Hypothetical: You’re the owner of an MLB team. I offer to take $0 salary and sign a minor league contract and go to Low A.
If the “he sucks now” crowd is right and I get lit up, you cut me, lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.
If the “clubhouse cancer” crowd is right, you see it immediately at Low A and cut me. You lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.
If there’s massive negative PR, which we already know there won’t be, you just cut me and move on. The story is dead in a couple days, you lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club.
But, assuming none of those things happen, which they obviously wouldn’t, if you like what you see, you can promote me to AA and re evaluate me there. Then AAA. Then the big leagues. If I earn it, which you’d be 100% in control of deciding. If you don’t think I’m good enough, you lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.
You could take away my “antics”. You could take away my social media. You could ask anything of me. If I don’t comply, you cut me, lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club.
What logical reason is there to not do this? At worst, you cut me and there’s no risk to the big league club. At best, you get a Cy Young winner for $0 who you know can still pitch and could help the big league team if and when you see fit.
The Atlanta @Braves:
-Complete the sweep
-Have won 15 of their last 18 games
-Are off to their best 35-game start to a season in the Modern Era (since 1900)
Much congrats to a gritty UConn team that wouldn’t give up. For all those people out there trying to criticize Jon Scheyer, he is one helluva coach and one of the class acts in our game. He played the toughest schedule and ended as the #1 overall seed. Championships will be in his future. UConn players and coaches, you have my utmost respect🫡
*Duke completed a second consecutive undefeated home schedule and third in four years under Jon Scheyer.
*The Blue Devils have won an NCAA-best 32 consecutive home games, while posting a 63-3 (.955) home record under Scheyer.
*Duke now has finished 21 seasons unbeaten at home.
Duke beat a 3-loss, 11th-ranked team by 26 on Saturday.
Now they're absolutely burying another tourney team in their gym.
And this is a Blue Devil team that replaced all five of their starters.
Jon Scheyer should win the ACC Coach of the Year.
“People talk about [Andruw Jones] being the greatest defensive center fielder of all time... and by the way, he had over 400 homers.”
