    That's on the media (whatever passes for that these days), not LeBron.

    Pretty much what I said. You're just taking the speculation one step further with the gambling angle.

    • "The Dodgers are doing all they can to win," said Cubs star Kris Bryant, who has also been subjected to trade speculation. "They really want to win, and that's kind of admirable. They're really going for it. They traded away a really good outfielder that really helped their team last year for maybe one year of Mookie Betts, which they saw as a chance to get them a World Series. Good for them. I wish more teams would kind of follow that in terms of really trying to win, go all-in."

    He grew up a Dodgers fan. He sued his current team. It’s not hard to put the pieces together there.

    Let's face it...the players had immu ity from individual disciplines. On multiple levels...actual rules and agreement by the " investigators". And proving which player is worthy of punishment, as opposed to another, is impossible.
    But there is nothing stopping the comissioner from removing them team wise as the 2017 WS title holders.
    That's the cowardice. That's the rub.
    And kudos to Red Turn for the public apology from Manfred for the trophy diss.
    ...and the beat goes on....

    Really telling when players who normally keep pretty low profiles are speaking their minds on this. Not just Turner, but guys like Markakis and Trout, who never say anything.

    I reckon they'd better get nice and comfy in doing so. History tells us that the next scandal is more than likely just around the corner

    Fuck responding to LeBron. Wanna see the response to Cuban high-stepping towards the end zone..

    Baseball is a mess right now and they have zero vision to see them out of it. I’m thankful they didn’t let me buy a team.

    Here's a clip from an interview with Bregman, October 2019 before the whole cheating scandal broke. He says that his favorite unwritten rule in baseball is "the way that baseball has always policed itself, and if you do some stupid on the field you, or one of your teammates, is going to get hit."

    I also can't help but point out that he sounds about as bright as my dog in that clip, and my dog is not that bright, even by dog standards.

    He and his best friend(Bryce Harper) have said since they were kids that the goal was to play on the same team together. Philly will have money to spend in a couple of offseasons, so it will be interesting to see if they go all in and lock up another dude to a big long term contract, or decide to start filling in the gaps. Their farm is shit, but they do have some decent talent at the top that could be making impacts around that time.

    The Asterisks scandal is not going away with more and more players calling for the title to be stripped. With Manfred warning teams that those pitchers, managers and teams hitting the Asterisks on purpose will be heavily penalized, he’s now made things worse. Passan was on ESPN earlier today and said that teams are pushing for the title to be vacated as that would be the best way to move on from this shit. Some people are following up to this saying that they’ve been told that this is the only thing that players and owners want at this point as well. Everyday another prominent player has spoken up against this, so everyday it’s just making things worse.

    All this precedence talk from players is not going to move any needles with the commish..I'm pretty sure the commish would also be setting precedence if he were to allow a bunch of players to squeeze him into coming up with a different/harsher punishment for HOU. Now, if owners want to huddle together for a better resolution - sure. They run the game, anyway, but they'd better speak up and own it publicly. Solid part of the reason baseball deals with all these scandals is because player empowerment has been in play with MLB for longer than any league. Guys just do whatever the fuck they want..throwing what can be classified as weapons at guys because they do well or because they don't like the player, whatever

    Manfred threatening to heavily penalize players/teams for exacting their own revenge - not really sure how trying to keep guys alive and healthy makes things worse. Been a dirty game for a multitude of reasons for a long, long, loooooooooooong time. I'm quite sure that beanball wars VS HOU in every game would just lead to worse headlines down the road..somebody being severely injured with a HBP or in a brawl. And the shitstorm/fallout just rolls along

    Actually, surprised that the shitcan Mets org hasn't pounced @ the opp for some Puig drama - although, they're obviously going through their own BS right now with the ownership of their team, so. Still, I know Puig and Cano have had a relationship in the past. To that point - Puig and Miggy have that, as well, so maybe the shitcan Tigers org will pull the trigger on a cheap deal and some clown thrill? Either way, would have to assume that the message is finally coming in loud and clear to Puig.

    If I'm not mistaken, Francona is actually Cuban and reports say he was ready to move on from Puig, as well. Somebody compared Puig to Antonio Brown not too long ago, which I took exception to because AB's a borderline HOF if he never plays another snap. But in terms of their behavior - Puig definitely has some AB tendencies. Like being overly in love with being a celeb, and just hard-headed. Of course, AB has been knocked the fuck out a couple times on the field and may have CTE..people everywhere trying to get that guy some help and save his life - not just his career. Puig just seems to be a natural @ fuckery. Fangraphs did a piece on his situation the other day - it said LAD coaches and players were tired of his reckless, action hero BS in the OF, among all the other BS we know of. He's too big and too fast to be that reckless out there. Shit's not cute. Guys are out there trying to provide for their families. We know he almost killed Joc..what's the trade/free agent value of a dead man?

    It's just going to continue to get worse. Manfred is risking some real mutiny unless he vacates that title. Everyone knows what the right thing to do is except him apparently. With the indignant astro fucks talking shit now I really don't think he has a choice.
