Stradling 26,335 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Just curious how does this compare to the Dodger situation where David Price said he’d pay their minor league salaries? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dtwncbad 3,100 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Unless I am missing something they paid until they had fully paid a player’s entire contracts value. So the compliant is players did not get MORE than their actual contracts? Lou 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spin Rate 15,414 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 The Angels reframing the discussion is Astros-level PR spin. UndertheHalo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spin Rate 15,414 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I fear that this discussion (like every discussion that has a hint of political relevance) will escalate into a Spin Forum-level argument. Chuck tried to make it go that way in his post about kneeling. I think we can all agree that if we believe Alden Gonzalez is accurate, what the Angels did is most likely legal and good business sense, but also shitty to the players who feel like they were duped. The Angels then immediately responding with a milquetoast statement that reframes the discussion? That was also shitty. Rather than taking the high road, they took the Bill Clinton defense.
