Also, now that I've caught up with those links, congratulations to Matt "Money" Bruback, former shit baseball pitcher, on being named chief sports editor at InfoWars.

(How is it tampering to merely offer an amateur a pro contract? Accept it, you're a pro now; decline it, you're still an amateur. Isn't that what happens to every non-senior who gets drafted? What am I missing? If he's telling us it violates an actual rule, then, I don't know, maybe quote the rule so we all know what the hell you're talking about?)

If I'm not mistaken, it's a no-no to offer a player a contract while his season is in progress.

True story - in 1965 or so, the Braves signed Tom Seaver to a $50K bonus, but USC had already played an exhibition game, so MLB ruled his contract was null and void. However, since he signed a contract the NCAA ruled him ineligible. So what MLB Commissioner Eckert decided was that any team other than the Braves that wanted to match the offer would get their name put into a hat and whoever got drawn got Seaver - the Mets won. I do not believe the Cubs were in the hat.

That was just some bum. The phrase isn't Tom Money, folks, it's Matt Money.

Isn't it wonderful that virtually every other business is subject to anti-monopoly legislation, but major league baseball owners can play by their own rules?
