I will be *extremely* surprised if there's a LeMahieu suitor out there for 5/125. I'd be surprised if he got that even if we knew for a fact that baseball

Wonder why #MLB's 2021 season is short on details?How about ramifications of their lawsuit vs insurance companies? They are suing them to cover 2020 losses. Makes it hard to get

The damndest thing about MLB/Manfred's approach is that there were WAY better ways to "win" this even under their cynical worldview. All it would've taken was some moderate long term

I support this message, but also use it as a launching point for another reason that MLBPA did not make a counter proposal or engage in negotiations. Last year MLB

Here's a long thread about the world of reproductions in regards to my artwork...a world that I have been extremely hesitant to set foot on. I know I've mentioned it

Let's discuss this "proposal." MLB is proposing to pay employees exactly what they are entitled to under the season, but shorten their work schedule by ~5%. That's essentially a 5%
