I’d be shocked if Manspread even appears on ESPN for this special with all that went down today. If he does it’ll just be to have a spotlight in pushing this latest narrative on defensive repeat.

Pretty sad, frustrating, telling, and depressing watching this “return of sports” special on ESPN — seeing the contrast between competent commissioners and the moron representing MLB.

Hayes started one separate from that Jackson guy ?

Actually the bolder quote was Manfred saying the players union intended to sue for a billion plus once play resumed, I believe.

https://t.co/g1O5vNRvGT Dan Hayes started a petition to remove Manfred. It’s gone from 20 signatures to 700+ in minutes and should reach its targeted million over night. ?

Funny, I just finished reading it before coming back here.

Anyone have a pitch fork and a fire?

That’d be better than santa clause

This sums it up well from mlbtr... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/06/rob-manfred-no-longer-confident-2020-season-will-occur.html In defending the owners, Manfred told Greenberg: “The owners are a hundred percent committed to getting baseball back on the field. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you that I’m a hundred percent certain that’s gonna happen.” The union side, for its part, expressed a desire to play this past weekend. “Tell us when and where,” executive director Tony Clark said. However, the league sent the union a letter Monday saying there won’t be a season unless the players waive any legal claims against MLB stemming from the sides’ March agreement, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times tweets. Additionally, Manfred went after the union for the letter it sent to the league Friday. “Unfortunately, over the weekend, while Tony Clark was declaring his desire to get back to work, the union’s top lawyer was out telling reporters, players and eventually getting back to owners that as soon as we issued a schedule – as they requested – they intended to file a grievance claiming they were entitled to an additional billion dollars,” Manfred said. “Obviously, that sort of bad-faith tactic makes it extremely difficult to move forward in these circumstances.”

Bleeping moron(s).

What’d he say today?

She’s retired.

If the owners offer that though, they’re going to look a lot better in grievance battles and in the public eye. Wouldn't be surprised at all and it would actually be a win / win offer for the owners. Players deny it, owners win. Players accept it, owners win.

Bet they come in with a final offer today unexpectedly at these terms: 78 games 85% salary +15% if playoffs are successful +expanded playoffs

Farris Bueller’s Day Off.

You are. ( not really - it’s a joke. )

Too bad we can’t orchestrate a massive fan strike and let the owners know no one will go to any in person games next year if they don’t play an 82 game season this year. ?

Baseball being played.

This. and among three posts collectively, my views are expressed... so I’ve got nothing left to say ?
