Justine Reed reached out to Alan Shipnuck to vouch for Phil Mickelson’s character, stating “Phil has never been inappropriate towards me. In fact, he acts like I hardly even exist.”
The biggest issue baseball fans want solved to strengthen the game is fixing the payroll disparity that leaves too many fans without hope of their team competing for a World Series title. Every other major U.S. sport has tackled this problem, and every year more small market teams in those leagues have a chance to win. The salary cap and floor proposal levels the playing field, allowing us greater flexibility to address longstanding player priorities while sharing baseball revenue with the players 50/50.
Today, in addition to proposing the largest ever increase in the minimum salary, earned by over half of MLB players, we accepted two landmark changes to free agency that have been in place for 50 years. We agreed to both the MLBPA’s proposal to provide earlier access to free agency, and their proposal to eliminate the qualifying offer system, a provision players view as a drag on free agency. We also proposed to eliminate deferred compensation and to create a new “Cornerstone Player” provision similar to the NBA’s “Bird Rights” to give every team a fair shot at retaining their fans’ favorite star players.
We will continue working with the MLBPA during the bargaining process to improve the game for teams, players and fans.
Sheets family vs Ripken family in golf and basketball?
I'll give Gavin and Larry their flowers for golf...
But I'm not sure Gavin scores a single point on that basketball court.
@acaseofthegolf1 Vogel had the purest swing in college. Played in a couple events where he was present and his swing on the range was just 🤌🤌
