Around the Majors - 2022 Version

Rob Manfred is probably the worst commissioner baseball has had since the sport desegregated. His most recent blunder was this week when he was asked about why minor leaguers aren't paid a living wage. He responded that he disputes the premise that they aren't paid a living wage. A lot of minor leaguers are disagreeing and saying what they were paid, often between $5K and $12K for the season.

I honestly think Manfred doesn't even like baseball.

He certainly has carried a hatchet.
 
Whether you like it or not the Freeman debates are going to continue until one of two things happens. He's either back here or his production falls completely off the cliff. So I would get used to it. No matter who you assign blame, Freddie, the Braves, or his reps, this fiasco will rank with the 1983 Butler situation, the Wren departure, and the Coppy situation as WTF Braves moments.

Eh, we replaced him with one of the top 3-4 1B in baseball who isnt even 30 yet. Not like we let him walk and didnt have a legit replacement for him.

They’re saying he’s ahead of schedule and may be looking at a September return. Just in time to rehab and suit up for the playoffs. So, who knows

Boras trying to cover for the fact that he misread the market and left Conforto without a contract for this year.
 
He averages 4-5 wins per year. So 6-8 wins remaining on his service time. So roughly 50 -60 million in value less his arb numbers next year.

The Angels would be smart to trade him truthfully.
