[Lazorko Saves]

I've been reading about the inevitability of an international draft since the early 1990s...is this really going to be the year?

Angels 1961 has sent a letter to Manfred demanding that fans be able to attend the new International Draft for free, free parking, and with hot dogs no more than $1.

He is waiting for a response in writing and will boycott the International al draft until his demands are met.

Whoa.  Tom Verducci says if a deal gets done today, free agents could be signed... tonight?

Damn.  You mean they needed from day one was an insurance renewal guy to schedule and manage it?

 

Any professional industry with alot of moving parts knows how to plan out a negotiation process. Hurting your own product isn't typically part of any strategy. Unfortunately you simply don't have the aptitude to understand that still. You keep doing you and believing the nonsense coming out of your mouth.

And you keep thinking a negotiation planner in this case could have had it under control like an English teacher assigning segments of a term paper.

”OK fellas, listen up.  Let’s stick to the schedule and everything will be great.  Remember, your thesis is due on Friday, and then your outline will be due the following Wednesday, and the your introduction will be due five days after that. . . .”

WTF.  Hacking a public figure's account is a really great way to persuade me to get out my credit card and buy your NFTs!

What morons.

I.E. 66ers opener April 8th. Come watch Sam Bachman

I would because I often go to the 66ers opening day event but I'm having... elbow surgery that day.

I think he's a little shit. But he's quickly risen to near the top of MLB media figures.

Good. Now if you agreed not to post, we'd all be winners.

All we have to do is impose a fee to post and he will bail.  He only wants things for free.

Seems like they are getting closer, luxury tax not that far apart, and pre-arb pool closing in fast.

[UndertheHalo]

I imagine that this current offer will probably be agreed to.  What this means is that I was correct about it being good for the game to shake out some issues.  And honestly.  Me being right is the most important thing.  

[ScottT]

They've gotta accept, right? They'll start losing way more money than what the difference are.

Then I hope you’re right.
