@GresserArt72286 Halfway to my 8!

Point is he’s not free. Rule V is highly unsuccessful, teams have to keep those players in the big leagues. Thats not a viable option for most. And to be in the minor leagues and then the major leagues that long and unable to leave contractually is problematic. That is too long to control a player. Yes, future hall of famers like Soto and Harper don’t have this issue, they are the 1%ers, a major shift in CBA policy is not with them in mind, it’s consideration of the masses that matters, the other 99%.

@mlb_agent show me one player a team has controlled for 14 years that didn’t sign a contract extension! You are wrong. Is it on purpose or do you just not understand how it works

@mtrimberger19 @Tugwakik Tommy Pham

[CJ @CJNitkowski]

@Tugwakik It’s a conversation of how many potential years of control an organization can have of a player once they draft him or sign him as an amateur FA. An agent said 14, this person said that was a lie. This screenshot is an example of how that can happen.

[CJ @CJNitkowski]

@SethandKTsmom Not exactly when, but less than a second after it crosses home plate.

@Tim_Brindle Only because he was here 1/3 of the season. Hopefully he signs back and is on the list next year.

[CJ @CJNitkowski]

Top ATL pitches of 2026.
-It was tough leaving Holmes' SL off this list for me.
-Fuentes' FB is dominant, but his SL was absurdly good.
-I'm convinced Bryce Harper checks under his bed at night to make sure Chris Sale's slider isn't there.

@JrluvinGagirl My wife sent this to me too. 🤣

[CJ @CJNitkowski]

@Smithson_mike99 Overall they have been better this season, correct call % improved over the last 2 seasons. ABS has worked.

[CJ @CJNitkowski]

We’ve got to have more ABS challenges available in game. Seeing a player not challenge when he feels strongly about a missed call because his team only has one left, and it’s strategic to save it for later in the game, only reinforces its value, we shouldn’t limit it.

@ChrisWhite_1972 What is Hunter's last name?

@rangergrl71 Me too! Oversized everything bagel…

@thawk654 Thank you.

[CJ @CJNitkowski]

@ChrisSalesBeard 94 wins, division title, top 10 offense. Season is 6 months, not what we cherry pick.

[CJ @CJNitkowski]

@wschouten3 I agree
