    Well, I'll just say that it was not a published email address for him that I sent my original email to. So would be odd if others had access to it to email responses from. He could get in trouble if a rogue employee decided to start emailing out from it.

    Sort of what I was thinking, too.

    Great, Dane's spamming the commissioner. Now we're going to lose half the farm system.

    While Jeff has been a little crazy at times, he hasn't been completely wrong. A lot of things have been good calls by him, he talked about the Coppy stuff quite a ways before it broke.

    So I think Maitan is going to get declared a free agent.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    Dang, that would definitely backfire. I'd be the Steve Bartman of the Braves.

    No, it was a nice email to him, putting one last little voice in his ear from a baseball fan's point of view before final sentencing comes down. Figured it couldn't hurt.

    Have you guys actually read Wren’s Twitter?

    He’s not reporting anything. He’s just saying he would believe Gammons over Shanks, more so out of spite for Shanks than trust for Gammo.

    I just can't imagine this happening. Because Maitan unlike the Sox prospects got paid. He got 5M that we know of as well some form of residuals most likely if he's being involved in this investigation. To make him a free agent so another tema can pay him 5M doesn't make even the slightest sense because then he makes out and agents will then just start trying to convince teams of new shady ways to do things so if they get caught they get a huge payday.

    If we lose Maitan, you'll know the punishment isn't about penalizing us for our actions. It's MLB going overboard to send a message to the rest of the league. Sadly I expect them to send a message. Just another case of a Georgia team getting dumped on.

    You can send a message with a 3 year international ban and a hefty fine. 3 years of no international players is huge. Heck throw a cherry on top and reduce draft money for 3 years too. 3 years of no youth is a huge bane to a team. I mean look at what happened to us late in JS's tenure

    Looks like the old guard has found it's next scapegoat.
