There's a lot of talk about tanking and how to fix it. This, according to sources, was part of the MLBPA's proposal today -- similar to what it has proposed in the past. The league's counter has been simple: the top four picks are subject to a lottery with no other adjustments. pic.twitter.com/Ikz41Wk36h

That is great info. Thank you.

Jesus, MLB and the MLBPA are truly ****ed. Manfred is a huge piece of shit. Nothing will dissuade me on that. Manfred has no place in MLB and his “leadership” might actually be worse than Milwaukee’s favorite car salesman, Bud Selig.

There’s a lot of things MLB can do to make this game more popular, more world wide, but they consistently fail, yet the money is always there. MLB consistently misses opportunities to make opportunities. It’s embarrassing.
