Alvarez

By Tangotiger

I’ve always found it weird the way MLB deals with potential draft picks.  There is supposed to be no contact regarding contract negotiations between team and player until the player is actually drafted.  Yet reading Moneyball, it seems that this rule is blatantly ignored.  The slotting by the commissioner’s office seems inappropriate.  So, now they extend the deadline by a couple of hours, and finally the union steps in?  Here’s their statement. 

Isn’t it really weird as well that MLB.com hosts MLBPA press releases?  It’s great that MLB.com can act at arm’s length from MLB, when it deals with MLBPA.  Still, kind of strange that MLBPA’s entire site is hosted by MLB.com.
