Not sure if it's a team thing or a player thing, but I'm guessing they just weren't comfortable ramping things up so much earlier than usual and risking the injury.

Mesa_Titan Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 It's insane to me that no one is willing to give Bauer a contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost certainly has to do with the fear of losing serious sponsors. The owners don't care about the fans that would be alienated by a Bauer signing, but they certainly don't want to upset those companies they have multi-million dollar deals with. Those companies, whether they actually care or not, will come out against a Bauer signing to avoid any possible negative PR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I hate the precedent that these sports leagues should be acting like quasi judiciaries and decide for themselves questions of guilt. Basically it's become if there is an accusation you are screwed. I'm not gonna pretend we know everything but I know a DA refused to prosecute and a judge in a restrainging order suit said everything he did was consentual. Baseball, or any other league, shouldn't be stepping in and saying we know better. Let the legal system handle it. If they say he is free to work then let him play. If people don't like what the legal system is doing work to changes the laws not move the decision to a private company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelonebillsfan Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I'd be all for the WBC if international baseball was a real, actual thing instead of four ******* countries that actually play the sport and then a bunch of American players having to pretend they're Greek or whatever because they had a 5th cousin from Macedonia.

I mean, regardless, if they weren't in the WBC they'd be playing spring training games where they could still get injured. I don't really see the difference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
