to by exec Williams

I feel bad for Adam Laroche's kid. I understand the perspective of the owner not wanting a players' kid around the team 24/7 but if the team doesn't have an issue with it I don't see a problem. I'm sure they could have used another year of Laroche but I don't see him coming back, it looks like he's taking this pretty personal as is his right to. And if he setup his deal so Drake would have full access that's a shitty thing for the team to do.

As far as my Nats go, I'm hoping for a solid rebound year. Initially I hated the Dusty Baker hire but I'm more cautiously optimistic now.
