It's all in the CBA-attached, MLB contracts are essentially boilerplate but I think all contain a morals clause.  B. Conduct Detrimental or Prejudicial to Baseball Players may be disciplined for

A few cliches/truisms come to mind when thinking about the Rays today.   1. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. 2. They all break. 3. Character matters.

I think it was a pun.

So Wander Franco is a pedophile apparently? 
 

I don’t have a twitter account so idk how to post tweets anymore. 

I really, really hope this isn't true. (That he's been having a relationship / relations with a 14 year old) But what's on twitter is not a good look, and he's not in the lineup tdoay.

We'll see.

The accuser is evidently his 19 year old Ex and it hasn't been picked up by the mainstream media.

Hopefully (for the 14 year old's sake) it's a false accusation.

It's been picked up. It's now on MLB's official website.

There's a story going around that the accuser was trying to rake Franco over the fire for blackmail money, and both she and her mother claimed she was 18-19 when she was really 14, and that this happened a few years ago when Franco would have been 19-20.  In general I have some reservations on cancelling Franco for this if he was less than 20 when he met this girl, but it also depends on how old the accuser was when she first met Franco.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      By Drifter · Posted

      I have no idea why any team would want more than 1 philosophy across the board, especially a young team. Possibly a player's demands or contract calls for his own hitting coach.. but I stand by my wish.

      At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.

      I don't see the O's trading Mullins without getting a replacement for him from somewhere.  It's doubtful we have anyone in the minors yet ready to step in for him.  Maybe the same for Urias since he's the perfect backup infielder.  I think Mateo and Mountcastle are more likely to be traded.

      You mean like how the Os dealt guys like Hays, Stowers and Norby?  Yea, guys who are good depth but guys we can stand to trade are guys I want to trade….and obviously Elias feels similarly. These guys carry value. The level of value depends on the player and you can debate the value of return but yes, you absolutely should trade out of depth and trade guys that perhaps that don’t match your team philosophies.  That’s what teams do.

      Who knows.  Lots of possibilities. There could be another trade like the Hays trade.  Or maybe you can get a ML ready arm that profiles as a high end reliever. I don’t think that you will get a proven lock down guy but that doesn’t mean you can’t get someone that will end up a big contributor.
