In this battle between players and owners, in which both sides should be hated by most baseball fans, MLB just added another reason on the pile to hate the owners. Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred has very thin skin. And, apparently, no spine. He fired legendary broadcaster Ken Rosenthal from MLB […]

Well, next year is no longer next year. It’s this year now. And pitchers and catchers are due to report in around 45 days, assuming mid-February. But the real start date is February 26. That’s the first Spring Training games, when the money starts. When the towns in Arizona and […]
