[ESPN] MLB suspends spring training, delays Opening Day at least two weeks

They couldn’t, you know, purchase an MLB franchise. But that’s the level of power (money) they are dealing with here. As much as some despise Manfred, keep in mind he continues to remain employed by the owners of the Astros (cheaters), Red Sox (cheaters), Yankees (cheaters) and the rest of the franchises (cheaters) whose primary focus is their own self-preservation and enrichment.

 

Confusing. No idea what’s going on! Play ball? No? Screw it...

 

I hate MLB/MLBPA. They are confusing as fsck.

I wish they could all be punished somehow. Play with no pay...all proceeds going to charity. All agents who are involved with this mess, must sanitize local schools for the next six months.

 

When, where....oh wait....players pull a Manfred.

 

MLB, you used to be my fave. Now, you're the X I loathe. Thank you for 2017 but as of now I'm done with you. Greed has just killed you for at least another decade and I laugh. Eat dicks.

 

Translated by an Alien Race 2000 years in the future, the transcript of this memorandum is decoded as "Fck No." And the Aliens believe this is the response to a memo entitled "You can shove this up the dark side of your ass." written by a Man named Fred.

 

Seems slimey to me. Last sentence seems to be a setup to either weaken MLBPA's grievance if they sign it or a way for owners to have a grievance against MLBPA for bad faith in March Agreement if they don’t.

 

Manfred is a ****in joke. MLB will fall apart with him.

 

It’s back. Ok who are the starters?

 

I will be shocked if this season even gets out of Spring Training 2.0 before they shut it down again.

 

There is a huge difference in the expected death rate depending on availability of medical services (ie hospital ICU beds, ventilators, doctors, etc).

Yes, elderly and those with compromised immune systems need to be extra careful (full isolation). But suggesting everyone else just “accept the risk” is foolish, dangerous, and evil.
