Baseball players are well paid and can leave whenever they liked. To compare the horrors and depravity of slavery to being a baseball player is disgusting. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything they do has a purpose and plan behind it, both short and long/er term. A top 5 organization, considering smarts and resources. What gets me (among other things) is that Hahn spent 4 years collecting castoffs and AAAA players during the rebuilding phase (as he should have- at least the ones that he didn't trade for) ; not one of them stuck. He waives LH Gonzalez (despite never flopping for the Sox and a LH shortage) and boom! Six months later, he trades for an organizational minor leaguer because he needs a LH outfielder. It's ridiculous. Always reacting, never proactive. Edited June 20, 2022 by GreenSox 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLB's Anti-Trust exemption makes players slaves with no escape options, living on an Owner's Plantation. #Great Resignation #Harriet Tubman Where Are Thou Not only is this insane, but if you truly believed that and were that outraged, I find it odd you would have over 5,700 posts on a message board devoted to a team inside Major League Baseball. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm as anti-owner as it gets, but this is just disgusting. MLB's greed is one thing, but to minimize the dehumanizing depravity of chattel slavery by comparing it to MLB's antiquated anti-trust exemption, even in jest, is completely fucked up. Do Better. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Can we all just agree that Yermin will get called up in time for the July 1 ~ July 3 trip to San Francisco and torch us for 8+ RBI across those 3 games, including a monster home run off of a position player on a 3-0 count with an 11-run lead? 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
