Farewell to a truly great guy and a pleasure to work with.

Rest In Peace, Walt.

MLB attorney Marquest Meeks tells #nclgs audience here in San Diego that “you cannot have sports betting without the underlying sports.” Joe Briggs of NFL Players Association one-ups with “you can’t have the underlying sports without the players.”

Great to have 14 of our Player Representatives in the office this week. Thank you for taking the time to keep the important conversations going. #VoiceOfThePlayers #IAmTheMLSPA. 💪

With each passing year, Marvin Miller’s exclusion from the HOF reinforced the enormity of his stature in the history of baseball & exposed the smallness of those on the other side of the table who opposed it. The latter will be (or already have been) forgotten. MM never will be.

[AP Sports @AP_Sports]

Marvin Miller, the union leader who revolutionized baseball by empowering players to negotiate multimillion-dollar contracts and play for teams of their own choosing, elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame. https://t.co/2xJ38vPXx9

Punishing illness is just plain wrong. @MLB_PLAYERS is correct that getting players treatment, not disciplining them, should be the priority.

[Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN]

Player treatment, not discipline, likely for opioids https://t.co/Hn8yPITvI0

Will we ever see an end to the hypocrisy of our governing bodies on racism? This is an embarrassment and puts a terrible stain on our sport.
