They're not that different from the Sox. There's a lot of bandwagon fans.

And tbh, I think if it was any of the other teams in this exact same situation they'd have been hit with the same type of penalty.
 
MLB 80 Game season without fans, expanded rosters & expanded playoffs for increased broadcast revenue all apart of the plan being discussed to start the MLB season by 4th of July.

  • An 80-game season, down from the usual 162. This will let the season play out on a fairly normal schedule in terms of travel days, and not the abundance of doubleheaders MLB officials anticipated when the plan was to play in Arizona. It will also allow the season to not bleed too much past the end of October and early November.
  • Teams will play in their home ballparks if allowed by state and local guidelines, spring-training complexes if not, but there’s not unanimity on this issue across team owners. For instance, it’s highly likely the Toronto Blue Jays will spend the beginning of a 2020 season playing out of Dunedin’s TD Ballpark. Right now Canada is operating under a Quarantine Act that mandates anyone traveling to Canada must undergo screening at the border and then undergo 14 days of isolation if they do not show symptoms, while those showing symptoms are ordered into a mandatory 14-day quarantine.
  • No lengthy travel: teams will play in their own division and the corresponding division in the other league. There had been talk about reorganizing the 30 teams into slightly different divisions, but opposition from several teams–including a strong rejection from Atlanta Braves management–killed that idea.
  • Expanded playoffs, with seven teams per league participating instead of the current five. Why? Increased revenue for broadcast rights.
  • No fans in the stands until local authorities approve sporting events. With California officials saying you won’t see mass gatherings until this fall, for instance, you may see a season where the Dodgers or Giants or Angels don’t attract a single fan.
  • Expanded rosters, which could include as many as 50 players, though there would be a distinction between an expanded roster and those active for a specific game.

The MLB Returns July 23rd & 24th. I hate the runner starts on second in extra innings just so they can try to shorten the game.

No problems with them changing their name, but I wish they could have gone with something like "Spiders" instead.

CBT, as in they need CBT therapy for how terrible they are
 
Buck Showalter could be the manager of the Mets. He's in the running fir it and a player wants him to be the manager.
