Told Carlos Rodón that Rob Manfred believes minor leaguers were already making a living wage when you factor in signing bonuses and housing. Rodón smirked, shook his head, and said "...interesting."

I love worker owned journalism. Defector and Aftermath will always have my money as long as I can afford it. Hell Gate, NY Groove and 404 media are must reads whenever they pub. But, I fear worker owned media is extremely limited when it comes to investigative work.

Dr. Meredith Wills, a @sabr award winning physicist analyzed over 100 MLB baseballs across 15 parks and made at 2 different weights. MLB told teams the lighter balls were deader and met new performance standards. So the heavy balls (lol) were quite the find.

from my CNN @NewDay interview. Tim Anderson is a *phenomenal* ambassador and herald of Jackie Robinson’s legacy. Denigrating Anderson for paying homage to a civil rights icon, like Donaldson did, is outrageous. You are snitching on yourselves.

Proud to introduce y'all to Curtis McDowald, the Olympic fencer who refuses to hide behind his mask -- my first profile for @GQMagazine .

On Guard: Curtis McDowald Is Fighting His Way to the Top of the Fencing World

The 25-year-old Olympian is an electric presence in competition—and dead set on shaking up a stodgy, conservative sport outside of it.

quick facts 1) soft 2) respectfully, being "great" to players means telling their truths with accuracy and fairness so as to robustly tell the story of what is happening in their sport. it does not mean hiding stuff they say or do in earshot. 3) SOFT

WAR comparison, Judge vs. Ohtani B-Ref: Judge (7.0 to 5.7) FanGraphs: Judge: (7.5 to 5.9) BP: Judge (7.0 to 5.8) There’s still time for things to change, but can people stop acting like this MVP race is closer than it is or that the Yankees are getting an unfair advantage?
