The arrogance begins with unquestioningly believing Taubmans' account and issuing that statement supporting his version of events and smearing Apstein's reporting.

The indifference is in the Osuna trade, and believing that it doesn't have consequences in the way that they view people.

But given what happened to Frey, it was accidentally awkward.

Why isn't there more press about Kris Bryant's service time grievance?
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:33
I would wager most people expect it to be futile.
I still like my idea of having a departing six-year MLB free agent get a "bonus" from the team for the remaining service days that don't add up to a year
Not that it would ever fly
9:34
For example, I'd be in favor of the Cubs having to pay Kris Bryant, in 2022, 171/180th of his AAV of his next contract.

A three-person booth can be a bit noisy, so with Jay having joined in I'll depart the chat. I'm out of interesting stuff to say, anyway. <leaves to polite applause, perhaps a golf clap>

That way, teams have to consider the extra service time a *loan* not a freebie.
Thanks for chatting with us David!

Bryant should win the grievance, why would his case fail before a neutral arbiter?

Good night, David!

He's going to have to have strong, direct evidence.
AvatarJay Jaffe

Re Bryant: I'd say that also, few people actually understand what's at stake, and that the arbitration process isn't producing any leaks that would lead to a lot of coverage and insights.

It's been well-established that on this issue, teams essentially have qualified immunity. He's got a huge barrier to get over.

The other real issue is Lunhow claiming they have a zero tolerance approach toward DV,  and then after the Osuna trade saying zero tolerance really means... Only if it occurs within our organization (Commit DV in someone else's organization and apparently Lunhow, et al are cool with it)

Rooting hard for Greinke to get a hit here and make Hinch look even more foolish.
Sonny

Does the immunity have anything to do with their monopoly exemption? Or would they not jeopardize that for things like this
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:39
Nothing to do with that issue

Here's some general reading.
Sonny
9:41
Theo seems to skate for a guy with a long history of shady behavior towards players. Remember the ARod trade was contingent on him ripping up his contract
Wire Fan
9:41
Can't Bryant/MLBPA question Theo and Hoyer at the hearing on what specific improvements on D they saw over a 12 day period?   (since that was the public BS for sending him down)
AvatarJay Jaffe
9:41
oh that would be a riot.
AvatarDan Szymborski

The thing is, there's a great deal of deference given to the teams on personnel decisions.
Hire Joe Morgan?

Dan, that site is creepy.  They post your name and location on their front page.

Wait, what?
Hire Joe Morgan?

How good should we expect Urquidy to be next year?  He seems to have good stuff and a really high-effort delivery.

The arrogance of not being accountable about who wrote and approved the smear against the female reporter is what gets me about the Astros front office
Gray
9:42
Do you guys subscribe to the theory that teams should avoid announcing big managerial or front office changes during the World Series?  It seems like that kind of forebearance has waned in recent years.

Should SCOTUS reconsider its qualified immunity jurisprudence?
AvatarDan Szymborski

Yeah, but that's a whole other discussion!

The Cubs' defense re Bryant is easy: Mike Olt was injured. That ought to do it.
Hire Joe Morgan?

Dan, where did you come across the epigram for today's Reds article?
