@TalkinBaseball_ To be explicitly clear, I'm all for the messages on the hat, MLB stated messages are prohibited and that's why the giants players got warnings. My point is at MLB and not anything else
@Mayor_Mojo@TalkinBaseball_ According to ex GM of the Marlins, he's never once seen them grant permission for any messages written on a hat of any kind even when applied
@Christo97299965@JustinCLeto@NjTank99@Mets Then he should be the director of scouting and player development. A gm/pres of baseball operations needs to sign and make deals and build a roster.
Literally every signing he's done has been an abject failure
@BauerOutage Clearly collusion at this point. Genuinely no reason.
Hell, even getting signed to a non contender for $0 and turn that $0 investment into prospects by trading you at the deadline.
Curious if like a Scott Boras would be able to push you through.
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.
