It's bad business.

You and UTH are right. I guess I was trying to throw a bone to the billionaire apologists.

I'm part of the problem.

Sometimes it's worth it to pay a little more. 

Sometimes it isn't.

I think paying an employee what they're contractually owed (for not doing any work, mind you) is fair. 

I don’t think Arte needs you shining his boots for him man.  It’s an embarrassment for the organization and it’s apparently irregular in the industry.  It’s $400.

This isn't one of those cases.

An industry with an anti-trust exemption that is already being criticized for paying minor leaguers less than minimum wage. I think there is a decent chance these clowns run the league into the ground within the next 20 years.

I guess it’s a fun race with the rest of the country.

Could this be fraud that was going undetected?

The minor leaguers don't need you bitching about Arte. Perhaps you can start a GoFundMe account and really help them out. 

I don't give a that's ass if they don't get paid more than they agreed to. They're not working, maybe they should look for another income source if they are in need. That's what my assistant did and she's killing it.

No, their salaries are known.

It's called "swinging from his nuts".

Dumbass.

Nope. I don't care if he pays them more than what he contractually agreed to or not. If he does, cool. I'm certainly not going to bash him for not doing so, however. Especially when they haven't played at all this year.

Here we go.

Enjoying the fruits of my labor in my backyard with friends. What did I miss?

Back to the topic. Was Arte found guilty of not paying these minor leaguers or was it just some Twitter dude with a scoop of soft serve shit to troll everyone?

I dunno.  I don’t think pathological pettiness and penny pinching is good business.  Are we even talking about $100K here ? Lol ridiculous. 

Seriously. 

But at the end of the day, I think Arte paid these guys and this Twitter scoop was shit. 

We shall see.

Lol. Your and idoit. 
 

It’s the Major Leagues. No one gives a shit about your “assistant” or whether she will come work for their company. 
 

Arte is a fucking clown. No wonder this organization sucks ass from head to toe. It’s run by a billionaire that doesn’t give a shit about anything but the bottom line.

And I don't give a shit about minor leaguers, especially when they have been paid what was owed to them - without working a day all year. 

[Chuck]

@robblin17you can hate Arte all you want, that's a fair assessment. But let's not pin this on him until.we get all the facts.

 

 

[Docwaukee]

he's trying to save money to get a pitcher and make everyone happy. 

(btw, no Yacht fuel in this thread?  Maybe we're growing)

[ScottM]

Minor leaguers are paid a slavery wage. Would it seriously kill Arte to pay these people until there’s a vaccine? 

He’s becoming a cruel old owner who pinches pennies and then goes home to his 3 billion dollars and maxes out to Trump and McConnell.
