MLB definitely wants to die like horse racing
Either MLB’s PR people are locked in a room with no escape, no windows, and all communications shut off to the outside world.

Who’s been the best shortstop in baseball this year? Fernando Tatis is probably the first person that comes to mind. I agree with that. Who’s number two? Bogaerts? Correa? Turner? Crawford? Bichette? Story? Yeah, those are all very good players....
