Why not both?Kinda wish the Cubs jumped on that Chapman deal. I’d be all for a Snell or Montgomery pillow deal at this point.

Saw that. Seems like a AAA signing?Cubs sign Garrett Cooper to minor league deal.
Yes, hence why I wrote “to a minor league deal.”Saw that. Seems like a AAA signing?
He (Boras) gambled and lost this year.Snell to SF, 1 year $32M, with a $30M player option for 2025.
Reportedly turned down a longer term deal from the Yankees, you have to imagine Jordan Montgomery will be their next port of call.
Scott Boras, I dunno man. Do guys want to play contract years every year like this?
Marino, who was hired as an assistant general counsel at the union, left in July 2023, less than three months after negotiating the first collective bargaining agreement for minor league players, who on the call were overwhelming in their support of him and who hold 34 of the 72 voting positions on the union's executive board.
Marino, 33, had generated support among players to take over the union's labor unit -- which he pledged to expand with veteran lawyers -- in recent weeks. Players, sources said, lined up behind Marino, also calling for an audit of the MLBPA's spending. Multiple high-powered agents backed Marino's candidacy, sources said, with the perception that Meyer, 62, was ideologically aligned with agent Scott Boras.

An attempted coup, a three-hour Zoom call and a union in limbo. Here's what's next for the fractured MLBPA.www.espn.com
Really interesting and juicy story, with a ton of different facets to it.
Though at the end of the day it is important to remember that the players only weapon against an ownership increasingly desperate to rob them is unity.
Totally. And the lower tier just got way bigger and more powerful with the minor leaguers entering the union.Reading between the lines, this seems like a battle between the top tier players who are already making millions and the vast majority of players struggling to get paid.
The big time guys are more concerned with big picture stuff like luxury tax thresholds and overall spending, while the lower tier players are more concerned about more granular quality of life issues.
I was watching, saw that, and flipped over to basketball. I just couldn't watch them try to work on himHamstring injuries are the worst. See you in June Justin.
So glad we stayed under the Luxury Tax Threshold and didn't sign quality pitchingHamstring injuries are the worst. See you in June Justin.
No kidding. I am so p.o.'ed at ownership trying to disguise the Cubs as a middle market team.So glad we stayed under the Luxury Tax Threshold and didn't sign quality pitching
