BA says Yunior Severino and Juan Contreras are free agents, too.

Wow...This is really getting crazy now

wtf did coppy do? mlb has to spell this out. this is an insanely severe penalty.

 

[Hawk]

If we lose Bae as well I might have to take a break from baseball for a while.

they cheated on multiple ways on the 2016 signing class

At least the 40 man question will be easier to answer in 2023

I hope the owners will cave after this and acquiesce to a system that looks more like an international draft.

So everyone who signed for more than $1M is gone

Livan Soto and Yenci Pena got $1M each, Del Rosario got 800K-$1M, and the rest like Braulio Vazquez, Juan Carlos Encarnacion, and Jefrey Ramos all got conisderable less than that.

It's not about what we did. It's about Manfred getting butt hurt so many teams defy him by breaking international signing rules. He finally caught a team that wasn't a sacred cow and so he hammered them. It's looking like if MLB could find even the most minuscule rule violation they're taking the extreme action of declaring a player a FA.

Or MLB could just stop taking complete advantage of teenagers and let them get paid what they deserve.

i'm looking for more specifics. it must've been egregious to warrant this type of penalty.

My only solace today is that at least Hart got fired over this ****.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

Mlb still has not made an official announcement correct? These are some of the names leaked I'm sure. But I'd expect some explanation of what went down by mlb

 

[Hudson2]

I f’n hate Coppy and Hart. The rebuild went to hell in a hand basket. Maitan was huge for this team now he gets taken away. Complete BS

All the Johns need to be fired for me to forgive. If we greased the books they all knew. You don’t pay 12 million to people and then report 10 million without EVERYONE knowing about it.

Where is that part of the story coming from?

I certainly don't see or hear anyone taking up for John Hart today. I doubt it will happen anymore. Maybe now people will realize why I was so adamant that he had to go.

He was?
