Type A Free Agents

By Tangotiger

I see no reason for the existence of this kind of compensation. It doesn’t exist in other sports for “free” agents, and it would not exist in MLB if we started from scratch.

To the extent that it does exist, then Sky captures my sentiments exactly.

Glove slap: Tommy.
