New league in Dubai - Cano, Bartolo and Others

[mrreality68]

People follow the money so if someone is putting the money up others will follow
Just going to be another form of independent minor league type baseball trying to be legite using some Name known players.
I do not think it will last long unless it gets some tv time in some or many countries and the quality of the play has to be there.
Not sure How older players like Bartolo Colon is nothing more than a gimic will help

It would help the same way it helps Inter Miami to sign Lionel Messi. And at least on the surface it seems like that's the initial draw for this league too. Watch the players you loved play against lesser competition and resemble the player you remember.

I would think there is probably opportunity in this part of the world too. If you can get even just some of the people playing cricket to play baseball that's a huge audience.

Let's be honest Jeff. With everyone using the DH, Bartolo is one of the best slugging pitchers of all time with one home run, hardly a gimmick. Granted he'll never catch Ohtani though.
