@Alden_Gonzalez@JeffPassan Tragic situation—no doubt.
But the U.S. system isn’t perfect either. High school and college players face heavy workloads, injury risk, and years of unpaid development just to get a shot.
Issues exist on both sides, calling one system “broken” oversimplifies it.
@WestLinnEagleAH@Alden_Gonzalez Disadvantaged?
Kids from the DR grow up with far less and still earn it.
And those $1M+ bonuses? That’s the top 1%—same as U.S. players going in the first couple rounds.
Talent gets paid at the top. That’s not a broken system.
@michaelgbaron What do you think it’ll take to sign bellinger ? I personally feel like he can ultimately match Bergman’s deal on 5 yr 175 or maybe since I know he’s looking for years a 6 yr 200-210
@bennyjohnson This is a joke, we have finally have a president who’s doing the right thing and look at all the backlash from the left. Why not just come together and unite as a country. NY is my home state too..
