by Ron Cervenka Don’t think for one second that the ‘leak’ of confidential information about pending negotiations between Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association (via an ‘unnamed source’) earlier this week was not a calculated move. It was later revealed that the ‘unnamed source’ was none other than super-agent Scott Boras, the man often referred to as ‘Baseball’s Antichrist’ and the man who unquestionably thinks of himself as the smartest man on the planet.
Boras knew that it would take only seconds before his ‘leak’ would be jumped on by the ‘baseball experts’ (you know who they are), who immediately flooded social media with the ‘leak.’
But there was one media-type who called ‘foul’ to the unprofessionalism of the ‘leak’ to the media – Cincinnati Reds right-hander and popular SiriusXM show host Trevor Bauer.
And don’t think for one second that Wednesday night’s tweet by Washington Nationals right-hander Max Scherzer was also not a calculated move.
There is no question that everyone wants baseball to resume as soon as it is safe to do so, but those in positions of responsibility (and confidentiality) – including the aforementioned ‘baseball experts’ – need to keep their respective mouths shut over what should remain a confidential matter.
Play Ball!

@Dodgers Truth!
@Dodgers We’ve been hearing owners’ proposals for weeks, so someone on that side has been leaking too… https://t.co/LexpZotoEa
Wow all very Interesting.
Boras has a right to speak his mind and own thoughts be he should not be a weasel and hid behind anominity.
The MLB Union is not really a real union because each player has their own contract.
This is all kinda crazy to me the owners gotta pay who they have a contact with. If the owners don’t pay then each player should sue the owner for his wages. Also no pay a player should then become a free agent.
Not sure the “leaks” fall into the same classification as the ‘Russia gate/Obama gate” leaks that Schiff from California leaked out that were in fact false. But the truth usually comes out, when theY accused President Trump of collusion with Russia (which was false) then we find out the Steel Dosier was in fact paid for by Hillary Clinton and the DNC but this fact was denied for over 2 years then admitted by Podesta. But the Pro Clinton media wants to quickly move on from.
Very much appreciate your input, Chris, but we have three very simple guidelines here on TBLA:
1) No profanity.
2) No porn.
3) No politics.
I will allow your comment to remain this time, but only because of your reference to the word “leaks.”
Chris, I have never seen or studied a MLB contract, but I would bet there are provisions in the contracts that say, no play no pay under certain circumstances. In this case, the fact the players are not playing is not the owners fault. So if no season, the owners are probably not obligated to pay, if they were, we’d be seeing totally different arguments/actions by the parties.
I believe what we are seeing is tough negotiations to split up a much smaller pie. On the table is opening up MLB without fans in the stadium, sounds like a huge money losing proposition to me. Which is a bigger loser, playing with no fans or not playing at all? Lots of factors to consider, the elephant in the room is probably the TV contracts.
There are two sides to every contract. The players have to play the games as well. In this case neither side is at fault for games not being played. Therefore it can’t be all dumped on the either side.
Consider this. The players get full pay regardless of how many games are played, even down to zero. How many teams will file bankruptcy?
Next year, how many MLB teams will there be? Lost teams X 26 = total lost player jobs.
