Who's Running the Show?
First, big mouth Scott Boras rants about the Cubs not wanting to win. Then Theo Epstein fires back that Boras never called him directly & that his history with rookies is to never put them on the opening day roster. In the meantime, Kris Bryant keeps wrecking the ball during spring training, making his recent assignment to AAA even less popular. Now I read a story that the MLB Players Association is going to sue the Cubs for sending Bryant down. Who's in charge here? Since when did player agents & the players association get to tell teams who to put on their roster? Theo & the Cubs have every right to send Bryant to AAA & preserve an extra year of eligibility. You don't have to like it, but it's the way the rules are configured. 12 games in the minors by Bryant is not going to change the outcome of the 2015 Cubs season. As Mad Dog said earlier this week, Boras has no sense, no thought about winning. He puts his players anywhere the money is highest, period, whether the new team is a contender or not. And the MLB Players Association has the best thing going with guaranteed contracts - whether you play or not or you get injured. So stop crabbing about nothing. Stop sticking your noses in where they don't belong. Kris Bryant is not going to be lacking for money during his lifetime. He just has to wait one extra year.
