The next step before baseball can continue

On Monday night, Rob Manfred announced his intention to unilaterally implement the schedule, as well as his rights, for the short Major Baseball League 2020 season, ending a torturous negotiation process that ultimately proved fruitless. Here you bet you have a few questions about where you are now. Here are some answers:

Q: So we like to go? Can I pull my Aurelio Lopez jersey out of storage and get ready to watch baseball?

A: Almost, almost. At 5 pm Eastern Time this afternoon, the players must tell the owner whether they will be able to report to spring training no later than July 1 and whether they will sign the health and safety protocol which the two parties have discussed at length. . The hope is that both will occur, though don’t assume anything after everything that has happened.

Q: When you talk about “being able to report to spring training on July 1,” what happens if certain players – say, international players who return home during closing – can’t get there then?

A: No problem. As long as most players are ready on the 1st. Although keep in mind that no one will take the field unless he tests negatively for COVID.

Q: How does the schedule work for more than 60 games? Will they maintain traditional divisions?

A: Yes, the traditional division will remain intact. The team will remain in their territory, which means that the Yankees and the Mets will compete against the club in only two Eastern divisions. To reach 60 matches, the logical breakdown will be 10 matches against each of the four teams in your own division, for a total of 40 matches, and then four matches against each of the five teams in the corresponding division of the other league, for a total of 20 .

Q: Will there be a trading deadline?

A: Yes. The actual date will not be set until the schedule is complete, but it certainly will not be the traditional July 31st, which will only be a week into the season.

Q: Will there be typical post-season awards such as Most Valuable Player, Cy Young, et al.?

A: That is in the hands of the American Baseball Writers’ Association. I see no reason why we will not grant it during the actual season ends.

Q: What are the actual opportunities concluded by the season?

A: Let’s give them 20 percent.

Q: So, after a small pettiness of nearly a month that has melted in the midst of one of the most challenging times in the history of our country, have both sides really won?

A: Players win with a score of -10,000 to -15,000, which means that even though both are losing big, at least the players galvanize as we have never seen in a generation and, anecdotally, capture more public support than they have had previous disputes. Whether this unbelievably simple victory can produce real profits for players in the collective bargaining round remains to be seen.

Maestro de Braga is the first Portuguese in the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba.

Maestro Filipe Cunha, Artistic Director of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Braga, has been invited to conduct the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra, as announced today.

According to a statement sent by O MINHO, “he will be the first Portuguese conductor to conduct this orchestra in its entire history.”

In addition to this orchestra, the maestro will also work with the Lyceo Mozarteum de la Habana Symphony Orchestra.

The concerts will take place on 4 and 12 March 2023 at the National Theater of Cuba in Havana.

In the words of the maestro, quoted in the statement, “these will be very beautiful concerts with difficult but very complex pieces” and therefore he feels “very motivated”.

From the very beginning, Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 will be performed by an Italian pianist (Luigi Borzillo), whom the maestro wants to bring to Portugal later this year. In the same concert, Mendelshon’s First Symphony will be performed.

Then, at the second concert, in the company of the Mexican clarinetist Angel Zedillo, he will perform the Louis Sfora Concerto No. 2. In this concert, the maestro also conducts Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony.

“This is an international recognition of my work. An invitation that I accept with humility and great responsibility. I was surprised to learn that I would be the first Portuguese member of the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra. This is a very great honor,” the maestro said in a statement.

“I take with me the name of the city of Braga and Portugal with all the responsibility that goes with it, and I hope to do a good job there, leaving a good image and putting on great concerts. These will be very special concerts because, in addition to performing pieces that I love, especially Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky, I will be directing two wonderful soloists who are also my friends. It will be very beautiful,” concludes Filipe Cunha.
