In case no one else notice Fantrax has a dispute with their stat provider and no stats for Sunday or today have updated

Will update after the Rays game

At the lowest levels they were $290 per week (up to $400 now). Although they claim they work 70 to 100 hours per week. Even at that $8.50 an hour a Walmart employee would be making $725 a week (which is about what they are seeking as a minimum $750 a week plus $25 a day per diem) . The second issue is only paying the players meal money when they are at the spring training facility

Not one person mentioned the relationship with the players which is probably the biggest role.

They don't even have a league right now.

And it was 100% Beeston who did Paxton dirty. It isn't a hidden story...only unknown is intent and the belief of Boras was that it was intentional. Everyone knew Paxton's price...Jays were dumb enough to think he would bend over for Canada. And you are correct it should have zero impact on future discussions.

The pool will resume October 12th game 1 of the NLCS and game 2 of the ALCS

Actually I find that more and more Jays fans are hating the Rays (and there are only a handful on this forum who appreciate the Rays F.O.). I understand that actually as the Jays have spent years complaining about being in the AL East against the big spenders.

This f***ing Planet! I'd pull out my full drunken gloat but there are bigger moments to do that still.

Hey now be careful what you say about bowlers... It was a somewhat famous incident as it led to Billy Martin being traded

He rage quit

Considering he got into a fight with a bowling team over them calling Sammy Davis Jr. racial slurs this probably is not the case

We will be accepting PMs for picks if you wish to keep your pick hidden until gametime

The pool will resume October 12th game 1 of the NLCS and game 2 of the ALCS

Spanky, not everything written in this thread is about you.

Her role as a social media influencer should have zero to do with her career as a golfer. In the end she will go down as a feminist who was originally judged by what she wore instead of what she said...when the message becomes more clear there will be people with golf clubs up their ass who wish they had her on their side

Unless I missed it no pick from Kevin Gregg today

I called out Jimbo. You made a misogynistic statement and got called out for it. The rest of it I will have to read but I know some of those comments I did not interpret as directly at you.

I knew we were ready for adult conversations. Will discuss with the other mods and decide how we move forward

Or she was promoting a swimsuit line

You take a shot at Spanky, don't contribute to the conversation and then ask for it to be deleted. If we can't work through this as adults then I will delete and give you your proper ban

It isn't trolling. It is being an ally to women in sports. Calling out comments is okay. If you don't choose to listen to the comments that is okay too

We know that this thread will end up deleted because we can't have adult conversations here. Here is a list of accomplishments of Rachel Luba: Best arbitration record of any attorney the MLBPA has ever hired (12-10) National champion in 2 sports (gymnastics and boxing) Used a personal relationship with Trevor Bauer to represent him and essentially allow her to pick the agency of her choosing outside of Boras Corp...she chose to start her own. The nature of the relationship does not change anything nor do we know Changed the way agents charge clients opening up opportunities for lessor paid sports to get represented. Also allowed her to sign Bauer as she is probably the only agent who will represent him the way he wishes. She is attractive, one could argue the same for Casey Wasserman. But her look, her sex, or the nature of her photos don't change any of that. When it comes to baseball she is just an agent. I have made misogynistic comments in my life and probably will again in the future. i hope that men and women will call me out on them as that is a positive change in our society which I happen to like

Rays

Dodgers...this one gives me an uneasy feeling
