Today’s word of the day is ‘decertification’ as in MLBPA as in the union as in labor talks as in collective bargaining as in antitrust violations. What the heck am I even talking about? Well, a report came out in the Wall Street Journal on what the MLBPA could do if it took the “nuclear option” in labor talks. What happens to teams if there is a lockout? How do they get revenue? How do they make money? Junior Caminero’s agent continues to speak out about the proposed salary cap. He took to social media on Wednesday about Caminero’s lack of current salary. Scott Boras held court at the GM Meetings on Wednesday. How exciting! NPPOD. Review: Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother. Let’s talk about all the current front office folk who are talking about the Angels new ownership group. Except they aren’t the Angels new ownership group yet. There is another situation happening in the NBA that goes with the Kawhi Leonard story. No, it doesn’t involve the Clippers. We head to Milwaukee for the story of Gary Trent Jr. A massive signing. And he doesn’t play. Uh oh. The Emmanuel Clase trial is ongoing. What is the latest there? LeBron James and Kevin Durant are launching a youth basketball league. They are set to take on Nike’s EYBL circuit. Will it work? Randy Levine is the president of the Yankees. But for some reason he is so heavily in the Protect College Sports Act. And he’s using Yankees letterheads? CF Montreal has a problem. The MLS has a problems.
