NBA players who routinely do load management might disagree.
Says who? You don't think Altuve or Correa would enjoy days off? Correa specifically wanted to move to 3B to put less wear and tear on his body....
Adding a veteran backup catcher that's averaged 0 WAR over the last 3 years doesn't really move the needle on that. Vazquez's offense is worse...
Pretty sure the backup catcher is not going to make much of an impact on the team. That said, he's still available and likely dirt cheap if the...
In the playoffs, you can play one of them in LF and get them all in the lineup.
Would have been more noteworthy if he said "eh, we're not interested in trying to improve the team at this point".
So 9-5 Duke and Notre Dame would have been in this year. Miami and I guess JMU would have been out? Is that better? Also: SEC: we want 16 teams...
You asked for examples of non-established players making an issue out of a position change. I gave you one - the guy was willing to delay a trip...

Here's video of all 3 plays (unfortunately, a bunch of stuff seems randomly removed to copyright stuff - not sure how the rest survived, but...
Any time you make a catch in the air, it has to survive you crashing on to the ground - that applies anywhere in the field. That means you have to...
All of those were correct calls. You can't grab a receiver's arm when they are trying to catch the ball, even with the most loose PI rules....
They definitely don't need to get a bat from Boston, but they sure as hell shouldn't make a Paredes-for-a-pitcher trade until they've secured a...
Players seem to be choosing the short-term deals too though and with opt-outs - it might be a sign of their own confidence that MLBPA will win the...
Honestly, the NFL cap system seems like it should be so simple but they've made it excessively complex. With all the bonus money, contract...
