I usually try to keep this site at least PG13 and safe for work, hell I have been out for the past three hours with the kids looking at Christmas lights, seeing Santa, and singing Christmas music at the top of my lungs in the car annoying my wife, but Bud Selig and Major League Baseball are being really petty right now.
At the Jacoby Ellsbury announcement Randy Levine mentioned handing a ten year contract to a player like Mike Trout and not to Robinson Cano. Apparently that is called tampering in Major League Baseball since he is under contract with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. I can see where someone who didn't like the Yankees would jump all over that comment but come on guys, really? Here is the quote:
“Now, if it was Mike Trout, I’d offer him a ten-year contract. But for people over 30, I don’t believe it makes sense.”
Like I said, this is pretty petty. Randy Levine, being the politically correct Levine that we all know, called the Angels and their team President John Carpino to apologize. Levine says his understanding is the matter is over, and it better be.
Bud Selig has always been a Yankee Hater, and I do mean it in the true sense of the word. He hated King George because the team had so much money...and spent it! Buds team could never beat the Yanks because they had cheap players...they didn't have the money! Jealous, shall we say?!?
ReplyDeleteTo believe, one must look at the many things Bud has tried and done to put a stop to the Yankees Money usage. Most of the new rules directly affect the Yanks more than any other team in baseball! Keeping them from doing business as they have always done.
So, I was not surprised by anything Bud does to hurt the Yankees, from the witch hunt on A-Rod for over a year to this latest hunt.
That's why the Milwaukee Brewers got sent to the National League. Couldn't compete in the American League.
